Kingswood’s spanking new brochure

This autumn, we redesigned the Kingswood brochure.  Several of you already have copies and can attest to how bright, shiny and fresh it feels.  Sara gets 100 % of the photography credit!  We hope you enjoy seeing the piece in “screen shot” segments, even if these lack the crispness of the actual product.  If you … Continue reading

Come to Kingswood:  In the Autumn!

Come to Kingswood: In the Autumn!

  Autumn is a great time to be at camp.  The weather usually is quite nice, and, of course, you cannot beat those New England colors.  Moreover, this is the best time of year to disturb the property with new projects as the ground is both dry and has plenty of time to recover before the … Continue reading

Fat Bob’s Stock Sky-rockets

We might have to rent buses to get everyone to Fat Bob’s who re-enrolled before October 15.  Thanks so much to all those parents, who no doubt feared the loss of their sons’ love were they to ignore this early incentive.  Every boy pictured below has registered for Summer 2016.  This is the highest number … Continue reading

Gaggles of Boys

Gaggles of Boys

Mr. Wiff is forever hollering “photo op” to capture the perfect snapshot to share with parents.  Ah, but there is a method to his madness. He is forever thinking of winter days when many of us are tiring of the bleakness of the outdoors, and can be uplifted by the sight of Kingswood campers in … Continue reading

Fond Memories (certain to be repeated)

March 2:  The sun is out and is melting the ice that had accumulated on everything outdoors here in Maryland.  Perhaps a hint of Spring? We have plenty of newcomers to these Monday Blues Busters.   So, let’s show them what fond memories look like at Kingswood and urge them to picture themselves in the … Continue reading
