Tristan, Michael & I will be leaving for camp before we know it and we are so excited to get back up there!

There is nothing we look forward to more than the upcoming summer season and this is going to be a great one. We put together a fabulous show schedule and we even will be debuting some new shows this summer.

We continue to work hard to put together the best staff for you this summer and we do have so many wonderful people who will be with us this year. We still are looking for staff in a few areas, so if you know someone looking for a summer plan, please let them know. Potential staff members can submit their application to work with us right on our website. We are particularly looking for people who have tech theater skills.

Are you a nurse or do you know one? We currently are looking for camp nurses and PAs, particularly in session four. Please call us if you are interested.

See you soon!
Beth

Session 3 2023 Shows                (Subject to Change)

 

101 Dalmatians   Ages 7-9
In a loving home in the city of London, Dalmatian parents, Pongo and Perdita happily raise their Dalmatian puppies, until the monstrous Cruella De Vil plots to steal them for her new fur coat! Join all the dogs of London, as they daringly rescue the puppies from Cruella and her bumbling henchmen. With a delightfully fun score, lovable characters, and one of the most deliciously evil villains in the Disney canon, this stage adaptation is certain to charm and delight.

The Grinch Jr.    Ages 9-11
The junior version of this storybook classic is sure to thrill younger campers! Featuring the hit songs “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas,” The Grinch discovers there’s more to Christmas than he bargained for in this heart-warming holiday classic.

Willy Wonka Jr.   Ages 9-11
Roald Dahl’s timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to find an heir comes to life in this stage adaptation of “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory,” which features the songs from the classic family film.

Beauty and the Beast - Ages 9-11
Step into the enchanted world of Broadway's modern classic! Based on the Academy-Award winning animated feature, the stage version of Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. Your audiences will be transported to the heart of provincial life in a lovely French town. When Maurice becomes lost in the woods on the way to the fair, he seeks shelter in an old castle, but the master of the castle is a horrible beast that takes him captive. Maruice's daughter, Belle, must then give up her freedom to save his life. Belle's taming of the unfortunate Beast and his ultimate transformation back into a handsome prince will enthrall.

Cats   Ages 11-12
Cats is a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats and other poems by T. S. Eliot. It tells the story of a tribe of cats called the Jellicles and the night they make the "Jellicle choice" by deciding which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life. Cats is one of the most popular musicals of all time having been performed around the world in numerous productions. 

Good News   Ages 11-14
This collegiate musical from the twenties with its football heroes, wide eyed coeds and stern professors feature a wide range of show stopping songs. Wonderfully American, it is as exciting and liberating as fourth of July fireworks.

Disaster!   Ages 11-14
Disaster! features some of the most unforgettable songs of the '70s. "Knock on Wood," "Hooked on a Feeling," "Sky High," "I Am Woman" and "Hot Stuff" are just a few of the scintillating hits in this hilarious musical comedy with a book by three-time Emmy Award nominee and SiriusXM Broadway host, Seth Rudetsky, and Jack Plotnick.

School of Rock   Ages 11-14
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s award-winning smash hit musical premiered on Broadway in 2015, and has since been seen on stages around the globe! Based on the hilarious hit movie, this  musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band!

Hot Dam!   
 Ages 11-14
On a sunny morning in “The Town 30 Minutes Outside of Poughkeepsie,” the local beavers storm the town square with three DAMands: they require higher wages, closer lavatories, and longer lunch breaks to maintain the dam that sits on the edge of town. If these needs are not met in five days time, they will destroy the dam, flooding the town and killing everyone in a horrific scene. HOT DAM! follows five townsfolk as they tie up their unfinished business in the days leading to their inevitable demise. Loved by many at camp, this musical is written by French Woods alum Danny Feldman and Lizzy Cenicola.

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying   Ages 11-17
A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, H2$ follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive, tackling such familiar but potent dangers as the aggressively compliant “company man,” the boss’ whiny, nepotistic nephew, the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love. Guaranteed to appeal to eleven to fourteen year olds, the show boasts a show-stealing star role, memorable secondary characters, a catchy, witty score, and a wicked sense of humor that’s as biting, unforgiving and on-target today as ever.

Head Over Heels   Ages 11-17
This laugh-out-loud love story is set to the music of the iconic 1980's all-female rock band The Go-Go's, including the hit songs, “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “Vacation,” Belinda Carlisle's “Heaven is a Place on Earth” and “Mad About You.” A modern musical fairy tale where once-upon-a-time is right now, it follows the escapades of a royal family who set out on a journey to save their beloved kingdom from extinction. New York Magazine calls it “a clever, delightful, bubbly, exuberant party!”

Urinetown   Ages 11-17
An award-winning satirical comedy musical, poking fun at local government, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, and petty- minded, smalltown politics. Urinetown rejects musical theatre convention. There are parodies of all- time successful Broadway shows including Les misérables. In addition, the production satirizes its own significance. Last but not least, in reverse pantomime style, the unconventional plot line shatters audience expectations of a pleasant ending.

The Bodyguard  Ages 11-17
Former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard, Frank Farmer, is hired to protect superstar Rachel Marron from an unknown stalker. Each expects to be in charge – what they don't expect is to fall in love. A ‘BRILLIANT!’ (The Times), breathtakingly romantic thriller, THE BODYGUARD features a whole host of irresistible classics including One Moment in Time, Saving All My Love, Run to You, Greatest Love Of All, Million Dollar Bill, I Wanna Dance With Somebody and one of the greatest hit songs of all time – I Will Always Love You.

Our Town   Ages 11-17
"Our Town" tells the story of the fictional American small town of Grover's Corners between 1901 and 1913 through the everyday lives of its citizens. It is an essential play about how we must embrace and appreciate the value of life itself.

39 Steps   Ages 11-17
A man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale!

This winter, many of our new French Woods families were able to participate in one of our online info sessions that allowed them to “meet” some of our dedicated staff, learn all about French Woods and what we offer children. Parents had the chance to ask questions and everyone benefited by hearing both their questions and our answers.

One of the concerns we heard is that many first-time camp parents are concerned about homesickness. I assure you that our counselors are trained and our long-time staff is experienced in helping our campers (and parents) overcome homesickness. Here is a short video that addresses homesickness and how to be our partners in making your child’s stay at camp successful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek0zvv6dlqg  Please listen to it. It is 9 minutes 'short' and includes examples, tips and the means to help you feel comfortable and confident that we have your child's best interest at heart.

There are a few more zoom info sessions scheduled for this month. Just email online@frenchwoods.com if you would like the link.

What comes next…

Let me reiterate Ron's invitation to our new campers and their families. We welcome you  to join us for a pre-camp get together up at French Woods (199 Bouchoux Brook Road, Hancock, NY 13783) on Saturday, May 20th, from 10:30 AM until 4 PM. There you will have an opportunity to meet the directors, head counselors, our program director, our executive chef and the rest of our administrative team as well as some of our counselors. There will be an informational session in one of our  theaters, a tour of the camp facilities, sample activities for the children and a luncheon prepared by Chef Ryan.  Additionally, Chef Ryan will be available to discuss any food questions you may have. Remember we are nut-free.

Please let us know if are able to attend by completing the RSVP form on your CampIn Touch dashboard. The whole family is welcome. Be sure to include any dietary restrictions in the comments section.

Just remember ALL - it's 84 days till Session 1 and 103 days till Session 2.

Won't be long now,

Isaac

Back to Broadway!

 

For Session 1 and Session 3 Campers - If you want to attend a Broadway Show - be sure to have your parents fill out the permission form to sign up now. We have a limited number of tickets and once they are gone - that's it. Imagine what it is like to go to NYC and see a Broadway show with 300+ of your new best friends! So much fun!

In Session 1, we have SOME LIKE IT HOT. This show is terrifically entertaining — and thoroughly modern — a reinvention of the classic Hollywood comedy. Set in Chicago during Prohibition, Some Like It Hot follows Joe (Christian Borle) and Jerry (J. Harrison Ghee), a sax player and a bass player who go on the run after witnessing a mob hit. They disguise themselves as women — now going by Josephine and Daphne — and join up with an all-female band, Sweet Sue and Her Society Syncopators, traveling with the group aboard a cross-country train.

Session 3 is KIMBERLY AKIMBO which has been called “The season’s most moving new musical earning its place among the behemoths of Broadway.” Kim is a bright and funny Jersey teen, who happens to look like a 72-year-old lady. And yet her aging disease may be the least of her problems. Forced to maneuver family secrets, borderline personalities, and possible felony charges, Kim is determined to find happiness in a world where not even time is on her side.

A Note From Ron

 
Talking Camp With Ron Schaefer

Hey Frenchwoodites,

The summer gets closer and closer and so much is happening. Just about all the bunks have been remodeled, and those that
are not finished will be done as the summer goes along. We've put in a brand new dock down at the waterfront. We’re now working on the Cat Theater and expecting it to be done
before camp starts. For maintenance we have a brand new shop and a new exciting counselor lounge is in the works. The
Broadway trips are set and the show schedule is in place.
                                             I just can’t wait.

I want to remind all first time campers and their parents about our open house at Camp on May 20th. This is a great opportunity to get to know the camp first-hand before the summer. We will tour the camp, have a general orientation and have sessions in magic, circus, audition technique and sports for the kids. If you have any chance to get away, try your best to come. It will be fun and informative. Plan to arrive about 10:30am ET. We will provide lunch and the day ends about 3:30 which gives you more than enough time to easily get home. We would love to see you.

Just another note: We are still looking for an adult to head Stagecraft. If you know of anyone, please call.

In any case, keep those emails and phone calls coming. I love to hear from you.



Ron
