Winter Camp IX Newsletters

- Overview
- Beginning at Winter Camp IX, we had a daily newsletter, published each day of camp to remind participants of what they'd done the day before. Like many traditions, the daily newsletter created a great deal of heat and was eventually abandoned in favor of a mid-summer edition.
The mid-summer edition, like its predecessor, was well received, but not well supported. Even the mid-summer news was eventually supplanted by the arrival of the Winter Camp Universe, which resumed the process of daily updates, sometimes made right in the course of Winter Camp itself and shared with the outside world.
Now, to complete the circle, those older editions of the newsletter are being published on the Winter Camp Universe. - Winter Camp IX
- Winter Camp IX saw the first newsletters of Winter Camp. They were published under the title The Peas Pipe. The editor (youth leader) was Matt Mittino and the publisher (adviser) was Jeff Rand. The title was a parody of Peace Pipe, the Lodge newsletter and reflected Matt's notorious love of peas.
There were a total of 8 newsletters published at this camp.
