Dear Belknap Family,Each Woodcraft a new brave is inducted into the Bald Eagle Tribe and recites The Lamp of Love,

reminding us to Be helpful and to do your share of the work. As we present you with this Annual Re-port on Giving, we are delighted to report that in 2013 the Belknap community did its share of the work. We had a record giving year in 2013, with nearly 900 supporters and volunteers, coming from 35 states across the country and multiple countries around the world. We thank each one of you for your support. We have a community that cares and believes in Belknap’s mission; for this we are blessed. Thank you for appreciating the impact Belknap has on so many boys’ lives.

Your support is making the Belknap experience as strong as ever: we are fortunate to have an in-crease in scholarship funds, campers enjoying the stars from Farm Island, a well maintained property and, most importantly, a dedicated and enthusiastic staff. Our homegrown leadership continues to be at the core of our excellence; it assures that the Belknap Spirit is passed down to campers and thus brought home to the dinner table, the sports field, the school, the office and the greater community. We are developing life-long leaders.

As we embark on our first summer as solo Directors, we move forward with conviction and energy. Belknap is now home for our family, we hope for decades to come. Thank you for welcoming us in 2013. You have our commitment that we will work tirelessly to protect and strengthen Belknap.

Our 1914 brochure stated “The success or failure of a boys’ camp depends chiefly upon leadership.” This is still true today, and we thank each one of you for leading by example and doing your share of the work in 2013. We hope to see you all this summer beneath the pines.

Timi-Hi,

Thanks to the following volunteers who have done their share of the work!

I want to pass it on. In my 15 years of being a Belknapper, there has never been a single reason for me not to return. Belknap is a veritable paradise, a place where boys can be boys and, more importantly, can be themselves, free of the pressures of the outside world. Beautiful scenery, incred-ible leadership and life-long friendships made under the pines all contribute to my returning every summer.

At this point in my life, I can’t imagine leaving Belknap. This was not always the case for me. As a young camper, I was ex-tremely homesick. I spent each night cry-ing myself to sleep and writing terribly sad letters home to my parents, begging them to come pick me up. They never came early to pick me up, and this is something that I am eternally grateful for. There’s no saying how different my life would have been if they had, but I can certainly tell you I would not be the person I am today if it had not been for Belknap.

Over the years I transformed from “Homesick Harry” into a fullfledged “Bobby Belknap.” I couldn’t wait for my two weeks under the pines every summer, the time will come when I could finally be one of the boys. I have three sisters and no brothers back home, but Belknap changed that for me. Now instead of hav-ing no brothers, I have dozens, and they are some of the closest friends I will ever have in my life. Belknap has given me more than I could ever imagine, and I want to give back as much as I can in re-turn. Though I don’t think I could ever fully repay Belknap for the incredible in-

fluence that it’s had on my life, I would like to try. During my years in the Cadets, every homesick camper I’ve talked to, ev-ery period I’ve run and every cabin night I’ve led brings me right back to the times when I was a camper and fills me with such a sense of joy that I can’t imagine not coming back for more. I know someday the time will come where I will no longer be able to return. Until then, I will remain at Belknap and try my best to give others the incredible experiences that Belknap gave to me.

Rory Germain, LC ‘06, served in the Cadets for six summers, including two as Cadet Division Head. He will be an As-sistant Program Director in 2014, his 16th summer beneath the pines.

by Matt Arrix

As I sit in class, watching the snow fall from the sky on a cold January day, the only thing I can think about is Belknap. I remember those hot summer days and wanting to do nothing else but relax and swim in the Winniper. I remember hear-ing the sound of the pines whispering in the wind while attending Sunday night vespers, and tasting congo bars and bug juice on a 4th of July evening. I remember the feel of sand rushing through my fin-gertips on Cadet Beach, and the smell of chicken patties filling the dining hall air. I remember the sight of finally seeing my best friends after way too long. I remem-ber the tears rolling down my face as I pull out of Chase Point Road, ending yet an-other amazing year at Belknap. Now that I look back, all of these incredible memo-ries are why I go to camp.

Camp Belknap is a place where you can be yourself and not worry about the social pressures at home or at school. Belknap is a haven where everything has a positive meaning, from Adams Cup, teaching us how to have good sportsmanship, to re-specting our elders at any moment of any day. Throughout my five years at Belknap, I have always been myself and have never been disrespected by any camper or lead-er, making Belknap an amazing place to grow and learn as a person. In my mind, Belknap is possibly one of the most inspi-rational educators of my entire life. From age eight to age thirteen, I have learned so many life lessons, making me who I am today. If I didn’t go to Belknap, I would never have met such amazing friends or

known the coolest group of 18 to 22+ year old guys in the world. Plus, I have learned how to set a perfect table and do the breast stroke thanks to Thurbs. One thing though that I have carried away throughout my life from Belknap is sim-ply being kind to any person, plant, or even animal. I have to say, being in such a kind environment really rubs off on you in a positive way. To this day, I have kept every story a leader has told me, every ves-per that has been told, and every lesson I have learned and it has truly changed me from now till forever.

I miss every moment of Belknap, and I am counting down the days when I can return to my favorite place on earth. I cannot wait to start my routine again and wake to music playing and smiles being shown everywhere I go. Now going on six years at camp, it is clear that Belknap is a special place, and I could never imagine myself not being there every summer. I am happy to say that I will be back this summer reliving every memory and en-joying another amazing year at Belknap.

Matt Arrix, age 13, received his Timi-Hi Five Award last summer and looks forward to many more summers at Belknap.

Why I ReturnWhy I GoTell Me Why

4 | Annual Report on Giving

by Christine & John Teague

Similar to most families we give to say thanks to an institution and a place that has given so much to us. We give for rea-sons that are both intensely personal and grandly visionary.

Belknap has been a gathering place for our four sons, a place that allowed them to regroup as the centrifugal forces of time and distance began to cause the pack to disperse and lose touch. Reuben, our el-dest, summed it up in a chapel talk when he said, “Camp Belknap: Where friends become brothers and brothers become friends.”

We give as well so that there is a Belknap on the land, facing Farm Island,

as far into the future as anyone can see. We give not to build a shrine to memory, but to enshrine and preserve an idea. As we watched our sons mature at Belknap, we witnessed what a powerful idea it is. The passage from boy to man is hard work. At Belknap it’s also a lot of fun.

The Teague family hails from Concord, NH and has been associated with Belknap since the 80’s when John and Christine dropped their first son off at Belknap. In addition to sending all four sons to Belknap, John served for 17 years on the Board. All four sons (Reuben, Neal, Dan and Alex) were also Leaders. In just a few short years, the next generation of Teagues will have the opportunity to attend Belknap

Why We GiveTell Me Why

Tell Me WhyTell me why the stars do shine.

Tell me why the ivy twines.Tell me why the sky’s so blue.

Tell me, dear Belknap, just why I love you.

Because God made the stars to shine,Because God made the ivy twine,Because God made the sky so blue,

That’s why, dear Belknap, just why I love you.

by Dexter C. Whittinghill, Jr.

Except for what my parents taught me—which really wasn’t enough—I learned most of my life skills at Camp Belknap, on the shores of Winnipesaukee.

I went to camp for the first time in 1941 at fifteen and spent three summers as a senior camper. After World War II, I

went back for the summers of 1947-49 as a leader, eventually working my way up to Senior Division Head.

As a camper, I met three men whom I greatly admired and consider lifelong men-tors: Harry Bennett was my cabin leader; Rob Britton was my tennis coach; and George “Tiny” Thompson was my base-ball and swimming instructor. Because I looked up to them so much, I wanted to emulate them when I came back after

three years at war. I taught baseball and tennis, then became Land Sports Director.

The Belknap motto—“God First, the other fellow second; myself last”—has stayed with me. I learned life skills at camp and faced significant challenges. Tiny Thompson was killed in the war. This was my first experience of losing a close male friend, especially one I so ad-mired. At Belknap I learned to win and lose and to embody good sportsmanship. I learned to plan, organize, and lead trips. These leadership skills paid off well in my career, where I often had to make presentations, travel around the country, and organize groups of people. As an In-dustrial Engineer, my job was often to go into a plant or office, watch and listen and learn about what was going on there, and then streamline operations to make it less costly. This related directly to the abilities I developed at camp, organizing athletic events, overnight trips and hikes.

Vespers and Sunday services, in which we leaders often played a part, helped me develop life skills, giving me confidence and an aptitude for public speaking. As an adult I’ve delivered eleven eulogies, and my ability to handle that responsibility stemmed from my participation in vespers at the Belknap Chapel in the Grove.

The skills I developed in organizing and managing a team paid off in my role as editor of the 1950 Middlebury Col-lege graduation book, in many roles in the Navy, and as an assistant coach and manager of the MIT hockey team while at graduate school. In so very many ways, Belknap provided me with the opportuni-ties to succeed in life.

As a leader, I tried to encourage kids. They’d say, “I don’t think I play well enough to be on the baseball team,” and I’d respond, “Why don’t you try out? I’ll coach you from the sidelines.” Some de-veloped into fine players. Others less good at baseball, I might encourage to get into nature or compete in swimming. My Dad couldn’t swim, so he never taught me. I had to learn at Belknap. My first year at 15 I had to go to Midget Beach with younger boys, but eventually I became a strong swimmer who could take out boats and eventually lead campers out to the is-land for overnights.

Throughout my adult life, I’ve ended up as a leader in almost every organiza-tion I’ve joined: church, community or professional. I attribute this to the skills I developed at Belknap—and to my early mentors Harry, Rob & Tiny. They taught me to go out and lead. I’ve been doing that ever since.

Dex Whittinghill Jr. was born on July 23, 1926. His sons David and Dexter III (LC ’69) were Belknappers, Dex serving as a cabin leader from 1970-72. His brother Dick, now deceased, also attend-ed Belknap, followed by his two sons Gary and Ken, who both were campers and lead-ers. Dex and wife Norma live in Bedford, Massachusetts. This piece was origi-nally published in The Experience of Our Years, a writing and remembrance project at Carleton-Willard Village.

Farm Island Campaign UpdateWe have entered the final year of collecting pledges for the Farm Island Campaign. This wonderful, historic effort has changed Belknap

forever, securing 1400 feet of shoreline on the island that shapes and protects the quiet waters of the bay for generations of Belknap boys. The Adams Environmental Center and Clark Lodge are both vital improvements to the Belknap campus, expanding programs and organizational capabilities.

The anticipated payoff of the note on the island and enhancements to the endowment are both essential to Belknap’s long-term financial strength. The below individuals made gifts to the Farm Island Campaign in 2013. Upon completion of the campaign all 951 donors to the campaign will be recognized on a donor board. All outstanding campaign pledges are due by the end of 2014, and we are confident that our loyal Belknap family will once again demonstrate fortitude, truth, beauty and love of the Magic Circle. Belknap boys will be forever grateful.

White Pines SocietyThe White Pines Society is established to recognize and honor

individuals who make provisions in their estate for a gift to Belknap. A planned gift demonstrates lifelong support of Belknap’s mission and enables the camp to continue its rich tradition of making good boys better.

Planned gifts can be made through a bequest or by naming Belknap as a beneficiary of part or all of a retirement asset. Bequests may help fulfill your philanthropic goals without relinquishing cur-rent assets and may provide tax relief for you or your heirs.

Adding your name as a White Pines Society member acknowl-edges your commitment to Belknap’s mission. If you would like more information or have already made provision for Belknap in your estate planning, please contact Seth & Steph Kassels at 603-569-3475 or alumni@campbelknap.org.

Belknap Alumni Family CampAugust 29th - September 1st

Before the summer camping season is over, we invite Belknappers past and present to share Belknap with the people that they care about. Bring your parents, siblings and friends to enjoy a long week-end under the pines. Over the course of the weekend, you will enjoy meals in the dining hall, play sports on the courts and fields, swim in the lake, and live in a cabin. It doesn’t matter how long you have been away from camp; once a Belknapper, always a Belknapper. If you are interested, review Belknap’s website or call camp for more information.

Women’s Wellness RetreatSeptember 4th - 7th

A women’s (parents, mothers, sisters and friends) only retreat. Come relax and be renewed in the woods and on the lake. Engage in well-ness and art workshops, take a canoe out, enjoy yoga on the water-front and more. See Belknap’s website or call camp for more infor-mation.
