24. Why did we choose to change Kennebec
Boys Camp, a traditional boys camp, a legend in the
camp world with a general theme, into this unique hybrid

Golf School and Tennis School at a Summer Camp?
It has been increasingly apparent to us, as parents,
that there are fewer and fewer role models that are
the kind of people we would choose to put in front
of our own kids, let alone in front of your children.
The world needs the kind of heroes that we are proud
to have our children emulate. Sports in general used
to do just that .It attracted, and was attractive to,
those who held values high. Nowadays, it is not so
easy to find the kind of examples we can be confident
are going to afford our children the nutritious upbringing
we are all so interested in providing for our families.
Most sports nowaday seem to tolerate and some even
encourage a blatant sense of disrespect of person,
place, and thing.
Because we believe Golf is a world that still carrys
a wholesome code of ethics and etiquette. Further,
the kind that the world is sorely in need of demonstrating
to its young. It is one of the last bastions of decency,
fair play, honesty and integrity in sports, which we
all know can help mold the values of our future generations.
It gives us an oppotunity to help those parents who
want to insure that their child is surrounded by role
models, that are like the kind they had when they were
growing up. The old fashioned values of manners, kindness,
sacrifice, persistence, honesty and fair play. This
