On the day that our campers leave at the end of the summer, our staff sticks around to help finish cleaning up Camp after we send the boys on their way. That evening, we gather for a staff Council Fire – we have our own staff slideshow, hand out five and ten year gifts to staff members who have reached those milestones, and of course share in a Keylog Ceremony.
This year, when I gave a keylog at that final Council Fire, I thanked the staff for being such phenomenal role models for their campers this summer, and I encouraged them to return in 2026 to continue being a role model… for my new kid!
I can’t wait to have another lookalike running around camp!
That’s right! My lovely wife Maggie is currently 33 weeks pregnant, and we are expecting our first child sometime in mid-February. I’m making this announcement now so that you’ll know I’ll be on parental leave for a chunk of time this winter and spring (even if our little one decides to make an early appearance). I’ll still keep an eye on my email, but I’ll also let the rest of our amazing full time crew take care of as much as they can for the first few weeks of Maggie’s and my new adventure in parenting.
You may have also noticed that my byline changed this month. In anticipation of the new addition to our family in 2026, Maggie and I have changed our last name to Olive, and I plan to go by that name from now on. Get it? Olive? It’s a little like Maggie’s old last name, O’Hara, and a little like my last old name, Levin… and soon enough there will be a little Olive in the family as well!
So, while I’ve got this big news to share, I also ask you to come be a role model for kids this summer! We can’t wait to bring our little one to camp for the first time in 2026, and if you’d like to be a part of the magic, hiring is in full swing. I’ve made a full list of positions we’re looking for here, but if you or someone you know is interested in joining the team, send me a message at louis@campnebagamon.com!
As for news, we’ve got reports from the last round of reunions below — if you have anything you’d like published in an upcoming edition, send the news my way to louis@campnebagamon.com!
