Camp Cast

Hi Everybody! On this episode of the podcast, Jason is joined by CITs Chase Kaplan, Max Agins & Tyler Field. They recap an awesome couple days at camp including Jeremy's surprise 20th Year celebration, Mid-Summer Madness, an AMAZING Max Agins trip week story, and we hear the guys do impressions of Jason. Some of you might be looking for a Part 2 of this podcast that talks about an extremely negative experience we had competing at another camp on Thursday night the 18th. We stand by everything we shared in the original recording. We accurately described how campers felt in the moment and how we were treated there. However, keeping that part of the recording online in perpetuity serves no purpose, and we want to continue, as we do at Menominee, talking positively about our kids and our values rather than focusing our attention outward. We'll have more to say on this on tomorrows podcast.

It's our third live episode of the summer! Tonight, Jeremy Kohlenbrener once again joins Jason to record a live podcast during a fun special event at camp. We hosted the local Rhinelander 15U Hodags baseball team for a friendly game against the boys in Green (actually white tonight). During the broadcast we were joined by a lot of people for play by play, color commentary, a recap of an amazing day at camp, and much, much more. Guests include: Melanie Rein, Cooper Provus (play by play), Avi Kirshenbaum, Morrison Gold, Chase Kaplan, Eli Flaum, Jackson Flaum, Oliver Schwartz, Ethan Schwartz, Hank Siegel, Hetty Simenacz, Grace Smart, Grace Brownridge, and Chad the Dad.
