Ask
an old Merri-Mac camper from the early 1950s what camp tribe she is in
and she will say "I AM a Choctaw ", or "I AM a Seminole", or "I AM an
Iroquois." Seldom will you hear "I was." There is a sense of permanence
that gives our campers a base, a stability, in a sometimes too rapidly
changing world. Those same former campers can walk into the Merri-Mac
dining Hall today and hear the same songs sung today as they sang them
more than 50 years ago.
Each camper or counselor is joins an Indian tribe soon after arriving at camp. When you become a Iroquois, Choctaw, or Seminole at initiation, you have joined a life long group within the Merri-Mac family. Each night in camp, our evening activity is a competition between the three tribes. At the end of the session, the tribe with the most victories wins the Merri-Mac banner and some serious bragging rights.
The Merri-Mac program may change somewhat from year to year, giving new excitement and adventure. The traditions, however, hold firm and consistent, providing life-long friendships and unity. A former camper recently wrote from Frankfort, Germany: "My work has taken me around the globe so that my environment has been constantly changing. However, those memories and the Merri-Mac spirit have traveled the world with me."
