'Boomer Camp' Is Like Summer Camp, But For Adults (and in October)

 This past Summer 26 people ranging in age from 40 to 70 went away to Summer Camp for the weekend. The organizers called it Boomer Camp. It was at Camp Ocoee and for a couple of days in addition to wine tastings and a smoked salmon supper, they kayaked, canoed, hiked, swam and sang songs around a fire like kids at camp. “It was an opportunity to play and have fun without feeling guilty about it,” said one.

The camp was a big success; the organizers had hoped for eight people, 26 signed up.

So they have organized another Boomer Camp at Camp Ocoee for the weekend of October 14 -16th. Richard Winham talked to Joy Krause and three of the campers who got way outside their comfort zone and found they liked it.
 

Richard Winham joined WUTC five years after the station began broadcasting to the Chattanooga area and the Tennessee Valley - retiring in June 2025, followed by an encore presentation of the best shows in his archive.
