Hey everyone!
I'm pretty sure I can count the amount of people
that remember me fromcamp on one hand (I attended
Harand in Beaver Dam from 1996-2001)... BUT∑
Ijust wanted to stop by and tell everyone that I
worked on the film
Dreamgirls and think you all would really enjoy
it! It‚s a wonderful slightly modernized adaptation
on the stage musical for film and it is so much
fun! It was a great experience to be a part of both
in the Costume Department and on set (I play an
American Bandstand Dancer in the scene Cadillac
Car). It‚s funny that when I attended Harand
I costumed shows and performed and now I‚m
getting paid to do it! : ) Who knows if I would
be
where I am without the experiences I had at camp!
p.s. If you are a camp Alumni I have a myspace group
at the URL above so check us out! Plus a few photos
of me on Dreamgirls.

I have so many amazing memories from my summers
in
Beaver Dam. Who knew that the theater bug that bit
me at camp would help
shape my career? I'd love to hear from any and all
of you!

For any of you charitable Haranders. two years ago
a christmas fire burned down my parents beautiful
home. well, all my yearbooks, Harandagrams, and
pictures were lost. All I have is this awesome website.
I attended camp for 5 years(84-89)starting in "New
Frontier" and finishing in "Rodeo."
Any kind souls can mail me anything to 1900
W. Warner chicago, IL 60613.
i'd leave my email, but it is totally spammed out.
I loved every part of Harand, especielly free time,
and the dances.just writing about it now is triggering
all kinds of cool memories.

This is Callie Angsten who was in Pajama Game. Harand
is an awesome camp, I learned and grew a lot as
a person and as a artist. I miss Wayland and Harand!
I am now studying voice at Interlochen Arts Academy
which rocks, in my senior year and I am going to
study voice and musical theatre in college! Thanks
Harand for making my 2002 summer full of fun memories!
Harand was a great camp. Pajama Game was a wonderful
show to be in, lots of grand memories! I heart Plain
and Fancy girls of 2002!

I am so pleased to have had the opportunity to work
with the Harand Family. I am a musician and teacher
in New York. The music education I received for
12 summers as an Accompanist under Sulie and Pearl
will always be treasured. The Pageants were my favorite
as they were each unique and so well written. Where
else can children today learn the many beautiful
timeless classics of Gershwin and Berlin? Thanks.

Hey everybody! It's been a while since I've signed
this thang. Just wanted to say that after seeing
West Side Story this past summer, I realized just
how much I really missed camp! It was so weird that
it wasn't at Beaver Dam, but Carthage is a really
nice new home for Harand. :)

Not many people can say that their favorite child
hood place is still the same way it was when they
found it but I can. It’s called Harand Camp.
It is owned by my family and was started in the
1950s. It is a place some call a home away from
home but for me it is home. It’s a place where
you can walk the grounds to your next class alone
and not really be alone. Its always summer and the
skies are always blue. The waves of Lake Michigan
are never too dangerous and the heat never too much
to handle. Where everyone is an equal and no man
stands alone.
When June first hits, all you can think of is June
19th. The day when the buses arrive and the campers
come spilling out like the sand of a broken hourglass.
Everyone is hugging and moving on to find the next
person that they have been waiting all year to see.
Then they gather in the theater and it starts. The
curtain goes up and the counselors run on stage
to do the welcome song. Its always corny and we
all laugh at them but we all know we couldn’t
wait for this moment. Afterwards it’s a dash
to the dorm to get the best bed in your room. You’ll
see who you’ll be spending the summer with,
living in a room built for two that for 6 weeks
will hold 4 or maybe 5 people. They will become
your best friends, your brother or your sisters
and will always be by your side.
You live in the moment. That’s what camp’s
about. You get to the cafeteria and all you see
are the 200 kids fighting for the front of the line
to get their food. You find your cabin, sit down
and laugh it up for those forty-five minutes, but
when it ends it seems like 5. You don’t care
because now its rest hour and you get to spend it
with your girl, the one person who you could be
with for years or just a few days. At camp you never
know.
You might ask why I haven’t said anything
about how camp looks or what it smells like. Well,
that’s because camp has been in three places
and it’s not about where it is but about the
spirit of Harand. This place means so many different
things for so many different people. For me it’s
about being around the people who love me the most
to spend those countless hours talking or just lying
around doing nothing. It’s about having a
reason to be alive and live life with purpose and
endless meaning. It’s knowing that you aren’t
alone and finally, finally your home and nothing
else matters.

I was there the first year it opened. My counselor
was Grace Trester. Bunked with Paula Okun and some
others. Would love to hear from anyone that was
there the first year. I remember the play was "Cindyella."
A wonderful camp it was with so many memories.
