Camp Cast is a Camp Menominee archive in motion, built from interviews, daily-session recaps, off-season check-ins, alumni storytelling, and the loose energy of people who already share the same map. It moves fast. Jason Felgerber talks with campers, staff, alumni, caretakers, family members, and longtime camp figures about the moments that make camp feel larger than a summer schedule. The show can spend real time on a Twilight League trade, a Quagga competition tennis match, a first-night campfire, or the exact kind of work it takes to build cabins and keep mosquitoes off campus. None of it feels minor inside the Menominee universe. A story about a waterfront meeting, a golf green, a night game, or a camper getting a club in his hand for the first time becomes proof of character, history, and belonging. The pacing is casual and occasionally chaotic. Background voices, interruptions, laughter, and quick corrections are part of the texture. Summer episodes capture campers in the middle of the action, with competition scores, cabin energy, King of the Camp, British and American, and first-day nerves still fresh. Off-season episodes lean more reflective, bringing alumni and community figures back to explain what stuck. The show also makes space for gratitude, especially around Camp for All Kids, the Nate Wasserman Camp Fund, and the people who helped shape the camp over many years. Its humor is affectionate rather than mean. Its nostalgia is active rather than sentimental. Parents can hear how growth, friendship, responsibility, and tradition show up in ordinary camp talk. Alumni can hear the names, places, and rituals that still carry weight. Camp Cast works because it treats camp life as worthy of a detailed oral record, not as a brochure topic.
Made for: For Camp Menominee families, alumni, campers, staff, and anyone drawn to the social world of sleepaway camp. It especially suits listeners who enjoy insider traditions, warm interviews, and stories that move quickly from silly to heartfelt.
What sets it apart: Camp Cast stands apart by recording one specific camp community from the inside, with names, rituals, rivalries, maintenance stories, camper voices, and alumni memories left intact. It is less general parenting advice than a living scrapbook of Menominee culture.
Jason, Camp Menominee's Owner and Director, talks with experts parents, campers, and CM staff about topics they care about... like what will make your summer amazing, camper growth and development, and much more!
