I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about the camp as much as I do. This momentum belongs entirely to you and your willingness to speak up for a place that has helped so many of us.

Attended CampTippe when I was a kid & my kids have been attending for the past 10 yrs. We even moved out of state & still make the 10 hr drive back so kids can continue to go each year. Scott & Carrie are the reason my kids have had such a great experience & continue to come back.

You are facing a posible PR nightmare in replacing a popular and very effective director team at Camp Tippecanoe. . I have been involved in the Camp since 1971 and have not seen the level of commitment and enthusiasm generated by this couple. Please reconsider your actiond.

"OUR MISSION To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all." This is the mission of the YMCA. By removing the Weigleys from Camp, you are not only putting OUR mission to shame, you are tearing into a million little pieces.

The Weigleys are even just directors. They are friends, leaders, parents, siblings, tear wipers, hand holders, and wing builders to me and many other whom they taught to fly in their time as my bosses and the directors of Tipp.

As a member of the Tippecanoe Board, I believe this to be a foolish decision. In the 10+ years since Scott has taken over camp, things have greatly improved. I strongly encourage the YMCA to reconsider this decision.

Scott and Carrie truly make kids feel like they are part of a family. Tippecanoe helped me to come out of my shell and gave me friendships that will last a lifetime. Scott and Carrie live the I Am Third Rule and do everything they can to make every child feel welcome at camp

Scott and Carrie make the camp shine. There are not enough places like Tippecanoe in the world.
