Super Summer Seminar 2009

Here is the first exciting news for 2009! We have secured a new and improved home for SSS. The 09 Camp will be held at Herkimer County Community College. This will be the fifth home of SSS over its 27 year existence. Don’t let the name fool you… HCCC facilities are first class and will provide SSS with numerous improvements and advantages, here’s a partial list:

1. Easy driving and airport access – campus is an hour’s drive from both Syracuse and Albany airports, and 3 minutes from NYS Thruway exit 30 (Herkimer).

2. We are the only camp present on campus.

3. Plenty of parking near dorms, training facilities and dining hall.

4. No big hills or long walks (because of plentiful parking you can drive from dorm to dining etc. for those with injuries)

5. Excellent training facilities and meeting rooms

6. Fitness center, pool, and track.

7. Plenty of outdoor areas for training and outdoor classes.

8. Air conditioned 500 seat auditorium for Friday’s “Meet n’ Greet” and for Saturday’s Demo’s and awards

9. New modern dorms that include:

a. Air Conditioning in most dorms

b. Full Kitchen

c. Full Laundry in most dorms

d. Living Rooms in each unit

e. Additional common areas on each floor for socializing

f. Free High Speed internet in each bedroom and living room (you will need a cat5 cable to hook up)

g. Free Cable TV hook up in each unit (you would have to bring a TV or cable capable laptop)

h. Free Cable TV’s in most common areas

i. 2 private bathrooms in each unit (each shared by no more than 4 attendees)

j. Each unit can house up to eight, making house groups together much easier, making SSS even more fun than ever.

All other aspects of SSS that make it special for all of us remain the same:

1. Our first class staff

2. Excellent balance of class offerings

3. Saturday Demos

4. Saturday entertainment with our DJ

5. Legendary comradery.

6. Huge value in Martial Arts training

Dana and I carefully researched and considered every aspect SSS to ensure a seamless positive change that will provide everyone with an even better SSS experience. We also sought out the advise of several senior staff and of course Mr. Campos. Here is what he had to say about the improved facilities:

Greetings.

When we established Super Summers in 1983, it was held at the Lake Placid Club (Lake Placid, NY). The next year we moved to Paul Smith’s College near Saranac Lake. We were there for two years and moved to Cazenovia College (Cazenovia, NY) because it was centrally located. In 1996 we relocated the camp to Colgate University. Colgate has been a great location but, like all of our other venues, it had positives and negatives. We were lucky – we had Bob Pinney at Colgate to smooth out any bumps in the road for twelve years.

Tom and Dana Arcuri, as the current camp directors, have decided to move Super Summers once more. Any time you make a big change it is difficult but, after talking to them and and visiting the campus, I understand and agree that this is an appropriate move.

The new venue at Herkimer Community College has a lot of positives – no hills to climb, training venues that are centrally located, new air-conditioned dorms, no driving necessary, tons of parking, no other camps in session, and it is located right off the NYS Thruway. The biggest positive for them is the college is located in their home town which has several advantages.

I had a conversation recently with a long-time SSS instructor and he noted how seamlessly the change to Tom & Dana as new camp directors appeared. That seamless transition is a tribute to their organizational and decision-making skills. I am sure this latest decision will prove to be a good choice for everyone. I look forward to being at the 27th Annual Super Summers with all of you this July!

Respectfully, M. Campos

So there you have it, the first big news for 09. We are currently pursuing our special guest instructors and that will be the next big update!
