Welcome to cachalotalumni.org, the web site of the Camp Cachalot Alumni Association!

What do you remember best? Swimming in Five Mile Pond? Peach cobbler, fresh and hot from a cast iron dutch oven? Laughing around the campfire with friends? Finally hooking that giant pickerel down at the bogs? Staying warm on a cold winter night in the 21 Club? Or maybe it's that faint smell of ozone from hot sand and overheated pitch pine on a bright summer day... whatever it is, there are sure to be other people out there who remember the same things from their days at Camp Cachalot, and we're hoping that they can find us here!

Please have a look around. You can use the links at the top of each page to move around, and the latest news, announcements, and info about upcoming Association events will always be available over to the right hand side of this page. Our discussion forum here on the web site is no longer active, but we keep it around since some of the old discussions might be interesting to read. If you'd like to stay in touch with other alumni online, there is a vibrant community of Cachalot alums over in our Facebook group. Please do join that group, and be sure to answer the joining questions and agree to the group rules to help our admins out!

We also share photos from our archives at least weekly over on our Instagram feed, and there is a large collection of historic videos and videos from our events on our YouTube channel. We heartily recommend our roughly half-hour documentary “A Brief History of Cachalot”, produced in 2021 to mark Cachalot’s 75th anniversary.

See if you can spot that camp counselor or former patrol-mate that you remember in one of our photos. Have a peek at our Cachalot History pages to see why Tom Cullen Field is called that, or to read about Cachalot traditions new and old. You can also check out back issues of our Association newsletter, The Cachaletter. And then join us—membership will keep you up-to-date on happenings with the Association, and allows us to continue supporting the members of the extended Cachalot family.
