Dan, Tut and Camp Endeavor, the first weight management camp for teens in Wisconsin, are retiring. After eight summer camp seasons, it was decided that Endeavor 2011, would be our last.

We applaud our campers and wish them continued success in their endeavor to be fit and healthy. We loved being around kids who actively sought out ways to positively impact their future. We also applaud their families for rallying support for them, sometimes at a cost to the family.
In the camp world, it is said that campers always fondly remember their counselors – I’m sure that will be the case for Endeavor campers as well as Dan and me. Enthusiasm, their sincere desire to meaningfully connect with teens, fun-loving and seemingly boundless energy- that’s how we’ll remember our counselors!

As for Dan and I, our years spent directing Endeavor has been a huge part of our lives and we consider it time well spent. We are grateful to each of you. The thousand pictures we have will provide us a future full of stories of courage, decisive action, sweat, and fun & laughs!

Thanks, Tut Gramling & Dan Dingmann

We know that not everyone loves oatmeal as much as we do.

But what about when you add chopped fruit, peanut butter, really fun fruit spreads (from Hero Fruit Spreads), honey, cinnamon and struesel topping? It gets a whole lot more interesting.

We always strive for a balance of carbs, protein, fruits and vegetables and for good measure – good fats and dairy! So that plain or sugar-flavored oatmeal is lacking a few necessary food groups and substance.

Oats: Prepare one serving of plain oats.

Topping Ideas:

• peanut butter (about 1 Tbsp)
• scoop of greek yogurt (about 1/4 cup)
• chopped fruit (about 1/4 cup)
• cinnamon, brown sugar (about 1tsp of cinnamon or 1 Tbsp of brown sugar)
• fruit spreads (we were sent Hero Fruit Spreadables to try – about 1 Tbsp)
• chopped nuts (about 1 Tbsp)

What is your favorite oatmeal topping?
