“We’re not at Pasquaney to escape from life. We’re at Pasquaney to prepare for it.”
In the final Chapel Talk of 2026, Director Michael Hanrahan reflects on the seven-week season as a mountain climbed together. He challenges campers to remember the view from the summit, remain loyal to their values, and carry their gratitude into the world through friendship, service, and the choices they make at home.

Chapel Talk: Earnestness, Service, and Hope by Mr. Michael (Sixth Week, 2026)
In this chapel talk, Mr. Michael traces Pasquaney's history through each of its directors, detailing times of crisis they faced, from the Great Depression, the hurricane of 1938, and World War II to economic recessions and the camp’s closure in 2020. Their stories reveal an enduring inheritance of leadership, resilience, and devotion to Pasquaney. Drawing on that legacy, Mr. Michael challenges us to meet a cynical and uncertain world with earnestness, selfishness with service, and adversity with kindness, fellowship, and hope -- reminding us that Pasquaney is not an escape from the world, but a place that prepares us to change it.
