The camp season of 2008 has finally arrived and I am glad to report that we are off to a strong start. The staff spent 5 days at orientation getting to know each other, training, and preparing themselves for camper arrivals. Now that the campers have arrived, the knowledge they gained during orientation is being put to good use.
The campers have been here since June 24th and on the first day noticed changes within the camp program. Our Wiffleball Stadium has been a great success, along with the lacrosse program. Our upper ball field has not seen so much action in a long time. Of course, the campers are enjoying all the activities we have to offer here due to the hard work of so many volunteers throughout the years. It is a joy to see our campers making new friends and bonding so quickly with their counselors.
We are sending 4 bunks of campers to the Holocaust Museum in DC on July 3rd. I have met with these campers and they are very excited and look forward to this trip. Once they get back, check out our blog for their stories. Speaking of our blog, I hope you take the time to visit our website. There are literally thousands of pictures already posted from this summer. Some of the pictures are being taken by campers in our photography elective.
Thank you for the opportunity to share the summer of 2008 with your children.
