brrrrrr - c-bear hates winter


well the temperature doesn't look like it's going up anymore. i think that we have one day this next week that is double digits. YUCK. i am not looking forward to dealing with icy roads and snow. i just like to think about the YA HA TINDA (which is where we do our Adventure Camps - see the picture above...that's Big Horn Creek). i love the green grass and even drip drip drop. drip drip drop would not be a very good idea in the winter...no - definitely not a good idea. but i guess that there are always things that you can't do in the summer. so why don't you help me in listing things that you would love to do in the winter that you can't do (or atleast not very well) in the summer. here's a couple examples:
1. tobogganing sucks in the summer
2. although i've never tried it, i hear that ice skating outside doesn't work very well

so...let's poo poo summer a bit (maybe that will make me feel better about winter)...i look forward to your responses...

im suprized you didn't mention snowball fights...also "sitting in front of a fire sipping hot chocolate whilst reading 'calvin and hobbes' (or in your case "get fuzzy")and wrapping your self in a blanket" i think that would not be so fun in the summer

I like winter and summer. When it is summer sometimes you wish it was winter. When it is winter you wish it was summer. The one thing I like about winter is you can snowboard and stuff like that.

I would have to say being crazy with all your friends making snowangels and all of the stuff like that. Gotta love the snow down the shirt and getting thrown in piles of snow.

Hey Cort, I just found this place.

I miss camp so much! That picture made me wish I were out there.

Anyways, Dale can't break through ice and sink the tractor in summer...

You cannot really have snowball fights during the summer because then rocks tend to come into play and it's just not on my top 10 list to get hit in the head with a rock.

And in winter you cannot go swimming very well...I suppose you can...I have...but it is very cold and is a recipe for hypothermia.

Summer and winter both are good. But summer moreso cuz I am at camp longer then.

Well, let's see... in winter you don't get sunburn from only wearing +4 sunscreen while tanning, you don't get eaten alive by mosquitoes during campfires, and don't get stuck playing drip-drip-drop right after you finish straightening your hair. You DO get to see the stars more often cuz it gets dark earlier, you get to wear all the cute mittens and fuzzy socks you've been saving since last year, you get to watch the snow fly up under the horses' hooves when they come up in the morning, you get to decorate for christmas, and you get to watch the snow fall outside your window, sip at your Hazelnut flavoured coffee, and tell someone ELSE to go outside and shovel!! Have an awesome day, Cort. I miss you guys!! -Sheena

Keep Calm and Play Jug 'n' Jog

Jug 'n' Jog. If the world could just play more Jug 'n' Jog - I think it would be a happier place. It is quite possibly the number one, most singularly enjoyed game at camp. In fact - there are times when I think kids could come to camp, only play Jug 'n' Jog and leave being the happiest kids on Earth. In fact, we could almost be renamed Camp Jug 'n' Jog. And it's also funny - my computer or iPhone doesn't even recognize the words or phrase as being a spell check. That's when you know you talk about something a lot. You might think that those opening statements are strange or even foreign - maybe you don't even know what Jug 'n' Jog is...well, let me tell you! It's epic, it's fantastic, and it's played with recycling (we have to be good stewards, you know). The concept is quite simple - the field is divided into two halves, each team has a square on it with recycled jugs in it. The goal is to get the other team...
