my sincerest apologies

my goodness! i sure have been everywhere but here in the last couple of weeks. i am so sorry for not updating this but hopefully you will understand in a couple of minutes. we got our spring staff last sunday and they're fantastic. we've got brittney (from saskatchewan), jannalee (from manitoba), dusten (calgary), brendan (calgary), omiunu (nigeria), steph (nevada), vicky (coaldale), sugar (from...well...here), luke (lethbridge), sam (turner valley), julia (red deer), bethanna (irricana)...and eric is still coming (calgary). they're awesome and i hopefully will get some pictures up so that you can put some names to faces. it's been a busy week of training and rain....lots and lots of rain that even turned to snow sometimes. and we all know how I feel about snow.


and...drumroll please. ken and rachel had their baby last saturday. they had a beautiful baby boy and named him Daniel Jacob. Awesome! we're so excited for them.


that's my update about camp right now. we start getting spring groups in this week and then it's a short two months until summer. are you ready?


here's what's up for my camp feature...


ROUGHIN' IT!


this camp is sweet! sleep in a teepee in a remote campsite at camp evergreen. roughin' it is all about a more relaxed schedule - no meal bells, no schedules, just a camp all to yourself. you get to do all of the activities, catch frogs, build shelters, cook your food over an open fire, play in the creek! These camps fill up fast - a bunch of them are all ready full...here's what we have left:


Roughin' It Jr. Boys 1 (Grades 3-5) - July 9-14th

Roughin' It Jr. Boys 2 (Grades 3-5) - August 7-11th

Roughin' It Intermediate Boys (Grades 6-8) - July 30-August 4th


Sign up soon before they're all full! Sorry girls, there's no more room in the girls roughin' it.

Hi. I'm a girl from Terrace Ridge in Lacombe that went to your camp from May 30th-June 1st. Well, technically, May 30th-May 31st. I got heat stroke and had to leave early.
Anyway, I'm just commenting to say that I loved the camp. I'm not a very outdoorsy person, but I had loads of fun. Especially with Luke leading campfire songs =)

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...
