confer, confer, confer.
One of the fun things we get to do in January and February and the beginning of March is hit the road. We've been to:
We go to Teachers' Conventions to talk about our exciting and fun guest group opportunities with teachers -- we especially talk about outdoor education, team building and band camps at Teachers' Conventions. Jay, Courtney, Alexis and Emily have all been part of the Teachers' Convention stop offs. This year, Courtney did two presentations, about experiential learning, at the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) Alberta conference. Word on the street is (aka, Courtney says), it was a lot of fun.
Missions Fest and Breakforth are less specific in their intent. We meet lots of potential campers, we connect with former staff, we get to know folks who might become future staff, we meet volunteers, we talk with other camps and Bible colleges who also have booths ... both are super intense weekends!
During Breakforth, we also got to see the Newsboys, which was a bonus. I like to call them the dcnewstalkboys, because the Newsboys's new lead singer used to be one of the dcTalk guys, which blows my mind (in a positive way).
Here's a little pictoral essay on the construction and use of Evergreen's ginormous booth ...
- Prairie Bible College, Bethany Bible College, Millar College of the Bible and Briercrest College.
- Teachers' Conventions in Edmonton (x3), Red Deer and Calgary.
- Missions Fest Edmonton and Breakforth Canada.
