spring staff are about to arrive!

It's April 28. That means it's almost May 1 (duh) and May 1 is when our Spring Staff arrive. Seriously: how did the last year pass by so quickly?

In 2010, we had just ONE new staff member on our spring staff team (pictured); everyone else had been around Evergreen for at least a couple of years. (We're super excited that that one new staff member will be back as an old hand this year. Yeah, Becca!) I bring that up because our spring staff team in 2011 features a whole bunch of new faces: it's always fun when our family grows, right?

Some of our team is totally new to Evergreen (Abby, Kathrin and Taylor). Some of the team is new to spring at Evergreen (Chelsea, Erin, Reilly and Stephanie). And we have still have solid representation from the old hands (Becca L., Becca M., Cody, Colter, Emily, Jasper, Julia, Luke and Sarah).

We are super excited for everyone to arrive on Sunday & Monday. We'll spend a week together, training: some people will be trained on the Challenge Course and we'll all go through Camp Evergreen's Safe Place Policy & Procedures, Code of Conduct, Crisis Management Plan (okay, it's not the most exciting stuff, but it's really, really important!). We'll also go through the practical stuff ... how to keep things fun on rainy days, how to operate the radios, how to keep the camp clean & tidy. And team building. We'll do some team building.

Then, on May 8, spring session starts in earnest. We have a very busy May and June ahead of us: school groups, Girl Guides & Boy Scouts, youth groups, men's retreats & ladies' retreats and our very own Father & Son Retreat (there's still space, if you'd like to register).

We look forward to introducing our spring team to you if you're coming out for a retreat or event and if we're not going to see you here, we'd love it if you'd pray for our team -- for fun, safety and great & growing relationships with God, with each other and with our guests.

See you soon!
