Winter Staff 2013/14

Hey!
We have been busy here at Camp Evergreen, building new cabins, serving our guest groups, training horses and preparing everything for next summer! This winter we have eleven seasonal staff staying on and we want you to meet them!



Left to Right: John, Josh, Jesse,Christoph, Sebastian,Felix,Dylan,Juli,Tamara, Alana,Taylor.
 
Now a little about us! 
... I asked everyone to write a sentence or two about themselves. Here's what they said!

Alana: Loves to try crazy things on horseback, she watches romantic movies like they are horror movies, loves to talk during meals and forgets to eat.
Christoph: Likes the outdoors and everything connected with it like climbing, hajking(hiking), tracking, horseback riding and many more...
Dylan: Master of awesome facial hair, could be a stunt double for Willie Robertson, loves old cars, well used guitars, and flannel. Dylan wishes he had a truck like John's. Dylan didn't choose the redneck life - it chose him.
Felix: Just had the best 5 months of his life. Super happy about the tons of snow here. He likes hanging out with others and sharing music with them! And dancing when brushing his teeth!
John: Has a good hand for fixing stuff and loves all this cold weather and he drives a nice truck, too!
Josh: Is quiet; loves music, snow and coca-cola; he speaks fluent German and is super funny (I added the last one!)
Jesse: Enjoys spending time with friends. Playing music makes him feel good - Side note: He is a artist, anything he plays sounds good. If you can't find Jesse, listen for a guitar. Enjoys a good read every 5 years.
Juli: Loves to be inside on cold days and could easily spend all day in her bed on her days off. Always eats sausages and bagels for dinner! She always has a great smile on her face!
Sebastian: Loves the outdoors and the mountains (Dear God, thanks for creating the Rocky Mountains! :))
Tamara: Tamara is Camp Evergreen's tame English rider and Alana's faithful sidekick. A hard worker who puts up with a barrage of teasing concerning her short legs. She's the bravest German to adventure the great white north astride a horse.
Taylor: I love warm weather! .. So winter puts a little damper on things in my world. However each winter I take time to learn a new skill. Last winter crocheting and this winter guitar. John and I are coaching basketball at the high school too, so I think the best course of action is to keep the head down and focus on the activities and not the weather! 

We all love kids and Jesus and we are so privileged to spend a winter serving Him in all that we do!


Felix being Felix! "My heart will go on and on" - Celine Dion

Well folks that's all I have for you this week! Stay inside and warm.. And if you have to go outside.. wear like 9 sweaters! Be well! - Taylor

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...
