Fall Staff





Our fall season here at Evergreen is coming to a end but it has been jam packed with all sorts of groups and awesomeness. From youth groups on the weekend to school band camps during the week, it has been two months full of fun and enthusiasm as we continue to zip kids down the zipline and jog the jugs across the playing field. With a scare of snow in September we were not sure what fall had for us however it turned out to be a beautiful season with clear skies and sunshine. This year we were even able to keep our canoe pond open until late October! Wahoo!

We had twenty-one seasonal staff stay on to serve with us this fall. Adam, John, Josh, Julia, Kailee, Maddie and Mitch have been here with us since May (6 months). Ashley, Bekah, Daniel, Harold, Joseph, Katrina, Marcel, Mirjana, Paul and Toshi started out in Summer (4 months). We even had some awesome new people come and join us for just the fall season, Jonah, Judith, Kendra and Nina. They have all been such a blessing to camp, us and the guest groups!

We have a lot of fun at camp and we are often pretty silly.  Some highlights from Fall are - Rise Up, serving our guest groups and teaching kids new things, game nights(Ticket to Ride and Settlers are some of the favourites),our staff ride, survivor night, fires and Thanksgiving.


I asked our staff to write some Haiku's about Fall, Autumn and Camp Evergreen. Let's just say we have a creative crazy staff! Please take a moment to enjoy the silliness we all enjoy on a daily basis.

Christmas is the bomb
The lady named Bev is my mom
My dad is not Tom

(.. Mitch's dad is Bob - I'm glad he is clear on this!)

I see a big moose
It's fall at Camp Evergreen
Taylor likes Peter

The leaves have fallen
I can't wait for the pollen

Here are some photos from our staff ride. Yes, we have the best job ever!

We are super sad to see our wonderful Fall staff depart on Monday! (but don't worry - you will get to meet most of them next summer because they are coming back and you are too, right?)

Happy Last Day of October! & take note that last year this time.. it was snowing!

God is Good.

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...
