The Countdown is on!

Happy December!

Did that happen a little too quickly for anyone else? I was quite comfortable with November and then all of a sudden Tuesday happened and it was December...I don't know if I was ready to start saying/writing December. But it's here and Christmas is coming!

Christmas isn't the only thing coming. There's a couple other things that are right around the corner. Summer Camp Registration starts on January 4th! That's seriously only four weeks from Monday. Can we set a record again for first day registrations? I can't wait for it!

Then only days later is our annual Pond Hockey Tournament. This is always an extremely fun day where folks who love camp get together to play some hockey and raise money to support the activities and operations at camp. What better way to celebrate and support what happens at camp then to have an incredibly fun day at camp!

We have teams registering to play and Silent Auction items just begging to be bid on. This year we're excited to include a helicopter flight from Alpine Helicopters in Canmore, Oilers and Flames ticket packages and some other fantastically exciting items on the Auction table.

Last year, Lendrum hoisted the Fundraising trophy by raising $12,000. Can they do it again? Will someone out-raise them? These are questions that get me very excited.

This tournament means that we can continue to develop activity areas and create a place where people from all walks of life can come and experience camp - a place where Lives are Transformed.

This year - we are upping the anti (I think that's how you spell out that phrase) - the top fundraising team will receive custom Camp Evergreen hockey jerseys. 

We still have a couple spots for teams - deadline for registration is December 15th, 2015 (REGISTER A TEAM HERE) and if you don't have a team to fundraise with - call the camp! We can put your money towards a team. CLICK HERE to find where you can donate online!

Lastly - plan to be here on January 9th, 2016 for our Pond Hockey Tournament. There's great food, Silent Auction items to bid on, a kid skate, and great hockey to watch...I hear there's rumour of some wagon rides too!

The puck drops at camp on January 9th...let's get ready to rummmmbbbll...I mean fundraaaaaiiissssseeeee! ;)

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...
