A new name and a new App!....Wait...what?

This week has been so full of excitement. We'll be sure to keep you in the loop with how the colt is doing...

That's right! We've officially got a name for our little buddy. It's BLUE!A big thanks to everyone who submitted names and voting. The response was exciting and overwhelming!

But that's not all. We've got another announcement that was just emailed out to the World of Evergreen. We've got an app. Thanks right - there is an app for that!

We have been looking for new ways to engage and connect with our campers and guests outside of email and our website. Our App helps you do that. With features like:
  • DVO - devotionals posts during the week (about twice weekly) from our staff. You can ask questions and comment on the DVOs each week.
  • Tree Mail - notifications from the camp once a week about important stuff like if Camp is going to be at a church for a promotion, if we have introduced new camps (like we did last week), or if a camp fills up. We won't bug you too much...just enough to make you smile. :)
  • Youth Events in your area - this part of the App is to help you learn about youth programs and events that are happening in your area. We've got the calendars separated into Edmonton (YEG), Calgary (YYC), Red Deer, and The Rest of Alberta. Churches listed in these calendars are where you'll find many of our campers and staff!
  • Social Media and Videos! Even if you don't have a profile you will now be able to see pictures and updates from our Facebook and Instagram sites. You are limited to just reading them if you do not have a profile. Our Videos can also be viewed here! Note for the parents: our videos are safe but the Vimeo site can be searched from our app which is why you will see the 17+ rating on the Apple Store.
  • That's just the beginning!
Okay - I'm sure you're itching to find our App. It's simple - just go to your Windows store, the Apple Store, or Google Play and look up Camp Evergreen. You'll see our logo and then just download! If you're having trouble finding it Go to this website to download it on your iPhone, Android, or Windows device!
We are so excited to connect and engage with all of our campers, guests, and families. So if you haven't already - stop reading this email and go get our App!  :)

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...
