Pond Hockey!


It has been a very dry (but lovely) start to our normal winter month of November. With temperatures in the twenties some days - it's hard to believe, especially after last winter, that Canada really is the "Winter Wonderland". As you can see - the ground is a little more brown than we are accustomed to on November 23rd.














I can barely remember a time before Pond Hockey when I was waiting with baited breath for the temperatures to fall below freezing consistently. Now I can't wait for it.

Oh - and it's coming...next week we have minus DOUBLE digits at night.

Enough with the weather - Let's get pumped for Pond Hockey! This is our eighth annual tournament and we're expecting great things. Team slots are starting to fill up - we've got a few left so if you're sitting on the fence - time to make that decision and then start fundraising!

The day is not just for the hockey players. Spectators and kids are welcome and guess what?! They're FREE! We'll have wagon rides and a kids competition during the day, a Silent Auction table for adults (and kids), and lots of door prizes.











If Evergreen is brand new to you - this is a great opportunity to experience the camp in an unique way. We're growing! Camps filled up very quickly last year and this coming summer we have added more spaces for campers which means...(drumroll please)...Summer 2017 will be the biggest summer ever for Camp Evergreen.

Our Pond Hockey Tournament plays a big part in providing the financial means to provide programs in our summer camps. We encourage you to get involved! There's a number of different ways that you can do that:

Mobilize a team to play! Register a team by emailing Courtney at: courtney@camp-evergreen.com!
Donate to a team or the fundraiser: The link to donate is here.
Come to the Pond Hockey Tournament on January 14th to cheer on the teams, donate to the tournament, or bid on items at our Silent Auction.

The event page is here and if you are planning to join us - please register so that we can prepare enough food. Remember - the day is free for spectators and kids.

Looking forward to seeing you there! 

Peace out,

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...
