He shoots! He SCOORREEESSSS!


If you were anywhere close to our two hockey rinks this last Saturday - you would have heard this floating through the trees. Between our play-by-play announcer, David Song and our Colour Commentator, Bob Kroeker - the atmosphere at our Pond Hockey Fundraiser is one of a kind.













This was our eighth annual Pond Hockey Tournament and Fundraiser. Each year we're humbled by the generosity of the teams and people who are connected with Evergreen. We love putting on an event that so aptly fits why we do what we do. Coming together to do something important and having a blast while doing it. Really, it's what camp is all about.

Father and Son having a bit of fun!













Teams fundraised just over $24,000 and our Silent Auction brought in nearly $5000. Bringing us to a total just under $30,000. Again, we're so thankful and humbled by the generosity of our players, friends, and family of Evergreen. We were joined by teams from Edmonton, Linden, Gem, and Calgary!

We had some of the best ice conditions and weather we've ever had which makes for an absolutely amazing day. Over 150 people joined us on site for hockey, wagon rides, and fun family activities.

Dalhousie Divers won our Fundraising Jerseys (Golden Stick Award) for raising over $6000 for camp! Thank you to the Divers and ALL of our teams for their dedication to getting pledges.

Check out some of the great photos from the day:









District 5 Slugs won the Hockey Tournament!






Thanks again for all of your continued support!

Peace,

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...
