breaking ground

hey everybody,

i hope that this finds you well. you may think to yourself that this picture doesn't resemble camp right now (well it may if the +12 degrees weather continues) but i like to put these pretty pics on to remind myself how nice spring, summer, and fall are around here. actually, to be honest - if we had 10 feet of snow and it could stay in the -10 to +10 range i would love winter. it's the -10 to -40 span that kills me. this is the point at which you're allowed to tell me to suck it up princess.

suck it up princess

much better. well there's other things that are shakin' at camp these days. we have started making ground (making? uh, i mean breaking) on our new office building (all the adults call it the Administrative Building or "Welcome Center". it will be right next to the parking lot and it will be where you register for camps and retreats...that's where my office will be and where you would find Esther and Rick and all the other people. it's kinda exciting. i love seeing progress at camp. so i'll try and keep you up to date with the progress. here's a pic of the dig:
so it's pretty exciting and i'll be sure to get some pictures posted once the walls start going up. it's pretty cool to watch.
IMPORTANT: GET YOUR FAMILIES OUT HERE FOR THE DECEMBER THE 9th OPEN HOUSE. IT'S CALLED: AN EVERGREEN CHRISTMAS. PLEASE PHONE OR EMAIL THE CAMP OFFICE IF YOUR FAMILY IS PLANNING TO COME.
stay strong in His grip,
cort

Any chance of a massive indoor rock gym going up (maybe over the basketball pad) next?

Don't get me wrong - I love the current climbing wall, but I'm just saying, you know, while we have the excavator out and all... we might as well just build that massive indoor rock gym we've always wanted.

I think that would really enhance Evergreen's minstry to ... uh, climbers I guess.

P.S. It only took me 2 months to find this place! High five!

hey jess!

man it's been a while. there's been so many plans being tossed around and i don't even know if i'm in the know as far as which one they're actually using. i know that i have my own door to the outside. other than that i don't know much (nothing new)...you should email me (at camp or personal)...i miss you. and yes, myron and cyndi had another girl about a month ago.

hey ben,

there might be a gym going up over the basketball pad but not right now unfortunately...we're praying about it...i also hope to get a high ropes course up in the next couple of years.

trust me - i want to enhance evergreen's ministry to ... uh, climbers...thanks for the input. it's exciting that you're so interested in it though.

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
