Second Annual Pond Hockey Tournament

It's almost here! January 15 and Camp Evergreen's Second Annual Three-on-Three Pond Hockey Tournament are just around the corner. Last year, we had tonnes of fun and we raised $11,507 for Camp Evergreen's summer camp programs and retreats ... we're looking forward to another fantastic day this year!

We have nine teams registered to play (three more than last year!).

Dave and Emily are getting the rinks all ready. We'll be playing on the main ice rink, and a second rink we've set up in RV sites, next to the main rink. The pictures are of the two rinks, and they were taken on January 6.

If you're going to be here for the tournament, there's a couple things you need to remember!
  • Registration starts at 9AM and the puck will drop for the first game at 9:30AM!
  • The forecast for January 15 is a high of -10C and a low of -24C ... let's pray for the warmer end of that spectrum while you're all playing! We now have an indoor skate shack attached to the ice rink and we'll have a covered area by our second rink, as well. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate will be going all day. But you're still going to want the warm clothes.
  • Acknowledgment of Risk forms. As part of the Pond Hockey Handbook (attached to this email), there is an Acknowledgment of Risk form. We'll need a signed copy of this form from each player on your team before play commences.
  • We'll have a continental breakfast available on site until 9:30AM, but we need to know if you plan to eat here!
  • LUNCH and DINNER will be served here on site. It'll be yummy. We'll also hand out some prizes at dinner time.
For the Spectators!
  • We would be thrilled to see spectators out to support the teams! For spectators aged 10+, there is a $15 entrance fee that can be paid upon arrival (the day is free for spectators aged 9 and under) -- the fee covers off the cost of lunch and dinner. So that we know how much food to prepare, it's CRUCIAL that you RSVP by Wednesday, January 12 at 11:59PM.
  • Spectator RSVPs can be emailed to director@camp-evergreen.com, or called into 403.638.4230.
  • We'll have wagon rides, games and movies available during the day for spectators.
  • The toboggan hill will also be open, but people will need to bring their own sleds and we ask that kids wear helmets on the sledding hill, too.

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
