A Perfect Day

One of our favourite days of the year happened on May 25th. It was our annual Senior's Day here at Camp Evergreen. We love it - we love when we are able to welcome these folks on site and show them around.  They are always such an encouragement to our staff.

We even had some Senior's on Friday who were brand new to Camp Evergreen! Brand new first time "campers"! Now - if you think you're too old for camp...you'd better start reconsidering!

We had a fantastic time touring the camp - seeing the site for the new building, hiking out to the barns to see Blue, our newest addition to our horse herd, and of course, to our Archery Range where nearly every Senior had a chance at shooting an arrow at some balloons filled with candy. What a wonderful adventure Friday was!

Check out some of the awesome pictures from the day:

Blue was quite curious about all of the visitors!
 Our Seniors were treated to a wagon ride by our horse team, April and Irish!

I love Senior's Day! One of my favourite parts is visiting with many of them about the early days of Camp Evergreen. I never tire of hearing how our camp was built up by so many of these people - their commitment, their love of the younger generations, and the vision for this place that is as strong, if not stronger, now than it even was then.

The next time I'll blog it's going to be June...JUNE! Can you even believe it?!? Keep an eye out for some events that are coming up. Like the next two Hotcakes for Campers Breakfasts in Lethbridge (this weekend) and Edmonton (June 4th), Father and Son Retreat the following weekend and our AGM/Open House coming up on June 25th.

Until June,
Jogee
