Summer Leadership Team 2017
Every summer it is my pleasure to work with a summer leadership team of 18-25 year old staff. Summer camp is one of the very few industries where we entrust our operations to 18 to 20-something leaders and 15-17 year old staff.

Good-bye, July
Guest Blog by Colgate By the time I came to the realization that camp had started, it was already half over. Four weeks of kids have come and gone, the fifth week in full swing.

Canada – 150 Years in the Making
Happy Canada Day!! In 1867 the Dominion of Canada came into being as an act of British Parliament and with royal assent from Her Majesty, Queen Victoria.

A Path Where No One Knew
The last 5 years have been a journey for me. One that has caused me to doubt my abilities, to find solace in God or people. So far, the medical community can only tell me what it isn’t and barely help to reduce the symptoms to manageable. Debilitating dizziness has kept me from work, from church, awayContinue reading “A Path Where No One Knew”
