staff training!

Hi everyone, it's Tapper blogging again. We are getting even more busy in these few short weeks heading up to camp. Our biggest task is getting our counselor staff trained and ready to have fun with our awesome campers. In the next couple of weeks our 2008 counselors will be gathering at camp to learn all of the things they need to know to help you all have the best summer possible.
We teach our staff games, songs, where things are in camp, how to keep our campers safe, and even things like how to go about making a lunch for a girl who may have forgotten hers. We give our staff a chance to work through multiple situations that they may encounter during the camp day so that when you all arrive this summer they are ready and prepared for a fantastic week of camp.
Something else we are working on are our plans for Hannah Montana Week (Week 5) and High School Musical 2 Week (Week 6). Any campers who were around last summer know about the fantastic performance we put together for the camp for our Friday afternoon event during our High School Musical Week. We are hoping the performances we put together for this year will surpass even what we did last year. Look to the blog for more details on these events! If are interested in participating make sure you attend camp during one of those weeks this summer, it is sure to be a blast!
Next time I blog I will post some insider information on our 3 Night Stay during Week 7 at Camp Sacajawea. Fourth Graders and up are welcome in this program and I will be one of your counselors in this first ever sleepover program. I am looking forward to this week very much and I hope even more girls will sign up.

Till next time!

Tapper reporting!

Hi everyone! This is Tapper blogging for the first time on Camp Sacajawea's official blog! I just wanted to take a moment to tell all 2008 campers and families, new and old, about some of the things that your camp staff has been working on for the 2008 camp season. Camp doesn't end the final day of Week 10 in August; we keep talking, creating, meeting, and preparing through the entire school year. Now, with only a couple of weeks left until camp we are in overdrive!

Here are a couple of new things to look forward to this year at camp:

• Camp Sacajawea water bottles instead of cups.
• New camper t-shirts.
• Lots of brand new camp clothing (shirts, sweatshirts, pj pants) available at the Trading Post.
• New Girl Choice activities.
• New themes.
  
• New counselors to help our campers have the best summer possible.
• And of course new FRIENDS!

Some of our camp staff also went on a trip to the ACA Tri-State Camp Conference in March. We spent 3 days going to workshops to learn all sorts of new information and fun for camp. Our counselors are looking forward to teaching our wonderful campers the new games and songs we learned! We also got a chance to walk through the vendor hall and we picked out lots of new things for the trading post and arts and crafts. We even got a taste of some of the new ice cream we will be selling at the Trading Post.

As I'm sure you can tell, we've been very busy all year preparing for your arrival at Camp Sacajawea this summer. If you are interested in seeing our facilities and trying some of our activities before you arrive at camp this summer, please come to our next Open House on Sunday, May 18th from 1-4 pm.

See you in the summer,
Tapper
