We are working away in the office.... Hard to believe it's already February (well tomorrow...). There is a lot coming up in the office this month which means a lot of busy weekends! Refresh is still on for this Saturday, and we are so looking forward to seeing a lot of you! The weekend after that all the full time staff are taking off to Snowflake, a retreat in Niagara falls working hard, promoting camp, and hanging out with over 900 teenagers! The following weekend is coming up on the Today's Teens Conferece at The Meeting House in Oakville (which you are all invited too by the way). It's a conference for youth, youth leaders, and parents of youth, with a ton of great speakers, sessions, concert Saturday night and 500+youth! Miniyowe will have a booth set up along with a ton of other camps so check it out! Hope all of you are relaxing or heading back into second semester after finals. Take care. We are thinking about you here at the office. See you Saturday!

Well we are back in the swing of things here at the office. We started back after New Year's and are already gearing up for summer! Last week we braved the rain storm turn snow storm turn fog, and headed up north for some fun, fellowship and meetings with the directors and staff at camp. We had a great time talking about visions for this summer, where are hearts are at, and learning funny interesting facts about each staff member. Now we are back at the office, going through applications that are beginning to trickle in, Enterprise, LIT, and Staff. We look forward to reading them (and I have the priviledge of getting excited whenever I go to get the mail and there is 1 there... or 5 as the case was today!) As we begin to focus entirely on the summer, hopefully you can begin to think a little about where you see yourself this year, and hopefully that includes camp! Good luck on finals and papers and all that January entails, and drop us a line sometime to let us know how you are doing. We love hearing from you guys! Over and out : )

Hello staff and welcome to 2008!! A while back we wrote a note about the staff incentive for this summer, asking you to get your applications in by February 28 if you wanted the staff incentive. Well, we forgot it was a leap year... so February 29 it is! Hope you had great holidays and time with family and friends over Christmas, and now maybe thinking about this summer and camp! So as a retraction to our first note remember February 29th. Happy New year!
