We have been all over the place (quite literally) the past month with events and connecting with staff. First up was Refreshat The Freeyway in Hamilton. This was our second one for the year which brought about 40 staff out for a time of prayer, worship, food, and reconnecting. We had a great time seeing all of you and hearing what is up in your lives with school and everything else! Our second event was Snowflake, a conference for youth groups which was held in Niagara Falls where over 1000 teenagers descended on the city. We were there to serve and be staff for those running the event. Between manning the escalator, games room, and band sales table, we had an incredible opportunity to meet new people and connect with potential staff. The event itself was a great time for the students of some quality speakers, worship, snow-packed dodgeball, a talent night, etc. Finally, Today's Teens Conference. This past weekend MYW ventured to The Meeting House in Oakville for another youth conference. Again we had a great time connecting with people and showing what camp is all about. We love camp, so we love other people to see how much we love it too!! Now the conference, youth, event-filled February is coming to an end and we are excited with all the applications that have come in. This is also a reminder that you have until February 29th to apply if you want to be included in the staff incentive (it is going to be a good one!!) but you can still apply after that.

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!
