In case you couldn’t tell from the new site layout, the theme this year is Sesame Street!

The registration package and full camp details will be available shortly, we’re just putting the final touches on everything. Check back for all information and the downloadable reg forms June 1st.

Hope everyone’s enjoying Skeeter … I’m missing out this year.

Victory goes to…

Pirates? Ninjas? Neither? Both? We may never know, everyone left before it was announced. Regardless, everyone seemed to have a great time this year and the weather was fantastic to boot.

The final numbers were around the 520 mark, not a record but up there! We’ll be emailing around a camper survey within a month, if you could please submit only one per group it will help us to get feedback from the campers to improve the camp for future years.

A big thank-you goes once again to the awesome staff of Mardi Gras who did an amazing job of putting the camp together over the last year. I know after clean-up takes place Monday and Tuesday, we’ll all need a month of downtime before we start to sling around the ideas for next year’s camp.

Speaking of camp themes, don’t forget to hop over to the Rovent website and submit your theme idea! Also to note, the Rovent camp dates have changed because of the Olympics in January. See their site for more details.

Thanks again to all who came out to make Mardi Gras 2009: Pirates vs. Ninjas a great success, and we’ll see you at Rainbucket!

Don’t have a shirt? No worries, we will have some brand new white T’s in varying sizes for sale onsite.

Getting Close…

Administrator — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 03:09:11 +0000

Hey campers! The MG staff have had our weekly meeting and have a couple of notes…

- For those who haven’t pre-registered, if you could please print out a registration form, complete it, and list the names of the youth (and advisors – and note which are which) on the back of the form. Also, please write your desired return ferry time on the back too. It helps us expidite registration!

- We REQUIRE that all fires be given a green light by staff BEFORE the fire is lit! We have new rules regarding the criteria for your fire container.

- If you haven’t pre-registered and plan on taking the shuttle, please email us your anticipated numbers and ferry time!

We’re all super excited and hope you’re all getting costumes and decorations!

Woodbadge Training

Administrator — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 04:33:12 +0000

For any advisors interested, once again we’ll be running WB-I training at the same time as all the camp activities.

We’ve set up a special page with all the details.

We’re less than a month away; a mere 23 more sleeps before the ninjas and the pirates gather!
