So the picnic tables may still frost up and the campfire may be covered in snow but spring is in the air…
Welcome to the Camp Ministries portion to our revamped site!
This is where I am hoping to gather all of us misunderstood Anglican Camp people. So if you work at a camp or have ever attended one, sit back and feel at home! This is where you will find all things camp!
And hey! As much as I'm sure you would love to only read about my experiences and my camp(s) I would love to hear from you! Write me a story, share some great ideas or ask others for advice… heck, glue some pine cones together in a manner that describes how you feel about your camp and I'll post your deep and complex expression here for the world to interpret!
Some of the topics I'd love to feature are: hiring staff, spirituality and worship, marketing, training and development, camping philosophies, stories and photos. So, whether your experience(s) is of a full summer, one week, or weekend camp drop me a line and let me know what your camp is up to.
Former staff gather around a winter bonfire to recall stories and sing songs in hopes of another amazing summer on the horizon…
To start things off I would love to hear about what you do as campers, as staff, as directors, etc. to stay connected throughout the year.
Talk to you soon!
