What's Happening At Camp? (updated March 27, 2011)
Ronny Dolgin, our Counselor-In-Training Director, left for Brazil and Guatamela this week. Ronny will be volunteering there for the next three months. He will be working with children between the ages of 10 months and six years old. We wish him a safe and fruitful journey!
Ten members of our 2011 Camp Eagle Ridge staff attended the Mid States Camping Conference in St. Charles, Illinois this week. Director, Kelly Byrnes, and Kitchen Facilitator, Jason Davis, spoke at the conference. This was a great opportunity for our staff to learn from the best in camping! It also gave our staff an opportunity to develop the leadership curriculum for this summer!
