Lodge Maps and Nature and Trails, Oh my!
We started our meeting today with a dance party! Quite common among the interns. Now down to business. The most fabulous and talented Antonia has 99.9% finished the LODGE FLOOR PLAN MAPS (oooooooooo ahhhhhhhhhh). For real though, they are most excellent. Antonia is putting in the super final-final details as per Crossfit Jeff’s request. Carly […]
Current Challenges in Camp Food Service Reflection
Today, in our weekly meeting with Tim, we discussed an ACA Article about Food Services, which you can read for yourself here!

Carly Goes Cromberg
About two weeks ago, Nelda and I got the privilege of traveling 5 hours to the strange, beautiful land of Cromberg where we spent the week as counselors for the lovely group of girls below. Every day was a new adventure and with it came different responsibilities. From dish duty to life guarding, from facilitating […]

Intern Adventure Time!
SAN FRANCISCO BABY. Last Saturday/Sunday, Brooke, Antonia and I (Carly is at Buckhorn Reunion down south), journeyed north to experience some of the awesomeness that is San Francisco.

Additionally, we mapped the trails with our sweet GPS SYSTEM! OH YEAAAAH! Tomorrow afternoon Nelda is escorting Brooke and I through different […]

Shipleys and Senior Highs
This week, I was fortunate enough to infiltrate Senior High Camp, helping two of my favorite people on the planet JOSH AND KATIE SHIPLEY (only caps are appropriate for my excitement!!!) with theme class. Cue joyous dance music! I assisted with a few activities and meditations and did a few prep things, but mostly I […]
Senior High Camp
And it was here…and it’s gone! The weeks are just flying by at this point! We finally started sinking our teeth into our Conceptual Project (which is the Mapping and Signage Project, btw.) And we helped run yet another camp. This is everything we did: Lynley ran a class at Senior High Camp. Brooke, Carly, […]
Camp Opportunity Week in Review
(Wrote this a little while ago, and forgot to take time to clean it up. So this is about the camp that happened 2 weeks ago!) This week as been tough! We didn’t have Carly with us so we were operating at lower capacity. But that’s ok because Carly had a great time at Camp Cromberg […]
