Why hello there! It’s been awhile! Thanks for stopping by.
I’ve just returned from the Alberta Camping Association’s (check out albertacamping.com to see what they are all about) annual conference and I’m feeling re-energized about camp and the busy season ahead. One thing that was talked about was blogging (yes we managed to escape from laser tag and recreating famous paintings long enough to actually get down to business). I’ll admit I’ve failed at blogging in the past. However I’m hoping that if I start and get into the habit before busy season, it will be a bit easier to handle in between capture the flag and campfires.
So why should you be interested in Camp Encounter’s blog? Well I have a few reasons.
Parents-wouldn’t it be great to have a sneak peak into your kids week at camp WHILE they are still there? Or how about learning more about the staff you are sending your kids off to for the week? We can also give you testimonials from real parents who sent their kids to camp and why it changed their kid’s life or who can answer questions about some of your fears.
Alumni-learn more about how you can stay involved with camp. See how camp has changed through the years or see how so much of what you loved is still the same.
Staff- get a chance to guest blog or help a camper to guest blog. Get assess to resources to help you become a better staff. Share your story on what camp has meant to you.
And many many more!
So this is my promise to you. I will blog more. Or find someone to blog. But I need your help to. I need you to read. I need you to comment. I need you to share. I’m also going to attempt posting a weekly or bi-monthly feature of a member of our community. This might be a staff member, super parent, camper, counselor, or volunteer. I need you to nominate someone to be featured. I’m also looking for guest bloggers. So if writing is your thing (or even if it’s not), please let me know.
I hope this works and becomes a useful tool for our community, because we have a beautiful and diverse one.
Yours in Christ,
