Well it's been quite some time since we have updated the blog. Sorry about that! After finishing our summer up at camp, we moved back downstate but hit the ground running with the Labor Day work weekend, then Mother/Daughter weekend, and finally, our most recent event, the 3rd Annual Zoo Walk! All that to say, the month of September was pretty busy for us!
We're at the end of our fall season, which means we'll be closing up camp for the winter. It's hard to imagine camp in the middle of winter because most people see it in the summer. Everything is the same, just with lots of snow on it! (I know, I already said the "s" word!) Our site team will head up to camp in the next few weeks to winterize our buildings and clear all of the water out of our pipes so that they don't freeze and break. Hopefully next time we're up, we'll be able to take a few fall pictures of camp and post them so that everyone can see the difference when the leaves are falling!
Our 3rd Annual Zoo Walk was on September 25th. It was a beautiful day for the walk, and we had a blast! We were suprised to see so many new faces that morning, but we were grateful for all the people who invited friends and family to come along for this great fundraiser. Though we didn't reach our goal of $20,000, we still have pledge money coming in and are blessed by what people did raise through pledges and for all of the support that was given for this event. There were games (the kids loved playing the toilet paper toss), and breakfast food donated from Einsteins, Tim Hortons, Trader Joes, GFS, and Bagel & Bites. Also, we had prizes that we gave out for the top fundraiser, the person that traveled the farthest to come, the longest involved camp member, the youngest walker, and a few other prizes!
Talking about the zoo walk...if anyone is interested in buying a zoo walk t-shirt, we still have some available for $10. Let us know and we can get one to you!
I think that's about all for now. I apologize again that it has been so long since we updated, but hopefully we can improve from here on out! So check back soon!
Blessings!
