We used to play a game in the Glen Mhor online forum called "Spot the Staffy". If you have photos of any random camp staff encounters, please send them along (taps@ilovecamp.org) and we'll continue the game here on the front page of the camp website.
Look who Matchy and I ran into at Snow Jam...
Heeckan was there with some youth from St. John's Church in Toronto. Cheers, who is just visible at the right-side of the photo, was also at Snow Jam.
Every so often, parents and campers take the time to write us letters about the effect camp has had on their lives. We feel so lucky to get these messages, and so fortunate to be able to have a positive impact on the lives of our campers! Here are 3 quick messages we've received lately...
1. Our daughter loves Glen Mhor more than words can say. She is shy but camp brings out all the best in her and she shines in the singing and dancing and crafting and and and!!!! She has convinced her best friend to join her this year. Our daughter's goal is to work at Glen Mhor some day so put her to work now!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
2. Our daughter is extremely shy but camp is so good for her. It lights her up and she comes out of her shell!!! She wants to work there in the future. Last summer she missed Glen Mhor because she spent the whole summer in India building a school. We are so proud of her. Even though she is shy, she will get something in her mind that is important to her, and nothing will stop her. I hope you continue to inspire this in her! Thank you!!!!!!!!
3. Our daughter comes home singing her heart out and I love music so much that I have her teach me all the songs. I use them both at school (teacher) and at church (choir leader for small children). This past sunday we performed "If You Love Jesus" as the finale to our love medley. It was awesome! Thank you for your positive influence!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kristen Draper, one of our campers at Glen Mhor, won 2nd Place in the Novice Women's Giant Slalom Event at Talisman Ski Resort. This was a Special Olympics Regional Qualifying Race, and Kristen and her family are thrilled with her accomplishments!
Congratulations, Kristen!
Cairn has a nice, long piece in the February edition of the Presbyterian Record.
It features parts of an interview with Topaz, and talks about the important role that camp has in introducing children to God.
Check it out! Your local church should have a copy...
