I've worked at camp for a long time, but I've never stayed in Muskoka during October before...it's gorgeous up here. The leaves are a riot of different colours, and the air smells clean and sweet every morning. It's hard to imagine a more beautiful setting.
I wanted to say a quick "thank you" to the guys who helped with the Clean-up Weekend at camp. Zoic, Blox, Aloe, Peche, Heeckan, Arlo and Bocca all gave up their weekend to come to camp and put things away. We took out the Glen Mhor swimming docks, the jumping dock, the canoe docks, all the kayaks and paddles and all the canoes. It was a rainy, windy and cold weekend, but it was also really fun to work with a great group of guys. Clean-up Weekend is just one of the projects it would be impossible to accomplish without our alumni and volunteers.
Over the next few months, we are hoping to start a Volunteer Committee with alumni and friends. These people will take responsibility for some projects throughout the year, and will be an invaluable source of support for us at Cairn. The Synod Camp Board is eager to strengthen our ties with alumni and volunteers, and this is one way we hope to do that.
If you are interested in supporting camp through the Volunteer Committee, we are looking for people with skills, expertise and dedication. With camp being such a huge operation, it is essential that we have know-how and helping hands with everything from construction to computers to fundraising to organization. Please send me an e-mail (taps@ilovecamp.org) if you are interested in helping, and we'll add you to the list. Don't forget to include a list of some skills or expertise that you can offer...it will help us use you best!
