The quiet fall months are behind us now, and my days of sitting in the office with no one to chat camp with are over for this year - as the 2010 Coordinating Teams begin to take shape.  The head coordinators for all three camps are hired!  These three coordinators are now turning their attention to hiring the assistant coordinators and then each team will start reviewing the staff applications.

The coordinators have a lot of work to do in the next couple months.  They recieve all the staff applications and then set up interviews with anyone who they think might contribute to making camp the best place on earth!  Often, the applicants are located in a city other than the where the coordinators are, which means that we have to get creative in the interview process.  Most people from out of town are now being interviewed by video skype.  The coordinators are starting to get more creative in their approach as well - I think they are going to be asking applicants to wear a costume or present a game during their interview!

We are very fortunate this year in that we have a coop student, Heather,  who is going to help us find more campers!  Heather is going to be sending posters, emails and making phone calls to school districts and other community organizations to let them know about the awesome opportunity of camp!  We know that camp makes a huge difference in kids lives so we want to reach as many kids as possible!  Let us know if you have any ideas or contacts of people we should get in touch with!

Stayed tuned for the next blog posting - I hope to be able to tell you the names of all the coordinators in the next couple weeks!
