Good Times Ahead

Well, this may not be as exciting as the iPad news Apple had today, but this is my announcement from my MacBook Pro for January 27th 2010.


+Finished up a weekend of two youth groups and getting ready for another youth group for this weekend. Not too much planning on our part. Mostly just being there for them and keep the facilities going for them.

+As the internship goes into phase two, we are going to be released off our leash and into a more free state of work. Being placed into different areas and creating our own work schedule is only the start of what we know about what is going to happen. My position until the summer goes into full swing will be interacting and taking on tasks from the program department. This means planning events, the summer, and all the small details that go into the events side of camping.

+SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE! For many, it is still about 4 or so months out. For us, it is a reality that hits as soon as summer ends. Our thinking never stops. Theme is set. T-shirt/banner design in the works. Curriculum is in the brainstorming and sharing phase. Lots to do, and lots of fun.


Not much else to say. So, may I bid you all goodbye... and have a great day... or is it good evening?

Short Update

Another weekend down, and another weekend begins. A usual weekend for many of you starts Friday night and goes till Sunday night. For me, the weekend is one of my busiest times. Friday is prepare for the group. And depending on the group, Saturday or Sunday is the wrap-up. Sunday afternoon-Monday night is my weekend. The Tuesday is back to the grind. So as for today... making Pizza and getting the salad ready is my job for the day. Then serve a group of teens ranging from 105-150. That would mean a lot of pizza! Recap on Tuesday...

p.s.- new update letter out soon!

I'm Back

Sorry it has been so long. Took a break back home, and now I back to the swing of things here at Victory. I landed around 4pm AK time, and hung around town to pick up another intern, so my return to camp didn't happen till 3am. And with a little sleep, I was back to work. We have a men's group in, and my primary job for the weekend is cleaning dishes and cabins. As events go on, I will be updating you more often. And I will do my best to post more photos and some videos as they come along. Well, off to breakfast.
