You ever wake up to a nagging feeling that you

forgot something? You used every memory device

you know; a string around the finger, notes on the

bathroom mirror, ink on

your palm But there is still

this voice in the back of

your mind telling you there

is something really

important you forgot to

do Oh yeah, REGISTER

FOR CAMP DURING EARLY

BIRD! Argh! As you went

through the hustle and

bustle of the day, you

forgot to register your child

for summer camp before

Early Bird ended. So, what now? Ill tell you what;you can still register for summer camp! While you

may not pay the same rate as in Early Bird, lets

take a moment to reflect on all the ways summer

camp will help your child grow: confidence, social

skills, new friendships, self-

esteem, leadership skills,

adventure and exploration

opportunities, ability to make

good choices, teamwork and

collaboration, social and

cultural awareness,

development of emotional

intelligence, appreciation for

nature, and most important, an

appreciation for YOU! We

can all agree that these

benefits are priceless!! So

dont delay, sign up for summer camp today!

Missed Early Bird? So, What Now?

My name is Grevling, and I am going

to be the Program Director this

1st on the admin team. Although I

am from Brevard, I'm currently

living in London and volunteering at

one of the Guiding and Scouting

World Centres - Pax Lodge. My

favorite things to do are read and

play Quidditch, which, as many

campers will know, is obviously the

best sport ever. I am really looking

forward to making this year unique and

amazing, and I hope you're all excited too!
