Alright Camp Hammer Family.  2009 is here!  You know what that means.  Summer preparations have begun!  This is a great time of year up at Camp.  We are all gearing up for the spring and have started the initial steps to planning a great summer.  The Directors will be traveling around in the next 2 months to begin recruiting staff for the summer of 2009.  If you are interested in working at Camp this summer, check out our application on the website (camphammer.com).  We will be in the Northwest from Jan. 19th – 24th, and down in Southern California from Feb. 8th – 14th.

At camp we are working hard to improve the facilities and create some really great things for Summer 2009.  Josh Dunton aka “Auger,” has completely transformed the upper basketball court into a great hang out area with benches and even some stadium seating.  It’s amazing what someone can do with a little bit of wood, and some hard work!  It’s going to be the hottest spot at Camp!

Registration opens this week so whether you are a parent looking to sign your child up, or a camper ready to sign up, make sure you do it as soon as possible, so you don’t miss out!  Keep checking back on the website for some really great new additions.  Watch for a new “History” page with old pictures and some historical facts about Camp Hammer.  Also, watch for our brand new promo video which will be on the main page any day.  We are putting some finishing touches on it, and then it will be ready to view.  Lastly, the Camp Hammer blog will be updated each week from here on out, so be sure to check back!  We look forward to seeing you this summer, and we have realized that the best advertisment is word of mouth, so if you have experienced Camp Hammer, tell your friends, and share the experience with them as well!  See you in a few months.

Well summer has ended and the Fall is in full swing. What are we doing at Camp Hammer? Well, things haven’t slowed down yet. Our year round staff is hard at work with Weekend retreat groups and Future Life Retreats. The summer of 2008 was one like no other. We had a pond with funoeing, rope swings, zip lines, theatrical night games, caring counselors, amazing campers, and all of this in the middle of the Redwoods. If you are reading this and you came as a camper this summer, we hope school is going well, and we look forward to seeing you again in the summer of 2009. If you worked here or had a child come through this summer, or your just checking us out, we hope that you too have found a sense of God’s peace in this fall season. Many Blessings!
