Hey Friends! I hope all is well and that you are doing well on this beautiful February day. Camp has been busy lately, and there are some amazing things going on right now! This blog will hopefully bring you up to speed on many of the highlights from the last several weeks!
The first piece of news, and in my opinion, the most exciting is that registration is up 700% from where we were at this time last year! Camps are already filling up and it is only February! Needless to say, the energy here at Camp is amazing in light of this great news. A big reason why registrations are up has to due with our 2011 Early Bird Discount. We offered $50.00 off the cost of registration to anyone registered before February 15th. Because we had such a positive response we have decided to extend an Early Bird discount of $25.00 off to campers registered before March 1st! Take full advantage of these discounts! We would love to see our registrations continue to grow over the coming months! And don’t forget, scholarships are available on a first come first serve basis, so register today!
Speaking of scholarships, we have another amazing praise story. At a meeting yesterday morning, our book keeper let us know that an amazing organization has just gifted Camp Hammer with a sizable donation to our scholarship fund! What does that mean? It means that 2011 is looking like it will be a year similar to 2009 and 2010 where we were able to give scholarships to all of the campers who needed them. We still could use the help of those who would be willing to donate, but what an amazing blessing this gift is! God is good, and this is an incredible answer to prayer!
This past weekend we had an amazing time hosting The Well Student Ministries from Fresno, California. We had all sorts of former employees and campers on the grounds and it was an amazing time of reconnecting and growing together! Some of the old staff gathered together on Saturday night and watched lots of old Cabaret videos from previous summers. Amazing memories were remembered and it truly was an incredible weekend! One last highlight from the weekend was that it SNOWED! Yes, you read right, it snowed here at Camp. What an amazing sight it was. For about an hour on Saturday morning we had sporatic snow showers, and I think the flakes were the size of golf balls! It was truly incredible.
Thanks so much for your support! We look forward to seeing you in the near future! Check back next Wednesday for the a new post!
Peace and Love.
