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.

Summer 2010

Hello All.  Well I hope this blog finds you well on this beautiful September morning!  I walked down to the office this morning and it was already like 75 degrees outside.  Love it.  Makes it feel like summer will never end.  As I sit in my office (the Cave) some may call it, I have no choice but to daydream of next summer.  I know summer 2009 just ended, but I can’t help it!  I mean c’mon, my job is to create fun games and activities for kids to do at a Camp.  My mind is constantly going over different things we can do…even when I am not working.  It’s like a sickness, a good sickness if there is such a thing.  I am already thinking of new skits, possibilities for team comps (something with a mud-pit?), banquet themes, and even a new gag to use before night games.  Call me crazy, but I just love this place, and planning for summer.

Ok, so, I am going to abruptly change my train of thought, but just go with it!  This year, 09/10, we need to get the word out there about Camp Hammer!  If you have worked here, or come as a camper, or you just plain love this place and you follow us online (Twitter, Facebook, Blog, Website), you gotta spread the word.  Camp Hammer is like this hidden treasure…but better (that rhymed).  We are a small camp with HUGE heart.  If you have experienced Camp you know what I am talking about.  So my mission to you: tell your friends about camp.  Show them videos on our website or you-tube.  Follow our blog, and tell your friends as well!  Join the Twitter community and follow our “tweets…” Our twitter is called “CampHammerTime.”  Become a fan of Camp Hammer on Facebook!  All of these are great ways to stay connected to camp.

Also, if you are interested in submitting a reason, or story, that explains why you love Camp Hammer, send it in!  We would love to post it on our site!  You can send in entries to info@camphammer.com and just make the subject out to “Why I love Camp Hammer.”  You can send them with your name, or we can post them anonymously!  All entries will be censored for appropriateness of course!  Alright friends, we have work to do.  Enjoy this 2nd day of September!  Much Love.
