Mock Rawk 2009

2701’s Mock Rawk (Hosted by Camp Hammer) was incredible!  So much energy, so many great acts, so much FUN.  It gets us really excited for summer!  The students really pulled out the stops and their acts showed it!  The event grew substantially since last year!  Almost 2 to 3 times more people showed up to watch the madness this year.  We raffled off some really great prizes too!  Four people walked away with a new Camp Hammer sweatshirt, and one lucky person won a FREE week to Camp!  It was a night for the history books.

March 28th Work Day

Also, on March 28th, several men from all over Santa Cruz County partnered with Camp Hammer and helped with some really incredible projects.  From bridges to retaining walls, people were working hard to improve Camp for all you campers that will be there this summer.  It is an incredible thing what can happen when people get together and show their passion for Camp.

Build His Kingdom

And their are still plenty of opportunities to help if you want to get involved.  During the week of May 11th – May 16th, we are having more work days, and we will be working on several different projects including building the set for this years theme, as well as the finishing touches on some of the projects that were started this past weekend.  Thanks for all your support, and if you haven’t registered yourself, or your child for Camp this summer, don’t wait any longer!  Spots are going fast, and you don’t want to miss out on the amazing things we have planned for this summer.

For more information call our offices at (831) 338-3200 or email us at info@camphammer.com!

Love,

Camp Hammer Staff

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.
