It's over already?
The summer is not over yet but it is time for us to start thinking about September and the months beyond. Here is the first opportunity for you, your friends, and/or your family can rid yourself of any camp withdrawal post-summer months - Fall Work Weekend.
Our Fall Work Weekend is happening September 18-20th. This one is of particular importance because Diocesan Council (the group of people from the Diocese of BC that make big decisions) will be meeting at camp the weekend of October 2-4th. This is great as many of the people on Diocesan Council have never been to camp and we want to put our best foot forward. With that said, there will be a lot of cleaning, grooming, landscaping, painting, etc. We need YOUR help!
Our Christmas Youth Retreat is happening December 11-13th. The cost is $75 if you register before October 31st and $85 if you register afterwards. There is no requirement for you to bring a youth leader with you this year. As with all of the other years, registration has filled up quick and our spaces our limited! Speak to your youth leader about being the first to register 10 kids and get the St. Columba special. The theme will be "Heroes and Champions" but you'll actually have to be here to see what that's all about.
We have more things happening with camp all the time. Check out our upcoming events to find the latest.

"I LOVED EVERYTHING"
...has been written on many of the camper's evaluations after their week at camp and we're not even halfway through. With Girls' Camp and Boys Wilderness Camps coming to a close, we also look forward to the next couple of weeks with a jam packed Teen Camp, Family Camp, and Act Up Theatre Camp.
With campers stretching their faces to catch the marshmellow to the campers screaming their lungs off as they go tubing, I'm happy to report that our summer has been a blast thus far. A few snippets of things to enjoy if you haven't yet made it here this summer are the "Asian Sensation Dinner"
(image has been blurred to protect staff identities, but really...we still know who they are!)
to our inaugural 5+ year camper awards:
Kaitlynd (left) and Nicole (right)
you're guaranteed to enjoy what summer 2009 has to offer. There are still spaces in 7s 8s 9s, Sr. Coed #2, as well as Mini Adventures #1. Don't forget if you're looking to earn some valuable leadership experience we have our one week Crew program and three week Leader In Training program starting August 2nd. We hope to see you all here! Have a great rest of the summer everyone.

2 FEATURE VOLUNTEERS
You might remember Kevin Carrigan and Suzanne Vander Wekken. They are coming to volunteer this summer and be a part of our awesome camp programs.
"Hello everyone! If you were around in summer 2007 you may remember me as I was the program director. This summer I am coming back especially to be a speaker for Girls Camp, which in my experience is hands down the greatest camp of the summer! I am excited to get to know all of you who are going to be there.
As a speaker I am especially looking forward to sharing with you some of my stories and things I have learned about God, His unbeatable love and how we can get to know Him in our day to day lives. Hopefully you will have some good questions and stories you can share with me too!
In the meantime, just a bit about me...I have just finished my degree in Recreation & Heath Education and am working on a Healthy Eating project at the University of Victoria. My favorite pastimes are talking with my friends, cycling, travelling (in this picture I am in Guatemala), eating chocolate, and taking photos of people having fun...so watch out for me behind a camera! See all you amigas in July! Suzanne aka Miss Pixie"
"I was the Program Director in 2006 and I love camp and the highlight of every summer for me is when I get to go to camp! I grew up in the suburbs of Vancouver and moved to "The Island" a few years ago. When I'm not at camp, you can find me in Duncan where I work at a church doing youth and music stuff. At teen camp this summer, we'll be having a blast playing wacky games, going tubing on the boat, and getting up to all sorts of chaos and fun!
As well, we'll be chatting about life and what it's all about. We'll be laughing, watching videos, and interacting with each other as we discuss the issues that are important to us as teenagers and young adults. I hope you'll plan on coming to teen camp this summer because it's going to be a blast! See you there!!! Kevin aka Slurpee"
