Who is getting excited about camp? I know we are! And this week, we'd like for you to meet Ciwara, the Day Camp Director, who has just completed school and is now in the office!
As you may have read in our last posting, there was an adventure a foot. Sassy, Pickle, Jellyfish, and Vista were out on a fabulous adventure scouting for Travel Camp! On that trip, I was very excited to see, experience, and learn things that I haven't yet learned. The Sassy Pickled Jellyfish's adventure from before ended in Santa Cruz in the previous post. The following day, we were going to check out the famous Santa Cruz Pier. However, after watching the news that evening we learned that the latest American Idol castoff was going to be at the Pier and we decided to vacate and begin to move back up North.
In the following days, we spent time looking for fun things to do and places to stay. There were many beautiful wildlife and trees when we got closer to Redding. One of the best parts was searching out all of the little tourist "traps" between San Francisco and Portland! Oh, we also got to pet and feed baby lions and tigers!
Excited about that trip now? Call Sassy to see if there are more spots available.
This week, we are not adventuring on the road anymore, but here in the downtown office. We are working hard to get everything ready for camp: staff training, teen program, American Camp Association standards (we are accredited by the ACA, choosing to adhere to over 200 standards), day camp, health forms, and more!
Our staff are even working hard to be ready for camp. They are all participating in a virtual online training course, with videos from camp professionals!
OH, I ALMOST FORGOT! One of the most important and exciting events (besides the actual camp sessions), is the JUMP Fundraiser! Do you like to jump? Do you like to watch others jump? Do you wish you had a giant trampoline? Or, maybe you just wish you could meet some of the camp staff.... WELL, this JUMP event is the time to do it! Camp Westwind has rented the whole trampoline arena at Sky High Sports!
