Well camp is over and most campers are back in school, and the staff have all gotten back into the routine of school or work, and this weekend Fall begins with the Autumnal Equinox on Saturday. If you are having a little camp withdrawl, no worries. The video skill track videos are now up on YouTube, and you can see them here. And we are getting the summer’s photos up on Shutterfly as well.

While the summer of 2012 is still several months away, we are working on getting the dates set for next summer. We will be getting those dates and sessions posted on the website and out to you in early October. We will be adding a Counselor in Training program in 2012 so those of you who were Teen Leaders this summer can come back and spend another summer with us and get training to apply to be a staff in 2013. We are also expanding the Teen Adventure program to offer a wider variety of trips.

And as we move away from the summer of 2011 and closer to the summer of 2012, I have a question for you to ponder in the spirit of keeping the energy of summer going year round. How has camp helped you become who you are, and how can you bring camp into your daily life? Have fun exploring those answers and if you feel like sharing, send us an email at santamaria@ymcabv.org.
