YRL's are having a blast!

Why does a Year Round Leader do in the cold of winter? Have tons of fun, of course! Here's a little glimpse of what it's like to be a YRL:
 
 
1. They like to play games!
 
 

2. They like to show their creative side.


3. They like to "unlock" the door to new possibilites!

 
And coolest of all...
 
4. They love giving back to their community!
 
 (That white sheet of paper is a certificate that YRL's got for helping pack over 9,000 pounds of food and other items that will be donated to communites around Washington state!)

Call Night Training

It's January, which means we are getting ready for our Annual Campaign! Starting next week, we will be making calls and sharing our love of camp with the world. Before our kick-off, we wanted to share why we give to camp, and also get some good practice in for our beautiful phone voices.



 
"Called myself up on the phone, just to hear that golden tone..."
 
 
 
 
 
 
We can't wait for Kick-Off next week to send more kids to camp!
STAY TUNED!
