Hello again everyone, Well last week certainly blew by. You could also say that we are really blowing through this summer. Ok, enough with the bad puns. Actually, puns, unfortunately.... (well, maybe secretly I love them).... are a huge part of our culture here. A lot of puns get made in a week. Some good. Some groaners. But there are a lot of puns. But seriously, last week was insane in regards to the weather. A lot of wind. Thunder storms, rain, hail, and tornado watches were all the rage. Assistant Director Collin (Deuce), Seasonal Leader Sidney (Sully), and I watched a funnel cloud go right around the camp. No serious damage was done to the camp and all campers were well taken care of. A
Hello again everyone. I want to start off again this week by acknowledging those who have suffered loss due the storms, hail, and heavy rains we experienced last week. While Camp Chestermere was hit hard and did experience damage, we were able to at least stay open which was unfortunately not the case for some businesses on the north side of the lake.

Again know our thoughts and prayers are with you. I am happy to report that everyone here at camp is safe and we were able to open for this week. However, we did get a lit
Hello again everyone, Well, summer has begun and we are in full swing with our summer camps. I apologize for the delay in this email as I am now a week behind but I will be sure to catch people up on the amazing things that have been happening here. It's funny because a constant question I hear is, "Well, I bet with summer here you're busy now?"

Seriously, I love my job. Having the opportunity
