Let the Registration Begin!

 

This coming week the 2012 summer brochure will be mailed to roughly 13,000 homes.  WOW! That means summer registration is upon us.  If you are wondering how to register for summer camp just follow these few simple steps.

 

1.        Either print the registration form from the Twin Pines website, or use the one included in the brochure that arrives in the mail this week. (If you don’t receive the one in the mail let us know and we will be happy to mail one to you.)

 

2.       Be sure to fill out the form completely and then mail it back to Twin Pines with the deposit.  If you do this before April 30th you will receive a $15.00 discount.

 

3.       The last step is EASY!  All you do is wait for your confirmation letter from Twin Pines.  This letter should arrive in about two weeks.

 

Make sure you get your registrations in early to assure a spot in your favorite camp!

 

We can’t wait to get your registration for a great summer.  The schedule has been rearranged slightly to allow more space for more campers and even a new program or two!

Why in the World Attend Summer Camp?

I was trying to write a blog post about why kids should come to summer camp and I was drawing a complete blank.  So I went on to another project which had me looking through files that had been passed along to me by Rev. Jim Shields, my mentor and the previous director of Twin Pines, and I came across this article he had written.  I read the article and then took his advice and didn't try to reinvent the wheel.  I am posting his article as part of this blog.  Read the article, then SEND YOUR KIDS TO CAMP!

Who do campers remember?  Who do they talk about on the ride home? Who is it that has the greatest impact on campers at camp?  It€™s not program staff, or the nurse, not even the Executive Director!

Take Time to Enjoy!

 

Recently my oldest son Cole and I were reading a book about nature and the author wrote about how during the winter you can often hear sounds in nature better than any other time of the year.  He went on to say there are several reasons for this phenomenon:

Give, Serve, Love

 

The past few weeks I have been listening to Christmas music and really enjoying the great Christmas music app I found on my Ipod.  They play a nice mix of older songs, newer songs, fun songs, and some really good Christmas classics.  One of the songs that I heard just yesterday

Transitions

 

This week began a transition for Twin Pines.  Candace Sweigart started her training to become the Guest Services Coordinator at Twin Pines.  Jill Matarazzi will spend the month of December training Candace and then she will be moving back to Palmyra, Pennsylvania where she will be getting married in the spring. 

 

As Candace gets started as the Guest Services Coordinator please keep her in your prayers. 

 

This transition has me thinking about all the transitions I have seen in my own life.  There have been transitions with school, then employment, getting married(definitely one of my favorite transitions), moving, and even on occasion transition in friendships.
