350 Registrations!!!

Goooooooood Morning Camp McGovern!

As of Monday, we hit 350 registrations for the summer! The weeks are filling up and every day as we pull together the count, Lino, Twist, Spinach, and I get chills at the amazing amount of campers that we will have this summer. We can't wait to see returning campers again and meet those new campers who will bring their own smiles and brilliance to the #McGovernMagic. 

We've been trying to beat the June heat as we work, but Linoleum still wears his onesie every evening despite Spinach and I searching out air conditioning to cool ourselves down. Spinach has been planning the summer programs and yesterday we were brainstorming different names for areas at camp to go along with the themes (see if you can guess what she's cooking up for your week at camp!).  

The staff team has also had some exciting news as we hired our second nursing student this week. The team is pretty much complete now, but we'll also have some volunteers and friendly faces coming later this summer as well. We're going to have to name 21 new friends this year. That is. A. Lot. What a task!

Staff week is usually a giant sleepover with everybody in the camper cabins and no doubt we're going to fill up a few. Does anybody have a favourite cabin or bunk? Mine is in the front of Knobhill, from the many weeks I've spent in that cabin with an array of co-counsellors. I'm sure Mosaic feels the same way! :)

If don't know what to pack, don't worry! There will be an email sent to all the families who registered soon. The staff get a packing list, too, and I'm trying to figure out how many tie-dyed t-shirts can fit in one cabin. I also said I'd write my friends back home some letters, so I better get myself some stamps and fill up my letter box with supplies! Thankfully Nightwing, who is my snail-mail buddy, will be living two steps from me all summer. Are you going to send letters about your camp adventures this summer? Maybe we can write together during chill time. 

There are 26 days until campers arrive. Lino and Twist pick up the camp phone all day in the office so that we can get all the registrations finished, details polished, and camp ready. Try to guess how many registrations we'll have next week!

See you so, so soon, McGovern Family!
