Happy November!

Why hello there, campers and counselors and camp friends and people in general.



Happy November.




And, yes, I do hear all of you summer-folks replying, "Happy November? Happy November. What's happy about it? November is when it starts to get cold. Not just chilly-little-brisk-autumnal-fall-wear-a-light-jacket cold, but cold cold.  November is when it starts to get dark! Dark in the morning,dark in the evening, dark in the later afternoon, dark all the time. November is when winter starts, so what exactly is so happy about it! Huh!?" 



And I understand. I hear you. I hear you because you're me.




But then I'd reply back to you (or me. or us), "Hey! Look on the sunny side!" (Even though you won't have much very daylight this month to look on that sunny side. November Zing.)

Look on the sunny side!

November means there's all sorts of exciting Camp stuff just a month away!



What kind of stuff?

Stuff like our SECOND ANNUAL WINTER GATHERING. 

Held SATURDAY DECEMBER 5th, this is an afternoon reunion for all Summer Camp campers. We'll have wintry activities, seasonal crafts, a tree lighting ceremony, and best of all a chance to catch up around the fire with all your ol' Camp friends. 

So save the date! Come on up to Camp. It'll be fun.

This is a picture of last year's Winter Gathering. Not this year's Winter Gathering. Because I don't have a camera that takes pictures of the future. 


And Winter Gathering leads us to more exciting stuff! Cause Winter Gathering marks the beginning of registration for Summer 2016!

Wha-aat!

Already!? 

Didn't we just get done with Summer 2015 like 2 1/2 months ago? 

Yes, we sure did. But now it's time to build toward Summer 2016. Cause that's how the passage of time works.

And in just one month our POLAR BEAR REGISTRATION will be open! This is a time just for our returning campers to sign up early and first so they get first picks on classes, first picks on sessions, and the lowest rate we offer. 



And the final exciting stuff, is that if the Winter Gathering in a month, and then that means that Polar Bear Registration is in a month, then THAT means that it's time to start announcing news for 2016...right now!

Right now? Right now!

What kind of news? News like dates! News like THEMES! New like NEW CLASSES! News...like the BIG NEWS. 

There's big news?

That's right, there's BIG NEWS.

And the time to announce it, cause it's November is...right now.

And by right now, I mean...soon. We'll announce the big news soon. I know I said "right now." Several times. Misdirection. Cause instead it's gonna be soon.

That's called "building suspense." (Or being "kind of annoying." It's a fine line.)

So SOON look for a post on this here blog titled something like "Big News", cause it's gonna contain (you guessed it)...BIG NEWS.

See! November ain't all bad.

Except the part when I just made everyone wait for the big news. That's still pretty bad.
