One thing that signifies kamp is near and our gates are preparing to open is the beautiful spring weather that appears in the Ozarks. Around mid April, everyone wants to get outside and look at the blooming Dogwoods. It's gorgeous. Another key piece signaling summer is when our neighborhoods start to be dotted by ENO Hammocks, which make for perfect lazy afternoon naps (and help work on your base tan for those hot July days on the courts).
Today I caught my Golden Retriever Jake peeking out of my hammock in the back yard behind our home. Okay, maybe he didn't just "get there" on his own, but after I set it up for a quick lunch break, I figured he should be able to jump in with me...and he did!
As school starts to come to a close and kamp starts to ramp up with activity, we have so much to look forward to as the 2011 summer gets set. In just a little over 7 weeks, the first buses will roll in the front gates with screaming kids who can't wait to blob, water slide, and wake board.
If you are a parent, know that we have some exciting things for you to see this year via a whole new social media program (new blogs, web tools, twitter, and other fun photo programs). If you are staff, get out those trunks and dust 'em off...you will need them soon. If you are a kamper, think about setting up a hammock in your backyard and do some homework. It will get you in the kamp mood and help you finish your school year strong.
Waiting eagerly and counting the days....
