(Friday, 30 July 2010) It’s tradition for our paid summer staff to dress up and go out for dinner together. This year we decided to stay at Sky Lake and have hors d'oeuvres on the boathouse.

268.365 (Driveway Sunset)

267.365 (Chasing Geese)
(Sunday, 25 July 2010) While they are Canada Geese are beautiful birds, they also happen to be prolific poopers. Needless to say, we’ve done a lot of chasing of Canada Geese this summer at camp.

254.365 (The Bubble)
(Monday, 12 July 2010) A bubble on the juice machine in Founders’ Lodge, which a few campers thought I should photograph. Who am I to let campers down?

247.365 (General Hospital)

241.365 (Hunger)
(Tuesday, 29 June 2010) There was a nest full of baby birds in the rafters of our ore house. My identification skills are not the best, but I’m thinking these might be phoebes.

(Monday, 28 June 2010) One of our camp nurses, Judy, enjoying a visit from her granddaughter.
239.365 (And We're Off)

238.365 (A New Computer)
(Saturday, 26 June 2010) Unpacked the new computer that arrived this week. Unfortunately I spent twenty minutes on the phone with Dell trying to figure out why the monitor stand wouldn’t budge. Finally figured it out, though.
26//52 (Saturday Footwear)
(Saturday, 26 June 2010) We have a closed-toe shoe policy at camp, so Saturdays are about the only time I ever wear flip-flops or sandals.
237.365 (Mini Golfing)
(Friday, 25 June 2010) Went mini golfing with a bunch of the staff after we finished up our training. Liz took the game very seriously.

233.365 (The Essentials)
(Monday, 21 June 2010) Got so busy leading training I almost forgot to take a picture today. No self-respecting staff training would be complete without a few packs of Crayola markers!

(Friday, 18 June 2010) The six United Methodist camps in Upstate New York were asked to care for hospitality for the Uniting Conference of the Upper New York Annual Conference. Camp Casowasco hosted a bunch of us Friday night so we didn’t have to travel as far early Saturday morning.
