Hello hello hello!
I miss you all!
First, I just want to toss up a couple of fun photos from Ice Cutting.
What a weekend it was! We had tons of people (more than two hundred were at dinner on Saturday night), great weather for working, and lots of good times. I’m happy to say that the Ice Mines are full and ready for camp to start. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed their time and energy to helping Flying Cloud. I always like to recognize that FC really couldn’t enjoy every summer without all the hard work people outside the clearing do to help us.
As we approach camp nearly all the lodges are full. We’ve got a great crew of returning campers and staff, and as always, if you have a friend who you think would just love life at the Cloud, encourage them to sign up now! We still have a few more bunk spaces and it would be sad to think that anyone who could be at FC missed that opportunity because they didn’t know about it! As always, campers and families are our best ambassadors, so get out there and spread the good word.
For this summer, we have a pretty amazing crew of returning staff. As the list grows, I’ll be sure to update it here, so check back often!
Striding Ash will be back as Assistant Director.
Sun Panther Gives will be there making sure we have everything we need, and planning trips.
Forest Flame will be doing his first summer as the Sensible Health Person.
So far we have a great crew of lodge staff, led by Tends the Grove, River Sways and Spring Rhythm, plus former campers Glowing Waters and Squirrel Moon putting in their first summers on staff. We also have three new guys: Elliot, Sam and Joe. Be sure to give them a hearty FC welcome when you meet them. Welcome aboard everyone!
Just like usual, feel free to get in touch with me whenever you want. I’m always happy to hear from Flying Clouders! It’s shaping up to be quite a summer, and I can’t wait to see you there. We’ve got lots of new campers, a new Crafts Lodge, and I’ve learned a few really funny new games we’ve got to try! Be sure to check back here regularly through the spring and summer, since I’ll be updating this page more and more as we get into the swing of things.
Thinking about you and another great summer at Flying Cloud,
Peace,
