Weekly Update #1 - Farm & Wilderness

Written by Kory Mathis | July 10, 2009

Hello everyone, and welcome to the FC blog. This is my first update since the summer actually got going, so for some of you this may be your first visit. Feel free to take a moment to look around, read about me, FC and everything we’ve done in the past.

Really the point of this post is to share with you the names of our recently named Flying Cloud campers. Last night was the first Naming Ceremony of 2009, and we had something like 250 people there! It was great fun! We played games, sang songs and danced the night away. In the midst of all that, Forge Song, Alpine Iris, Starfall Hunter, Elk Stands, Daybreak Heron, Heartwood Visions and Wind Harvester were all named. Please join me in welcoming them into our community.

I’ll be adding more photos to the private “parents only” section of the website soon, but for now I just wanted to let you know that your sons are doing a great job of keeping me on my toes!

Before I go, I also wanted to say with no small amount of pride that this summer is going fantastically well. We’ve got a wonderful crew of campers, and our staff are great too. We’ve got a lot of returning counselors, none of our support staff are new and despite the rainy weather spirits are high throughout the clearing. Actually, there is one staff member who’s a little out of control, but we try to keep him locked up in the food shelter mostly. 😉
