Welcome to Camp STIX
We shared another fantastic week in July -- thanks to all of you who were involved! We had a full camp, with many new volunteer and camper faces to add to our expanding family portrait. This year's camp theme was WORLD TOUR, and we had lots of fun with t-shirts, costumes, decorations and meal themes all reflecting different places and cultures. We had terrific guests speaking to us and entertaining us as well -- kudos to Dave Holden, from Team Type 1 (cycling), Kris Freeman from the US Olympic XC Ski team and Happy Feet (tap dancing), from Spokane! Thanks, also to Munchkin's band for entertaining us at the dance. We were delighted to share camp with Amigo, from Ecuador's Campo Amigo, and we look forward to more cultural exchanges with this camp in the future. Congratulations to the individuals who shined brightly this year as outstanding campers: Aubrey Morris and Dillon Edwards and as outstanding volunteers: Jackpot and Adrenaline (Program), Cardio (MASH), and Deep Dish (DISH). Also deserving loud cheers are Jibber Jabber, who taught us all a Flash Mob dance and motions to surprise the parents at the closing ceremony, and Carrot Cake, who organized so many wonderful craft activities for us again this year -- THANK YOU! Our directorship team was brought back by popular demand from last year, and we owe lots of gratitude to Munchkin (DISH), Capsule (Program), Levemir (Education) and Target (MASH) for their hard work, attention to a zillion details, and awesome direction of camp this year. Be sure to thank them! This year, because of flooding on the Pend Oreille River, we arrived by a detour route, and did some of our large group activities on Bear Paw's neighbor's field, but I'm so glad that we were eventually able to get our campfire back to its home spot for our STIX ceremony, at the end of the week. We're planning and hoping to move to a new and larger camp this coming year, after creating 11 years of fine memories at Bear Paw Camp -- stay tuned for details! On Saturday, August 20 (5 - 9PM), we're having a STIX 2011 Reunion Pool Party! I hope to celebrate with you there!
