Lifeguards are preparing for a safe summer.

Many former guards renewed their certifications while others took the complete course.

Lifeguard Training at Delphi High School
We are grateful that the local high school shares their indoor pool while the Camp pools have a chance to warm up for the season.

“Coordinator Training” is the first formal summer staff training of the year.

Talking about group dynamics and good communication skills.
It is a great time to get to know each other as a leadership team and to discuss any new activities or changes.

"Goal Setting" and "Taking Care of Yourself and Others"
Each village has two age Units, with two Unit Coordinators each. Each village also has two Village Directors and an Administrative Assistant.

Ready for the challenge!

Excited to be back!
Also included in the mix are the CILT Leaders, Creative Arts Director, High Ropes Assistant Director, and full time directors. It was a wonderful time of learning, sharing, and planning.
It’s going to be a great summer!

We had a great time at the May 7th Partner’s Service Day.

60 White Pines were planted in Oregon Territory

Constructing the base of the Ga Ga Pit
We had a total of 30 volunteers help plant and mulch 110 trees, plant flowers, and construct a new Ga Ga Pit.

50 White Cedar Trees planted as a wind break.

Flowers were planted at the River Lodge and entrance sign.
Immigration Counselor Maureen Doyle from Purdue’s Office of International Students and Scholars was able to join us again this year with a group of 10 students.
