Our Staff Assistant Retreat was a huge success. Stu, Tom, Erica, Katie and I all spent a weekend in the woods of Fairview Lake YMCA Camp with a bunch of teenage staffies. We worked hard, had lots of fun, and got to know everyone a whole lot better. Much of the time was spent learning to work together as a team and how to effectively communicate with each other. We also spent time learning about the various teams and the tasks that they are responsible for at camp. Brian Z., a returning Team A member from last summer, helped explain how the lifeguarding is organized, chagneover is managed, and sports equipment is distributed. Russ I. and Matt Z., returners from Team B, instructed the newbies on what the office staff accomplishes and how to get it all done. I worked with a brand new Team D. We discussed how to manage photo galleries, what to take pictures of and even new ideas for web photo journals. Saturday night ended with a bunk meeting where we asked questions about camp, read a Dr Seuss book and sat around a fireplace.
If you read my last entry, you know all about or Staff Assistant CD Mix. Anyway, we had an amazing time listening to the songs and finding out why everyone picked their songs. As promised here is the unblurry version of the CD mix cover.
I want to give a big thanks to Erica and Katie for flying in for this event! They put a lot of work into the program and their presence was most appreciated! It was certainly a fantastic retreat for me!
