FrontierLodge's Xanga

In honor of summer

Mon, 05 May 2008 16:19:39 GMT

Here on the shores of this wild lovely lake,

where nature all her prospects gently blends.

Has met for years,

what memories awake,

this fellowship of congenial friends.

Canadian Tire Bucks

Just to let everyone know. We are still collecting Canadian Tire Bucks. While most people simply leave this in their car, or stuck here and there or even throw them away at Frontier Lodge we collect them to buy extra equipment and other items. So if you can live without your Canadian Tire Bucks, we would love to have them. You can mail them to the camp office.

When will it end !

News Reports are telling us this is a record year for snow. I guess this is great if you enjoy skiing. Here at camp we have had well over six feet of snow since December, things are buried in it. I suppose Spring will eventually make it through- I wish it were quicker.

Forrest is speaking March 16 at Bethel Chapel in Montreal.

Staffing Questions

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 13:04:05 GMT

Ok so here we go...

If you were on staff in Summer 2007, you have first dibs at being on staff for Summer 2008 if you will let me know by November 15. After November 15 we will begin to open up staff positions for new people and your 'saved' spot is no longer saved.

If you are fourteen and older you can work in the kitchen, on maintenance or apply to be a Junior Counselor.

If you are 17 and older you can apply to be a Senior Counselor.

If you are really talented and have some experience you can apply to be the Assistant Director, the Cook, the Nurse or the Day Camp Coordinator.

For all of you Summer 2007 staffers just a word or caution-- there are a lot of people interested in working this upcoming summer, you need to let me know ASAP whether or not you want your position held.

Junior High Camps Coming Up

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 17:08:14 GMT

Junior High One and Two are coming up. The theme for Junior High One is Mission Impossible and the theme for Junior High Two is Frontier Lodge: Special Investigations. It's all about accomplishing difficult tasks and doing what you don't think you are capable of. Think spies and private eyes, think mystery meals and secret clues.

Forrest

It goes on !

We had a work day on Saturday, the grounds look great. there is another workday on the 26th.

On Tuesday the Munkittrick project takes off as the Rec Hall is jacked up and moved so that a new foundation can be laid. No more rolling basketball court. Phase One should be done by June 6th, Phase 2 the decks and new doors won't happen until after camp is over this year.

Just a few more weeks and the bell will be ringing , we'll be singing loud "O"s and endless numbers of swimmers will be going out for their gimp colors.

Because it is almost summer !

These are the days of Elijah,
Declaring the word of the Lord:
And these are the days of Your servant Moses,
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial,
Of famine and darkness and sword,
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying
'Prepare ye the way of the Lord!'

Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call;
Lift your voice, it's the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes.

These are the days of Ezekiel,
The dry bones becoming as flesh;
And these are the days of Your servant David,
Rebuilding a temple of praise.
These are the days of the harvest,
The fields are as white in Your world,
And we are the labourers in Your vineyard,
Declaring the word of the Lord!

There's no God like Jehovah.
There's no God like Jehovah!

Just two months away...

Just a Frontier Lodge at Camp Update

Things are looking great for the summer-

The Junior Counselor Program is going to be a HUGE hit

We have awesome speakers lined up

Sr. High Co Ed is going to be great- Think Survivor

Who knows what they are planning for Boys- probably something with mud and guts

We still have several core staff ( paid) positions for Girl Counselors

We are still looking for a nurse for co ed ( we trade off nursing for a week of camp for a kid)

We still need volunteers for kitchen and maintenance ( all you Junior Counselors might give some thought to staying longer, you may think its hard work, but its pretty fun)

Upcoming information
