Camp Dates Back.jpeg I do not like making camp videos. Even when I do not have to jump in the lake, I don't like doing it. I didn't enjoy making this video about registration, but I made it anyway, because I was excited about the new potential...

Bursary Reference

Bursary
Camp is fun. This is well-known. What is less well known is that camp is a terrific place to develop a resume. I know what I am talking about. I worked a lot of different summer jobs: I was a landscaper and groundskeeper for the Town of High River;...

Open for Summer

Covid Communications
Every monday, for the last couple months, has rolled around and with it came a certain level of dread. Because I knew I had to send out a little blog post and usually the little blog post had some tint of bad news. I do not enjoy being a harbinger...

The (Final) Plan

Camp Life
Today is a perfect spring day in the Pass. It’s warm - almost “hot”. The trees are budding explosively, like they had waited together, conspiratorially, for this weekend, and then all together, all at once, push out their first neon green leaves. It...

Covid and the COLTS

Covid Communications
The COLTS have arrived. If ever there was a tell tale sign of spring in this corner of the world, this is it. I won’t disparage the crocus by saying the COLTS are more exciting, but it is exciting to see the COLTS arrive. Almost as exciting as a...

Covid-19 Update: 19 April 2021

Coronavirus
The 6 April Press Conference held by Dr. Deena Hinshaw was a strange one, if you are a student of these things. Strange, because the news reported - and the tone - was a blend of optimism and alarm that you do not often hear. On the one hand, we...

Covid-19 Update: 22 March 2021

Pandemics
One year ago was the beginning. The beginning of the pandemic and all the chaos that went with it. It’s been a rough year. It has been a rough year, but Crow navigated it as well as anyone, I think. We’ve turned our focus to renovation and upgrades...

Hello friends! It has been a while. We’re hangin’ in there - keepin’ it real - and we hope you are, too. Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. ~ Ephesians 5: 15 - 16...

THE OATMILK WINTER CAMP

Winter Camp Update... I am lactose intolerant. Yet I love milk. Unsurprisingly this has caused some grief in my personal life. One day, after drinking a glass of milk, I asked my partner Josh, “Hey, when you drink milk does it hurt...
