Eric's 50th camp at Totara, according to our records, here at the recent Medieval Kids Camp. One of our most beloved volunteers, known for his warm friendly presence with a ready smile, his memorable dress-up outfits for camp themes and his dedication to the kids and volunteering at camp so many times over the years, and a fav team player when he's been on summer staff. It always feels more homely when Eric is there. Big thanks for all you've done Eric, you're a star and an inspiration.

Check out our action packed summer at camp! From Family Camps, to Teens, to Kids & J-Kids, to still being able to run most of an Elite Sports Camp despite the weather wrecking havoc on the trees around our buildings. Big thanks to all the volunteers and Summer Staff who made it possible to run all these camps in 1 month for 2000+ people, their dedication and attitudes were genuinely inspiring.
