Just about ready

We met again as a team on Saturday, June 13 and we really got a lot of work done. I didn't see what the Academic Team was doing during the afternoon, but I was really proud of the NESTers (Native English Speaking Team). We jumped on the task of planning all the activities for the camps. We basically planned out something for every NESTer for every day of camp. I'm sure we will change things as we get into it, but we're definitely much further along than we were at this point last year.

Since we will be in two locations this year, we've had to work hard to keep things in synch. It's not that we have to do things exactly the same at each camp, but we want to make sure we have a high quality program at both places. I feel pretty good about things now.

At the end of our meeting, Luke reminded us of how really important our work is - not just in teaching and helping students have fun, but in building deep and important relationships. We spent some time thinking together about our part in making that happen. We appreciate the thoughts of others who are interested in this work.

Since I am going over about a week ahead of the Academic Team to do some other business, my time is almost here. I leave on July 1, less than two weeks from when I am writing this. Wow!
