Summer Camp 2006

Canoeing, climbing, and Capture-the-Flag. Archery, art's & crafts, and awesome counselors. S'mores, swimming, and Survivor: Camp Gray. Faith, Friends and Fun. No matter how you alliterate it, summer camp 2006 is going to be fantastic. Don't miss out! We still have many spaces available for this summer, though some sessions are filling fast. To view what sessions are still available, please view our Session Chart >>  (updated daily)

For those already signed up. . .

In the last issue of the newsletter, you learned that an incredible 86% of Camp Gray campers come to camp for the first time because of a personal invitation from a family member or friend. If you know of anyone from work, church, school, or elsewhere who would benefit from a Camp Gray experience, please tell them about us. You are the reason that Camp Gray is filled each summer. Thank you! (You can always break the ice with a E-postcard from Camp Gray. Go to Camp Gray E-postcards >>)
 

A Pretty Sharp Way to Support Camp Gray. . .

Camp Gray is partnering with Rada Manufacturing Co. to raise money for camper scholarships. Through this online fund-raising program, Camp Gray receives a large percentage on purchases made through the Rada website. Rada manufactures high quality cutlery and other kitchen supplies. Rada knives have earned a reputation for top quality and great value. Also available are recipe books, soy wax candles, and stoneware. If you are interested in outfitting your kitchen and supporting Camp Gray at the same time, please click the link: http://www.HelpOurFundraiser.com?One=500035&Two=CAMPGRAY >>

FYI - Mark your calendars. Camp Gray will be holding a yard sale May 11th and 12th in the Camp Gray driveway. If you have any items you would like to sell, please bring them to camp by May 10th. All proceeds from the sale will go towards camper scholarships.

Alternative Spring Break

Are looking for a fun, engaging, and meaningful way to spend your spring break this year? Are you a high school junior or senior? If you answered yes to both these questions, Camp Gray has the solution for you. Camp is offering it's second year of alternative spring break service trips. Led by camp's year-round volunteers, these trips offer a great opportunity to meet new people, have fun, and, most importantly, serve those in need. We are offering two trips this spring. One will be heading to Tennessee to work on constructing the Cumberland Gap Trail and the other will be heading to the Minneapolis/St. Paul  area to participate in a number of different service opportunities in the cities. Each trip runs from Saturday, March 25th through Saturday, April 1st.

If you are interested in learning more, please email Kelly at kelly@campgray.com. We hope to see you there.

And Finally. . .

Camp Gray Skiing.  January was a cruel month for those who enjoy cross country skiing. After being spoiled by all the snow in December, January was a major let-down. We would still like to have a day of skiing up here at Camp Gray if the weather cooperates. Many of you have already signed up as interested, and we have saved your contact info. If you still interested in coming up to camp for a day of cross country skiing, waxing clinic, and more, please fill out the form below. We'll get in touch with you the during the week if we have enough snow on the ground or the forecast looks promising. (except for the weekend of the 25th - a few of us are skiing the Birkie!) Hold out the hope for snow!
