The Past Week (and a half) in Review...

Hey Everyone!

I hope you all are having a wonderful week!! I wonder how many of you have been snowed in?? We had a decent amount of snow in CT though not as much as predicted. However we do have enough to make some good snow angels and snowballs...that's all that matters!

So, I'm sure many of you stayed up Sunday night watching the Super Bowl. I am not much of a football person but I do enjoy getting together with my family, watching the commercials and eating good food. The food did not disappoint, I think we could have fed all of camp with what we had. Haha!! We had wings, pigs in a blanket, shrimp cocktail, pulled pork, meatball sandwiches, pizza, cookies, cupcakes...oh my I better stop I am making myself hungry!! Now that I think of it, we should have a super bowl party at camp! That would be way too much fun! To make it even better for Brad and all of those Jets fans out there, we can have the Jets make it to our CKM Super Bowl. You're welcome Brad...I'm always looking out for you!

Ok, so I did title this blog the past week (and a half) in review so I better talk about what else I did this past week. Here I go, I'll work my way backwards. This past weekend we were up at camp for tours. We absolutely froze on Sunday. As we walked along the path past assembly towards the drama hall the wind that was coming off the lake was absolutely incredible. I think I got brain freeze!! YOUCH! But all in all it was a great weekend, we met a lot of new families who are really excited about CKM and look forward to being part of our camp family. This past week I have also been working on bunk groups. Many of you are saying to yourself, Bunk groups? Why on earth would Tricia be working on bunk groups in February? Well, I can answer that for you. I start early so we can really figure out which weeks we have spaces for. We also start early so we can make sure we do the best to honor the bunk mate requests that you send in. There's a lot of work that needs to be done early to make each summer a successful one. Part of that work is staffing, which we did...interviews, returning staff list, trainings, etc. At the start of the week, which for my blog will be the weekend (1/30-1/31) it was very busy. We had tours on the 30th and Brad and I ventured out to Brooklyn on the 31st for a camp fair. Whew! There you go, "the past week (and a half) in review". I hope this is a great week for everyone and I look forward to my next blog.
