Camp Director in Winter Mode

Frosty cold days and quiet mark camp in the winter months.  The snow shovel is the the most frequently used piece of equipment. Stacks of catalogs come in and camp registration materials are going out. The baseball diamond lies under a deep white blanket. The archery field, ropes course and  grounds are haunted by remembered laughter and the call of birds. We wait for the return of campers and outings groups to bring back all the smiles. 

So what should a camp director do? Play guitar, sing a few of the old favorites. Be sure to ask at camp  this season to hear "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgrerald" a song  originally put out by Gordon Lightfoot. Listen to the video clip on the blog here. Dudley played at the Bread-Box  to benefit the Covenant Soup Kitchen in Willimantic. The Bread-Box Showcase mic raises funds for the soup kitchen which is feeding our hungry neighbors. It is held in the sanctuary of St. Paul's at 22 Valley St. in Willimantic, Ct.
