We would like to move towards more whole families coming. The idea/vision would be that in the long run, we are creating an environment that promotes community growth as a family, even inviting those who do not have kids to come and participate in the camp. We are working on getting the costs as low as possible to make doable for everyone. This will not change a lot of what is going to happen for the kids. They will still have games during the day, campfire and crazy games. The adults would be more present, and this may mean a smaller group.
We need: Families to consider coming as a whole, and see if this is something they can commit to this year. Feel free to talk to Marianne Skees, Hall Miller, Lee Yoritomo or Jeanette Barnes to get a feel for the vision of camp for the future. We also need to start planning for next year NOW.

What is the plan for this year's camp? We are little behind in planning.
We need to get more of the parents on board. We also want to encourage those with gifts in the crafty/woodworking/art areas to come and spend some time with the kids sharing that with them. I'll be putting out flyers very soon to the families in the school. We've already sent out a save the date for them anyway.
I've been looking at the costs ect. and am thinking about charging a flat fee per child. It works about the same for a family in the long run, but is more fair for 1-2 children families. We'd be looking at $219-$244 per person ages 9 and up. (Depending on the number of people we take) This is different from last years graduated costs at $340/$265(2nd)/$190(3rd) What are your thoughts?
