Photos from Parent-Daughter 2009

Hello, all! As we gear up to have Reunion 2009 and start the summer, I thought I would put up a few photos from this year's Parent Daughter Weekend. It's always a lot of fun to share the excitement of Camp with new (and some returning) folks!


Staff members Fran Exley and Jamie Moon help teach archery.

It rained in the afternoon, so we had an impromptu auction with good and bad prizes! The girls were very excited about this activity.


As always, food is very important at Camp! Dot came up to provide us with delicious meals, aided by alums such as Carolyn Frost.

Co-director Kappy Kelly enjoys serving food at a meal.



Alum Florrie Johnson and her daughter Alice planned a fun 70's-themed party for Saturday night, including a disco in the Lodge and Twister in Bidwell!

Thanks to everyone who made Parent-Daughter 2009 a success!!

Summer's almost here!

Hello, all!

Last weekend was CJL's annual Parent-Daughter weekend, and though it rained the entire time, it seemed that everyone enjoyed themselves. We offered classes at the lake, arts and crafts, archery, and the climbing wall, had an auction in the afternoon in lieu of going to the swimming hole, and had an excellent 70's themed party in the evening planned by Florrie Johnson! It was a lot of fun, and even the parents got involved at the station where the game Twister was played.

Reunion is coming up soon--this year it is June 5 - 7, the weekend before Camp officially opens for the summer. More information about CJL's Reunion weekend can be found at http://www.cjl.org/reunion.html. This year's Reunion is being headed up by sisters Cassandra (Rogers) Beall and Amy (Rogers) Deuley, and they have some fun activities planned! We'd love to see you there!

We are still looking for a few staff members for this summer. If you know anyone who fits the bill for these positions, please contact cjl.recruiter@gmail.com or info@cjl.org, or have them do so ASAP!

*A nurse the first week of 4th session (July 5 - July 11)
*Pool director 3rd - 5th sessions (June 28 - August 2; at least 20 years of age, lifeguard certified, WSI certified preferred)

Spread the Word about CJL!

Spring is (mostly) in the air these days, which means it's getting closer to time for camp! We still have a few staff positions that need to be filled. Perhaps you know of someone who would be good for the job, or maybe you have a climbing gym, outdoor club, university, etc. in your town that might let you put up a flier advertising CJL's job openings.

We are still looking for:

*a Lake director
*a Pool director for part of the summer
*a Ropes Course director
*various unit staff positions
*Kitchen positions

If you would like to get a copy of the staff job openings flier e-mailed to you to print out and put up, please e-mail Allison Laney at cjl.recruiter@gmail.com!

We also need to spread the word to potential campers and their parents. What can you, as a CJL alumna, do to help? Quite a few things, actually!

Among other things, you can:

*Host a DVD viewing party at your home, church, or work
*Talk to parents at your child's school
*See if your child's school would allow you to put brochures out
*Help sponsor a friend's daughter if you do not have camper-age girls
*Bring someone to Parent-Daughter Weekend
*Tell stories about all your fantastic memories of camp!

If you need brochures or DVDs or other materials to help get the word out, you can contact Peggy at the winter office or Allison Laney at the e-mail address listed above.

Don't forget that we have a few camp fairs coming up, as well! Stop by and say hi, or send friends with daughters to come see us!
