Happy Spring !!!! There are times when we all have to be patient. Patience is a virtue. Well, the patience of us all has paid off! Spring is here, ….you know, the time when birds start to chirp in the early morning, we bring out our running shoes, spring flowers are bursting through the brownish greenish grass, and that little voice inside your head telling you that something great is coming soon…CAMP! This earlier than usual time change ‘spring ahead’ nonsense has caused us all a little craziness. We aren’t sure what time it is anymore. Is there anything that we can do to stop the insanity? And then there’s the pretty colors of eggs, chocolate rabbits and baby chicks…why do we make delicious chocolate such a prominent part of Spring? Anyway, on a Spring related note…back to the relevance of CAMP! Yes, it’s soon going to be time when all of you are nervously anticipating the start of the summer camp season, when you will all meet in the beautiful State of Maine for an incredible camp experience of new friends, fun activities, and just plain relaxation from the stress of school and everything that goes with those wonderful textbooks and class schedules.

There are times when we all have to be patient.  Patience is a virtue.  Well, the patience of us all has paid off!  Spring is here, ….you know,  the  time when  birds  start  to  chirp  in  the  early morning, we  bring  out  our  running  shoes,  spring  flowers  are bursting  through  the  brownish  greenish grass,  and  that  little voice  inside  your  head  telling  you  that  something  great  is coming  soon…CAMP!    This  earlier  than  usual  time  change ‘spring  ahead’  nonsense  has  caused  us  all  a  little  craziness. 

We  aren’t  sure  what  time  it  is anymore.    Is  there anything  that we  can  do  to  stop  the  insanity? And then there’s the pretty colors of  eggs,  chocolate  rabbits  and baby  chicks…why  do  we  make delicious  chocolate  such  a prominent  part  of  Spring? Anyway,  on  a  Spring  related note…back  to  the  relevance  of

but each year the city  of Porter, Maine  throws a big party  to welcome  the  return  of  our  staff  to  Maine.    They  host  a wonderful rodeo style banquet, complete with a huge meal and parade.  They absolutely love our staff and for many, it’s like seeing old friends in the community again each summer.  Dillo LOVES parades, especially riding on the top of the shiny fire truck.    And  we  know  how  much  Sean  Satin  enjoys  the jamboree and its bluegrass music.  He was once asked to join in,  but  town  officials  wanted  him  to  wear  a  ‘special  outfit’ which Sean declines  to comment on to  this date.   We hear  it had something to do with chicken suits…or Mr. Cabbage, the Maine  state  Mascot.    Anyway,  continuing  on  with  the celebration, let’s celebrate the names of our 2007 STAFF!…. ABDY, Clare  ANTHONY, NIGEL  ANTION,  Rachel ATEWOLOGUN, AnuBAME, Ernest (Wilson)BARRY, Simon  BECKER,

New CABINS? Say What?!?!  In a word, YES.  Well, in an overwhelming response to one of our MEY questions wayyyy back in the Fall, we noted that most of you preferred to have a new girls cabin built, so….we are building 2 of them!  That’s right gals, we are removing two older cabins and replacing them with state of the art, brand spanking new (what DOES that mean anyway?), cabins, each with two showers, basins, and toilets, a closet, overhead storage space, and best of all….a new front porch!  Designer extraordinaire, Kris Kamys, and builder extraordinaire, Mark Bolton, combined with ancient wisdom from Jay Stager, and well, Mo, Pinesy, Sarah, and whoever else can throw in their two cents, have come up with a great cabin appearance inside and out, to keep with the New England ‘Camp’ Scene, somewhat replicating the old style, but updating all that’s old with shiny new.  So yeah, sort of old but totally new.  Yeah, you get it.  Okay boys, we know how incredibly bummed you are about not having new cabins, but we also know that you admire the girls so much that you are willing to forgo your chance this year of new cabins for them.  Geez, chilvary is sweet isn’t it? NEW TRIP??? Has MTC admin gone crazy?…yes, a new trip has been added to our already vast selection…the Maine Moose Experience.  What is this MME?  You experience all that is mooses.  Including moose dropping, moose footprints and…well you get the picture. ASK DR. Woody Proud Winner  of  the  1996  Daytime  Emmy,  and  1997/1998  winner  of  the Attorney  Generals  annual  award  for  most  irresponsible  and  immature advice giving to impressionable young people (the Spice Girl Award).

•  Dear  Dr,  Woody  –  Why  is  it  that  we  look forward to Spring so much?  I mean, winter isn’t that bad…Mr. Constant Fused 

Dear Fused:  In response to this interesting query, It  can  be  said  that  winter  lasts  a  bit  too  long, overstaying  it’s  welcome  –  like  that  unwanted house  guest  that  you  get who  eats  all  your  food, watches  your  TV  and  never  helps  do  the 

dishes…you know, the kind that reflects poorly upon humans in general.  The kind  that    mooches  and  never  gives  back  in  return.    The  kind  that…okay, sorry, I recently had a houseguest.  Back to the question.  Frankly, winter is not that bad and in fact, I agree.  Thanks for asking. 

See  you  all  this  summer!!  Not  long now…only  14  ½  days  left  till  June  24 th ! Yes,  we  are  counting,  but  apparently  not very well.
