Has Spring Sprung?

With the sun shining, the snow melting and the temperatures above freezing, we're beginning to feel like spring has spring here at Isanogel. We are excitedly registering campers, interviewing staff, hosting recreation activities on Monday evenings and planning for the summer.

Our big excitement this week is the opportunity to attend the American Camping Association's Midstates Camping Conference in St. Charles, IL (www.acamidstates.org). We will be attending the conference wtih generous support from the Indiana Youth Institute's Professional Development Grant (http://www.iyi.org/fundraising-grants/development-grants.aspx). With IYI's generous support, we are looking forward to gaining new knowledge relating to staff development, camp programming and risk management. We will also be presenting a session on Thursday night centered on the importance of developing, implementing and evaluating goal
setting tools in camp programming.

The Midsates conference has come to be a sure sign of Spring at Isanogel...let's hope it lasts!
