Staff Spring Clean Weekend
Sunday, April 13, 2008 | 0 Comment(s)
The mountain is definitely looking better after this past weekend. Our first annual Staff Spring Clean Weekend was such a success! The dust was flying, paint brushes were working overtime, and new flowers were planted...and that doesn't even begin to describe the work that our staff volunteered to do. I can't thank them enough for what they did! Thank you...Press, Katherine, Baylor, Amelia, Kevin, Christen, Kelli, AJ, Brooks, Mac, Greg, Brittany, Jackson, Bryan, Alicia, Anna, John, Mitch, Todd, Lance, Alise, Lauren, Kelly, Tucker, Alex, Ian, Alpha, Avery, Carly and Kristen. I hope you know that what you did this weekend is an amazing gift to the mountain. And we are so lucky to have each and every one of you on staff this summer.
Though we worked hard, we did find time for play and Brittany that was an amazing bombardment game winning catch (sorry AJ, maybe next time)! I'm also very impressed with our male staff's knowledge of chick flick trivia...very impressive John! Also the new Disc Golf course got rave reviews from the staff as well...can't wait for all of you to try it out!
Counting down the days until summer.
Take care,
Becki
I'm posting some pictures from the weekend as well on the slideshow so check them out.

I'm sitting here in our winter office, thinking of all of you, watching the trees start to bloom and knowing that summer is just around the corner.
We're finishing up the renovations on the famous Cabin 1...and it is INCREDIBLE!!!! Our eldest girl campers will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their new digs, complete with a full length mirror in their new "Taj Mahal" style bathroom. In the spirt of giving a little love to girls camp, we have begun renovations on what was once our "Lady and the Tramp" cabin, but will now be the new cabin 13. We want to keep the finished projects as a suprise...stay tuned for details in future blogs.
For all you horse lovers (and we can finally count Becki as one of you now that she's taking riding lessons), we are very excited about the arrival of an addition to the Highlander family. Tara, our beautiful resident horse mama, is expecting her third Highlander baby in May. Tara is doing great, and Julie and Stephanie (our year round riding staff) are taking terrific care of her. But we need a little help from all of you in picking a name for the new foul. So we are asking for your suggestions. Just post a name suggestion to the blog...the person whose name we pick wins a trip for the cabin to Kilwins with me.
Can't wait to see all your smiling faces!
From the mountain,
Karl

Hello everybody! Sorry I haven't blogged for awhile...as you can imagine things are busy here in the mountain. So I got my first horseback riding lesson today from our new Head of Horses, Julie. It was so great! And this is coming from the former art lady. Julie did a great job of making me feel safe and I learned so much in only a forty minute lesson. Stephanie our other new full time staff member at the barn was a huge help too. I can't wait for all of you to meet them both. Also we have another baby horse on the way. Tara is pregnant with her third baby, and will be delivering some time in May. So much happening at the barn this summer!
Hope you all are enjoying school. See you soon!
Take care,
Becki
