Contacting each other... I would encourage all of you to be in contact with one another. 8 weeks of camp will fly by, so start thinking now about what your goals are for the summer and what you hope to accomplish. Camp can be an awesome time to grow and do things that you would never have gotten to do otherwise... be ready to take advantage of these opportunities. That's it! Sorry to preach... but thanks for listening. By my count we now have 31 days until campers arrive at camp. Feel free to be in touch with any questions or concerns. No subject is off limits! I look forward to seeing many of you at the work weekend this Saturday, and the rest of you at camp!

From: "Scott
Hamel" <scootrows@hotmail.com> I hope that you are all as excited about this summer as I am. My name is Scott Hamel and I will be functioning as the Program Commissioner (formerly called the Head Commissioner) this summer at HVSC. After a four year stay in the "real world", I have decided that I am not real, and thus I return to camp. Some of you, who are very old, remember me holding various positions 93-99, others I have met already in interviews and OA events, the rest I look forward to meeting. Mark, Chris, and I have been working very closely together over the past few months to complete the staff and plan a good program. One of the things that is crucial to making a great staff prepared for the summer is lots of quality training during staff week. However, we can't train anybody if we are all stuck on the hill putting up Canvas. And thus,like last year, we are having two staff work days! There will be canvas, there will be steel frames, there will be sweat, loud music (of the scout appropriate kind), and there will be large CASH PRIZES. Ok, so there will be no cash prizes, but you never know what you will find while unfolding canvas... Unfortunately, our fearless leader, Mr. Callahan, will be unable to join us for the first one, but he would want us to continue on without him. And Mr Lemelin and myself will be at Campschool for the second one. But there will be two large smiling, cardboard cutouts of us. Now here is the sticky legal part: these work days are required, you must attend at least one of them. Of course, given the short notice, if you have valid prior commitments for both dates, you may be excused. But please contact me immediately detailing your commitments. But I can't imagine that you would want to miss out on so much fun. Please reply to this email to let me know which work day you will be at (or both!) so that we know how many people to expect. Now here's the good news, for each work day that you attend, you will get an EXTRA NIGHT OFF or "sleep in" during the summer! Also, these workdays are not just for staff! If your troop or chapter would like to come up and help out, they are more than welcome. The details are below:

From: "Chris
Lemelin" <clemelin@cisunix.unh.edu> Hi Staff, I thought you might like another update on what is going on in preparation for camp this summer. By my count we have 44 days until campers arrive and only 37 days until staff week. Its coming..... and coming fast!!!! Many of you have been asking about the different area directors in camp this year... I'm pleased to be able to announce that we have assembled an all star team of directors again this year. Therefore, I am pleased to introduce the camp leadership for 2003... Camp Director - Mark Callahan Program Director - Chris Lemelin Program Commissioner - Scott Hamel Nurse - Jan Robak Head Steward - Jen Halliday Adult Training - Dick Burrows First Year - Bill Dexter C.O.P.E. - Barbara Sanchez Scoutcraft - Nate Beach-Westmoreland Handicraft / Communications - Mark Metevier Waterfront - Kevin Mullen Native American - Alec Bass Shooting Sports - Joy Halliday Ecology - Jess Durocher Valley Voyagers - Scott Piddington
Staff Openings We are still looking for a few good under 18 staff members as well as a Valley Voyager Asst. (must be 18+.) Camp Bell also has a number of openings for 18+ staff members. Please, keep your eyes and ears open for anyone who might be interested in any position on the reservation. Staff Website Tom Brand has agreed to take on the task of redesigning our staff website to make it accessible to all. The website will contain information about the summer and resources for staff members. Watch for its official unveiling soon....
I realize that many of you probably have questions and concerns about this summer. Please feel free any member of the key 3 with these and we will strive to get back to you as soon as possible. Also, as always, if anyone got left off the mailing list please let me know - I've transferred my addresses to a different program so some may have been lost in the process. Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank all of you. Change is never easy, and as Mark, Scott and myself have been getting used to our new positions over the winter, we haven't been able to follow up with many of you as quickly as we would have liked. All of you have shown a great deal of understanding in this regard, and please know that we appreciate it. I can promise you that the main goal of camp this summer has not changed at all - we will continue to provide the best program in the Northeast Region for the scouts we serve. And, as a staff member you should expect to work hard while having a ton of fun this summer!
Yours in Scouting, |
