Camp CUMCITO Here We Come

Last Saturday a group of us met in Overland Park, KS for Camp CUMCITO (City Union Mission's Camp in the Ozarks) 2009 Supervisor Training. This is one of the steps we take in the Spring to prepare for camp every summer.

This summer I will once again serve as the Staff Director for pre-teen camp from July 12-18. The Staff Director is responsible for the counselors. I will be serving 6 counselors and 6 assistant counselors for the week. Each cabin will house up to 8 boys ages 11 and 12. It is my job to serve the counselors by keeping them motivated, informed and sane during the week as well as making sure they are getting their 2 hours off each day. We try hard to protect their time off as they are on duty 22 hours a day.

Travis Bradburn, the guy in the red shirt, is the Camp Director and he works full time for City Union Mission. He ran our Supervisor Training last Saturday.

Janice will be a counselor this year for the first time. This is the 4th year we have served together at camp and she has done a different job each year. She is nervous about going into a cabin, but I know she will do great.

If you are at all interested in serving at camp with us please let me know. The application process takes a few weeks and you would need to get started fairly soon. Be on the lookout for updates as we get closer to camp. I'm sure I will be posting several photos when we're finished with our week.
