Good Qoute:
     "To laugh often and much;
       to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
       to earn the appreciation of honest critics and ignore the betrayal of false friends;
       to appreciate beauty;
       to find the best in others;
       to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch,
              or a redeemed social condition;
       to know even ONE LIFE has breathed easier because YOU have lived.
                                                      ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

About the Woodlake Day Camp Staff:
As you may know, the day camps put on in the past three years have been put on "by girls, for girls," and have earned quite the reputation throughout our council.  Each year, our camp has a different theme.  These included "Around the World" in 2001, "Sports" in 2002, "Science" in 2003, and "The Arts" in 2004  Our theme this year is still undecided.

The camp will be held this summer, an undecided date.  We expect to host around 70 first through sixth grade campers.  Seventh through twelfth graders run the camp and hold different positions depending on how many years' experience they have.  Positions include Girl Unit Assistant,Second Year Counselors, First Year Counselors, and Caddies. GUAs are in tenth through twelfth grade, and hold the most responsibility in the group.  Second year counselors are typically in ninth grade, and have two years of experience with the camp. First year counselors have one year of experience, and are usually in eighth grade.  Finally, caddies are in seventh grade and have no prior experience in leading a day camp. Adult volunteers supervise classroom activities during the camp.

All staff members can expect to develop leadership skills, make some great friends (both their own age and older), and have an overall rewarding experience.  Putting on a camp takes a lot of work, but is a ton of fun-just ask any of the caddies and counselors from last year!
