October 2007
Just returned from Junctions 2007 – a United Church Camp Gathering held at Five Oaks in Brantford. What a great time, best time of the year to get to a conference and connect with fellow camping professionals.
Jim Cain was our keynote speaker, this was my fourth time seeing him speak and he is a truly inspiring keynote and workshop presenter. Other camping professionals should see more of Jim. You can see Jim at the International Camping Congress in Quebec 2008. The Congress is being held in Quebec City in October of 2008 – a meeting of all camping professionals from across the globe.
I did a session on Recruiting and Strengthening Boards at Junctions.
