It's Almost Time for Camp

It's nearing my favorite time of year: wheelchair sports camp. Not too long ago, I received the volunteer sign-up form in the mail and I can honestly say that I am very much looking forward to another year at camp.

I've been going to camp as either a camper or volunteer for roughly 15 years now. I've watched many of the campers grow up, head off to college, and then return to volunteer years later and in a lot of ways it's like going home for me. Camp is one of the few places I truly feel like I can blend in as well as make a difference.

I was a little doubtful about whether or not I would be able to attend this year since I'm switching jobs and therefore forfeiting the ten days of paid vacation I would have used to attend camp. However, Creighton has the ever–so–awesome policy of giving me 6.67 hours of vacation time for every month I work there. I did the math and, come July, I'll have nearly enough time to cover the week of camp paid.

In the meantime I'll have to develop a more efficient way of getting camp photos to everyone that doesn't involve sucking huge quantities of bandwidth from my website.
