I received word from Tim Ralston at YMCA Camp Ihduhapi about an upcoming training event.  On Labor Day Weekend, Ihduhapi will be hosting a Ropes Course Training weekend that will place a special emphasis on Low Ropes and "soft skills", along with a special training on Teambuilding and religious views.

If you are interested, the cost is $50.00 per person.  This fee includes dinner on Friday (they are having a cookout) through lunch on Sunday and housing during the time you are there.

For more information or to sign up, contact Tim by email at RopesCentral@yahoo.com.

P.S.  Tim guarantees a new game for any Facilitator who attends!

My staff and I have been hard at work developing the Fall Training Schedule.  We have our drafts on paper and, once we have the Executive Director's approval, we will be posting them on the camp website and here.

If all goes well, we will have our new training sessions online by September 1, 2003.  (Sorry about the revised deadline.)  Please feel free to contact me if you have ideas for trainings or suggestions for possible dates!

Items currently under consideration are:

Initiatives for the Classroom

Ropes Course Certification Weekend

Tracker School

Wilderness First Aid
