Pistop at Arrowhead
A Update from Jeremy at Camp...
I have been holding down the fort at camp for the past few weeks, answering the phones, composing the next leg of home shows and college staff recruitment, etc. In my time here among the beauty of Camp Arrowhead I have been almost isolated and though to many this would seem a torture it, for me, has been a great time of reflection and communication with staff. Many of the staff are back in school and enjoying the post summer reclaiming their relationships on their respective campus and getting back into the swing of classes. David Swanson, aka Swamp Donkey, emailed to thank me for introducing him to a game that I taught during staff training. He stated that in his sociology class the professor offered extra credit if anyone could figure out the secret to the game…needless to say Swamp Donkey got the credit and fame! It’s interactions like the one with “Swampy” that make me grateful for such a great staff this summer.
So, it was AWESOME to see Rideout and Jez this week when they rolled into camp! The energy that they had and the stories they told were very fun to hear. They are on a great adventure and I must say that I am very, very jealous. As Jez would say, he and Rideout are “great mates” to see once again. In addition they brought with them the entire Jackson Kayak team. I got to catch up with Dane and meet the rest of the crew…a great team of people to travel the country alongside. Thinking of the skill and world class talent that is on the team made me want to ask for more tips and “can you help me with my roll,” but I refrained from looking like a dork.
The crew rolled out after making the day more enjoyable for me and Rideout and I got to chat some more. It was great to sit and chat with my friend and hear of his adventures and we made the promise to go paddling after the tour was over. Guess I better work on my donkey flips and cartwheels…Ha, I’m trying to catch on to the lingo.
Anywho, life is too short to sit idle and watch the grass grow. Congrats to Rideout and Jez for taking this adventure on and going for their dreams. Good luck to them on the rest of the comp’s and thanks for the friendships.
