Volunteers - Your Commitment is What Keeps Us Going

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

As our Fall Family weekend fun comes to an end, we look back on the past two seasons and are grateful for all of the help that we have had here at the Double H. A woman recently asked if we had trouble getting volunteers to spend their “free” time at camp. Absolutely not. Truth is, we are blessed to have so many amazing volunteers and staff that care about our kiddos and want to give of themselves and their hearts every time they step foot on camp.

You, as volunteers, are willing to fill the hearts of everyone you work with every time you are here. You fill them with laughter, hope, patience, kindness, compassion, and praise. No matter what might be happening in your own personal lives, you are able to go beyond that or use it as a catalyst to infuse a sense of self-confidence and pride in belonging into every single camper you work alongside of. This is no easy feat, but you all do it with such great poise and simplicity; a child-like ease.

Being here at camp, doing the work we do is a powerful and magical experience. We truly would not be able to do what we do as an organization without your hard work and dedication. For that, we are honored, humbled, inspired, and thankful. You will all be in our thoughts and lists of thanks this upcoming season of giving, and always. Your commitment is what keeps us going.

Announcements from Admissions!

Hi Double H Ranch Campers and Parents!

We hope everyone had a great summer and are enjoying this cool Fall weather. Admissions would like to highlight a few upcoming events- we are thrilled to announce the 2010 Adaptive Winter Sports Program application will be available online (for the first time) in a couple weeks! 

 

We have been working very hard with our database company to produce an online application.  Parents, you will be able to complete your child’s application using a link on our website.  We will still require hard copies of parent signatures and a physical exam but the majority of the application will now be completed online.  We are hoping families take advantage of this and will be able to quickly complete the information and submit it to us with a simple click of the mouse!  We will see you on the slopes! 

 

There will also be a Parent Advisory Group meeting on Tuesday, October 20th in Saratoga at 6:30pm.  We will be planning upcoming events and will hear from our Development team on new initiatives- ways for parents to assist the Double H as we move quickly towards 2010. 

 

As always, thank you all for your continued support and we hope to see you soon.
