SUP Retreat

This past weekend was the SUP Retreat! We received PMC (Program Management Certification) training and just got to hang out with all the other directors and Leaders! coordinators. Although the retreat lasted pretty much the whole weekend and exhausted us at some points, we really felt that we got a good training for our jobs as directors. We spent considerable time with topics on community, hiring, and budget. Now that we're excited and ready to go, we can't wait for hiring and camp to start!

SUPlove,
David and Sue
