SUP Retreat

2010-02-02T11:40:00.003-05:00

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

Senior Counselor Application

2010-01-01T23:26:00.006-05:00

is now online! It was awesome to welcome in the new year today. 2009 was full of wonderful memories and experiences. We hope that 2010 will bring even more! Each day that passes now is one day closer to CHAD 2010! It will be amazing how quickly these next few months will pass as we move towards the start of the summer. :)

CHADlove,

Senior Counselor Info Session

2009-12-10T00:34:00.003-05:00

Last night was the first info session for anyone interested in being a senior counselor for SUP 2010. There weren't too many people who showed up, although the horrible weather may have been a big deterrent. It was nice to see new faces, especially freshmen, come and check out all of the SUP camps! Hopefully there will be as many applications for us to sift through this year as Annie and Aja had last year. SUP is heading off to a good start!

CHADlove,
David and Sue

The Beginning

2009-12-08T22:03:00.004-05:00

On Friday, December 4th, 2009, David and Sue received their congratulatory emails from CHAD '09 directors Annie and Aja! They attempted to synchronize responding and accept their offers to co-direct CHAD '10 at the same time. It is unclear how close their emails were actually sent, but they were certainly both extremely ecstatic to receive an opportunity to direct a program they are very passionate about.

CHADlove,
David and Sue
