Dear Friends,
Happy New Year! Hope you had a great holiday season. Despite the winter weather I hope you are getting outside and enjoying some good walks along a beach or a trail. Perhaps you are snowboarding or skiing in the mountains. As you can see, we have a lot of things going on as we plan for the coming summer. Perhaps I’ll get to see you at a Camper Play Day, a Meet the Staff Day, or at the Reunion. Thank you for all of your wonderful cards, notes and support. Our membership drive is going great! I am already excited to get back up to camp and have a campfire with all of you. Keep in Touch with your Friends: Those winter nights are long, aren’t they? It’s hard to imagine sometimes that summer will ever come again. Well, Unalayee can assure you that those lingering warm summer days are on the way, and in the mean time we’ve got a way to keep your spirits up and your mind up at Camp… Unalayee will be hosting five free Camper Play Days this winter and spring! Attend the one in your area to meet up with your Unalayee friends that you havent’ seen in months. We’ll also be hosting a number of Meet our Staff events if you have friends who are interested in Unalayee and want to get to know some faces. And don’t forget about our Annual Reunion! It’s only three months away! Yay! Visit our Events Page frequently to keep up on all of these exciting upcoming opportunities for you, your friends, and your family! Thank You for 17 Years of Amazing Service As we move into 2012 we celebrate the first birthday of our new website. With this event in mind, we would like to send out a special thank you to Rick Perlman, Eric Perlman, and Ed Corpus for the countless hours and dedication they gave to making our origional website a reality. Rick and Pam Perlman, long time Unalayee Community members and supporters, came to Unalayee for many years and sent their children Eric and Caitlin to camp again and again. Rick and Eric first registered our domain name, unalayee.org, in 1995, and hosted it on their server, “Yikes”, for free for the following 17 years. The donation of their very reliable server and the support they gave us in keeping unalayee.org on the web have been fundamental in bringing Unalayee into the 21st century and getting us where we are today. Ed Corpus, refered to Unalayee by long time board member Mohini Peters, was instrumental in designing, maintaining, and updating the webpage for over 7 years. His artistic and web design talents made the webpage an attracitve workable website which has bringing campers to camp for well over a decade now! Both Ed and Rick were Camp Unalayee Board of Directors members for many years, and we cannot express our thanks enough to all three of these amazing community members who have selflessly donated their time and expertise to us over the years. Program Spotlight: Girls Getaway The 2012 Summer season isn’t so far off anymore. Registration is now open for all of our programs! This summer we are bringing back an awesome Special Program: the Girls Getaway! This extended 11-day backpacking trip is designed especially for girls of all ages. It gives the girls a chance to get out into the wilderness with other kids like themselves and learn how much they really are capable of. Use the buttons below to learn more about Girls Getaway or register today for any of our camper programs. Space is limited, so don’t wait too long! And the most important information first: last newsletter’s answer! The building in the December newsletter was the old foodshack! We had many correct guesses and some not so correct ones, but they were still good tries; keep up the good work! Forward! Where was this photo taken?
