Camp Gailor Maxon slideshow - Are you ready for camp??

One of our awesome counselors, Lizzy Holt, made this amazing slideshow of past camp pictures. It sure got me in the camp spirit now that school is out, the air is warm, the sun is shining, and the sky is blue. Have you turned in your form yet?

Introducing the Staff... Julia Gardial

We are so excited to introduce our next staff member. Julia Gardial is a wonderful person who will be joining us for her first year on staff. Here's what Julia has to say:

J

"I am a freshman at the University of Alabama. My major is Public Relations with a double minor in English and Creative Writing. In my free time, I like to read, watch movies, and knit. I'm very excited about going to camp because it has always been such a wonderful experience for me, and now I'll have a chance to give back in a small way to the place that has changed my life so much. Also, I'm pumped about our ballin' staff!"

And speaking of "ballin' staff," here's a pic of Julia with another awesome staff member, Jillian:

Introducing the Staff: Cody Hawks

The next member of staff that we are delighted to share with you is none other than Cody Hawks. Here's Cody to tell you a bit about himself:

"Howdy! My name is Cody Hawks and I will be laying down the jams this summer.  I am a rising sophomore at Middle Tennessee State University, where my major is Recording Industry with a concentration in Music Business.  My hometown is Gallatin, Tennessee, just 30 miles northeast of Nashville.  I cannot wait to enjoy this summer worshiping the Holy Spirit through music and just plain FUN.  This summer will be the best the mountain has ever seen!!"

Introducing the Staff: Hans Bauer

In our newest installment of Introducing the Staff, we're pleased to bring you the one and only Hans Bauer:

 

Hans says..."What's up CGMers? My name is Hans Bauer and I will be on the Camp Gailor-Maxon staff for this upcoming summer 2010, which is going to be "the best year ever!" I grew up in Memphis, TN where I attend Calvary Episcopal Church. Currently, I am a rising sophomore at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville studying to be a geography major and loving every minute of it. My main interests include playing lacrosse, watching college football (of course cheering on the VOLS), hiking, camping, or doing anything outside and adventurous. I have served the past three years as a JC and cant wait to get on the mountain as a full time staff member. See everyone Soon!"


And just in case the skiing picture didn't give you a good idea of who this masked man is, here's a good one of our Hans at the counselor hunt -
