So many new amazing people are coming to camp this summer.  I would like to introduce Maria Garcia. She will be heading our dance program this summer at camp.  Maria holds degrees in Modern Dance, and her style is very unique.  Her international credits include both a dancer and choreographer in Spain, Germany, Argentina and the Dominican Republic.  For the last 25 years she has lived and worked in South Florida.   Currently,  Maria is a dance teacher at Okeeeheelee Middle school in West Palm Beach.  Heading our Art Department is Sarah Granger.  Sarah is a mother of 4 ( who will all be attending camp) and lives in Charlottesville, Va.  She comes from an art background and is familiar with education as her husband is a teacher advocate in the Charlottesville community.  Mary Helen Crowder is our third full time registered nurse who will be working with Kathy and Kieran.  She has two sons who will be coming to camp this summer with her.  Welcome back Allison Busky.  We are so excited to have her join the Timber Ridge team.  She and her son Aiden will be working with Scuba in the office.  Allison is an amazing person who is not only smart  but knows and loves Timber Ridge.  We are fortunate to have her!   While we are welcoming back people of the past, welcome back Matt Demko.  He will be running the canteen, working with Murray and JM this summer.  Also, welcome back Mauricio as senior boys division leader.  He is an amazing young man who knows camp, the camper, and Timber Ridge.

In one month Alex , JM , Jordan Cooper and myself are moving to camp!  Can you believe it?   It is true we have to get the place ready for a group Memorial day weekend.  Also, I need to check on my chickens and peacocks that are now grazing at Timber Ridge.  Millie, Vinnie,Oreo, and Nick are ready to run before the children get there and now that the winter is over. Logan Adams and  Ellen contacted us yesterday, They want to come early too, so it will be really be a wonderful precamp.

The roof on the dining hall is being replaced this week, and next week the tennis courts are getting painted.  So we are busy on our way towards summer 2015.  Stay tuned for more information coming to you!
