This past summer, I had the opportunity to drive buses for a summer camp and had done those over a few occasions throughout the summer. And just a couple weeks ago I got a thank you note from them hand written to thank me for my time. Even though this was a paid gig, the fact that they took the time to physically write that note with pen and paper really meant a lot and makes me want to do that type of gig again. I encourage you all to think about who some of the helpers are that are in your world and take a few moment to write them a note. Giving someone a physical thank you note allows them to post it on their refrigerator or somewhere in their home where they will see it and think of you.  -Special Guest: Kim Aycock, Camp Consultant at KimspirationYour Hosts:Beth Allison, Camp Consultant - Go Camp ProRuby Compton, Chief Exploration Officer - Ruby OutdoorsGabrielle Raill, Camp Director - Camp Ouareau-Thanks to our sponsors…UltraCampImagine camp registration software that actually gives you MORE time for what you love - CAMP!
