This weekend Kanata hosts the YMCA of the Triangle Area's annual Christian Leadership Conference (CLC). Over 260 YMCA staffers--counselors, leadership staff, directors--will arrive Friday evening for a weekend of learning and fun as we gear up for summer programs throughout the Triangle and the state. Workshops on devotions, health and well-being, games, creating "green" programs, and leadership will help to mentally prepare us for the summer while a messy activity Saturday will prepare us for the playful side of summer we all love. CLC happens in large part because of support from the C.J., Carrie D. and R. Howard Walker Foundation (www.christianleadershipconf.org) which provides materials and financial support to keep CLC affordable for programs and camps of all sizes.
I've had the opportunity to be on the planning committee for this conference for the past two years and it's great to be a part of something larger than myself. I think what I'm most excited about is the opportunity for fellow YMCA staff members to spend a weekend at Kanata. I'm excited that they will have the opportunity to relax, catch up with old friends and make new ones and I hope that our beautiful site gives them a chance to reflect before the hustle and bustle of the Summer takes over.
If you'll be out here this weekend for CLC make sure to stop by and say hello to me or anyone else on the Kanata team. If you're not lucky enough to be here this weekend, we look forward to seeing you soon! Summer's almost here and we can't wait for opening day!
See you soon!
