March to the Mill begins

The first few days of the new March to the Mill have been great! We are loving the facilities at Montgomery Village Middle School and cannot thank our friends there enough. Dr. Malker, Mrs. Katoski and the facilities staff are fabulous.

The counselors have learned the campers' names real quick, thanks to the Name That Camper Water Balloon game.

Coach Parsons and Matt are keeping the kids happy and very, very active. They ought to sleep good for you tonight.

We're doing lacrosse tomorrow, so have you kids bring their gear if they have it.


Sorting the rare and valuable pinnies and tees. These are not available in stores and are only available for one season. The number 13 on the back is the year of the camp (last year's shirts had 12s on them). So this particular shirt will never be seen again. 

Your campers get their pinnies on the first day of camp and should wear them every day. The coaches have them reverse their pinnies to white when they need to form teams for scrimmages. On Friday, the campers will get their tee shirts. It's a good idea to write your campers' names on their shirts and pinnies, because they sometimes lose track of them



The counselors meet the weekend before the camp begins for a meeting and cookout.

It was pretty hot for a while there. Good thing we have all day access to an air conditioned gym and plenty of water balloons.
