It's On Like Donkey Kong

Memorial Day weekend always is the beginning of the end for the PMOEC spring season. The Adirondack Scholarship group comes to Pok-O over the weekend and hosts a fundraiser that jointly benefits summer camp and the outdoor ed center. Its a great gathering of the old camp family and the new PMOEC crew and, collectively, we all look forward to the future vision for Pok-O. This year was a record setting year with the group bringing in over $9000 for the beneficiaries. Thank you to all of the volunteers and organizers of this wonderful event. PMOEC came back to work the Monday of the holiday weekend and spent the day learning about the local history of the Champlain Valley through the historical reenactments at Fort Ticonderoga. As people who do our fair share of reenactments ourselves, it was a great learning experience for our staff. And now, the final push is underway. We have a long-standing client from Canada onsite right now and will have groups here every day through Friday the 8th. Yesterday I celebrated my 37th birthday with pigpen construction, hiking and an Underground Railroad simulation. If you have to work a 13 hour workday on your birthday, you couldn't ask for more. Next week will be our busiest of the spring so I'm not sure I'll have time to post. I'm sure all of you will be hungry for more PMOEC lore, so I'll try and make time. Until then...
