2011 Staff

One of the important Meadowbrook Differences is that every single staff member, including long time returning staff, re-interview at Camp every year! This allows every staff member to give us ideas of ways we can improve Camp and it allows us to discuss their experience from the prior year and what changes can be made for an even better experience for both the staff member and our Campers!

With schools closed and many students home from college last week, we rehired many great staff members from all areas of Camp.

Just based on last week, we welcome Group Counselors Jimmy D., Abby S., Michael S., Dan B., Brian L., Taylor C., Julia J., Eric F., Erica S., Jackie H., Anna P., Georgia P., Tyler N., Catherine J., Joanne R., Caitlin G., Halina S., Nick W., and Heather Z.

Also returning from last week's interviews are Specialists Pam from Ropes; Lifeguards Rob, Phil, Heather and Stef; Crystal and Gerda; Megan from Dance; Megan and Laura from Gymnastics; and Assistant Waterfront Director Kim.

We have many other Staff that are already on board and more coming in each and every day!! Once again, we are looking forward to the best Staff in Camping!!

Face Lift

Our NCAA Basketball Court is getting a face lift!

At Meadowbrook, we are very focused on Campers playing on size appropriate athletic facilities for their age. Our NCAA Basketball Court is the mid-sized of our 3 courts. (The smallest is our Mini Basketball Court and the biggest is our NBA Court).

This week, the crew from Nickolaus Construction spent a day at Meadowbrook repairing any less than perfect areas of the surface. They then started the painting process. We still need a few more coats of our now signature blue and grey as well as all of our white lines. We expect to finish everything up next week and have yet another beautiful basketball court for our Campers this Summer! Stay tuned for more pictures!!

Product Development

We are always working to improve every aspect of Meadowbrook: Staff....Programming....Facility....

Today Roz and I spent the day at a few local playgrounds checking out their playground equipment. One of the ideas we are considering for the Summer of 2011 is a new playground for our older Campers. Today it was Taylor Park, Hartshorn School, Wyoming School, Memorial Park. All different playground manufacturers and elements as we work to create a great new playground for Meadowbrook!

"Brand New" Rec Barn

With school closed last week, we took the opportunity to finish our work on the Meadowbrook Rec Barn. During the Summer, the Rec Barn houses Gymnastics, the Nurses office, and our Stick Art/String Art Room. It is also a great location for fun rainy day activities like Karaoke.

Last Spring, we put in a brand new wood type floor throughout the building. We also re-did the bathroom walls and floors. After Camp ended, we started phase 2 and replaced all of the insulation and put in a brand new drop ceiling. We also painted the full inside of the building. This week, we finished the project with a brand new roof for the building.

With 230 days 'til Camp...the Rec Barn is ready to Rock!!
