Well, we had a nice time. The weather was glorious, especially this morning. Wonderful wonderful music late last night -- the rest of the weekend we were sometimes short of musical critical mass but still very nice -- but when I left today since I had to work this p.m.....sea shanties in one corner of the property and gospel music down by the bayside, with all the oyster sheds and boats etc. in the background. Starry skies every night. Wonderful food....we finally found a wonderful camp member who can actually put out great breakfasts at a good time and speed..we always had one or the other but not both before.

I do recommend putting on these little camps, although they can drive you crazy not knowing who is coming...and there are always conflicts with other events...but they are such a great way of meeting new people from outside a small area...it is so nice to see new contacts being made, new songs being shared etc.

Even more than having a camp cook (people will always eat if you leave enough peanut butter and granola and taco sauce out) I recommend having an end of camp cleaner or two so people can relax until the last minute. My roommate did it this year and I left knowing the camp will be nice and clean and no worries. I also recommend having a place to donate your perishable food right after so you box it up and someone takes it to a family or food bank or whatever. Just up and out.

Also, always always take care of the vegetarians and give people an option of bringing their own food and cooking it there if they have allergies, religious rules etc....

Well, I about tore my hair out this year but it was great anyway. Next year, assuming the camp is available, I will just have to have more help with publicity. The rest of it is a snap. mg
