This-N-That
This-N-That
Hello,
I wanted to say thank you for the work you did putting together this issue. It arrived yesterday and I have already searched for two of the products advertised (the big water slide looks amazing!), have used a quote from the decision making article three times already, and picked up a couple of really good programming ideas we will be using this summer. Thanks for putting it all together, and thanks for sending us the resource in the first place!
Regards,
Eric Musselman

Word On The Web
Diet Dishing
Pat,
Thank you for an excellent article (Jan/Feb, “There’s No Such Thing As A Special Diet”).
In a world where everyone is publishing "Top 5 Steps for ..." and "The Best 10 Ways to ...," it can be hard to come by truly good information. I found each of the tips to be very helpful. Food allergies and intolerances are often seen as burdens, but these tips show that they can be an occasion for creativity, opportunity and variety.
I'll be sharing this with some of my colleagues, and I'm sure they'll share it with many of our YMCA and summer camp partners.
Thank you!
John Oliver

The special-diet intern they had last summer was awesome! I had some of the best camp food ever, and even got some ideas for new snacks for myself! I was so grateful to Camp For All for making accommodations for me, even as a counselor.
