Admittedly, we surprised ourselves by adding another Scrapbook Camp in 2008, our facility is usually totally sold out. But to our pleasure, the weekend of October 24-26 became available and we grabbed it! If you love to crop, but have no time at home to enjoy your scrapbooking craft, join us for a well-earned retreat. $285 registration. You can read more on the website HERE: http://www.campgetaway.com/activ_scrap.html Only 16 spaces are available.
Scrapbookers Uniting Oct. 24-26
How to Wash a Down Sleeping Bag
In the washing machine, yup -- unzip, stuff it in, add a SMALL amount of detergent, run on cold or warm, the machine won't be able to totally spin out the water (be close by in case it gets off-balance), then be prepared to RUN with a drippy thing to hang on the line. What's that, you say? Don't have a CLOTHESLINE?? Puhleez, girl. Go online and order a Retractable Clothesline like THIS ONE, there are several choices out there. One or two nails into the fence and screw in some sort of hook across the way, there ya go. Totally Martha.
YOU GLOW, GIRL
Sometimes we have to convince ourselves that a perceived "treat" like a facial is actually more health-enhancing than we believe. How often does a real pro take a really close look at your skin? We think we know our own faces, but AWESOME estheticians Candy and Inga get up close and personal when they transform you here at Camp. Camper Mary (in the photo getting her Camp Facial) GLOWED (she may have even snoozed a bit during treatment). We encourage campers to utilize our pamperers' services when they get home. BEE-YOO-TEE-FUL.
Nap-Deprived? Several Varieties Available at Camp
NANO-NAP: 10-20 seconds. Sleep studies haven’t confirmed specific benefits to these brief intervals. However, if you aren't the driver, nod off on the way up the mountain and give us report when you arrive.
MICRO-NAP: 2-5 minutes. Surprisingly effective at shedding sleepiness. Excellent location: in front of our lodge fireplace.
MINI-NAP: 5-20 minutes. Increases alertness, stamina, motor learning, and motor performance. Camp deck benches, perfect!
ORIGINAL POWER NAP: 20 minutes delivers benefits of micro and mini; additionally improves muscle memory and clears the brain of useless built-up info, which helps with long-term memory (remembering facts, events, and names). Your bunk beckons.
REAL WOMAN'S NAP: a FULL HOUR for slow-wave plus REM sleep; good for improving perceptual processing; also when the system is flooded with human growth hormone, great for repairing bones and muscles. Tuck into that sleeping bag after lunch -- zzzzzzzzz, girlfriend.
