Hello everyone!

This is it! It's finally here! For the first and only time in history... Camp Augusta in 2011. It's never happened before and may never happen again (unless time proves to be cyclical but that's a topic for later) so we had best make the most of it.

My name is Nic and I've experienced a 2008, 2009 and a 2010 Camp Augusta. They were all pretty awesome and I believe that each was better than the one before it. That could only mean that this year is bound to be the most exciting yet (until next year but lets stay focused on the present).

This year I'm camp's design and media hero. That means I get to design and make all kinds of things around camp. I studied spatial and graphic design at university and have always loved creating things with my hands (via drawing tablet, pencil or cutting board). Here's a fun fact: The typeface on the new camp shirts (Neuropol) is the same one that's on the NASA Space Shuttle Owners' Workshop Manual! How cool is that?

Getting to design stuff for camp doesn't mean being cooped up in the office all day so I'll be seeing you high up in the trees, dangling from the aerial silks or dashing through the dining area enemy flag in hand. Speaking of flags, we have some amazing new evening programs to play this year. I'm so excited to have the forest transformed into dozen different worlds and to hear the sounds of battle, discovery and joy echoing between the trees.

What I love most about camp is the way it continues to evolve over time as people come and share all their amazing ideas. So I can't wait to witness what you all bring to camp this year and just how it will unfold. One thing for sure, it's going to be like no other summer any of us have had before!
