It’s that time of the year again! The dreaded return of homework and crazy school schedules is upon us, and for me it means moving from my desk in Canadensis to a desk in Plymouth Meeting. As soon as I finished setting up my computer on my first day back in the winter office I immediately found myself missing the hustle and bustle of the summer office, specifically Sara, Tara, and Emily, who made every single day so much fun! Post camp was so eerily quiet without the sounds of campers, but it’s only 247 more days until the buses pull in and bring everyone back to our favorite summer destination.

So, as I did last year, here are some of my favorite summer memories:

Well, that’s it for now! The summer was full of so many wonderful moments which will make for the greatest memories. I’m so excited to begin making plans for summer 2011, and with Camper and Staff surveys rolling in, we’ve got so many great new ideas to implement. I’ve also been playing a whole lot of Mah Jong, so the CIT Girls of 2011 better be ready for some intense games!!!

Hey Canadensis,

Below is a Special Canadensis Today from my wedding and some pictures…

ANCHOR FOR TODAY

videos and semi-finalists 

will be POSTED

in the next few days!!

So it’s Eric Forti here again and I should tell you that my personal assistant Jcal posted these photos below for all of you to see. You will know that I didn’t post these pics, because there is a picture of a dog. While I have nothing against animals, I would prefer to post pictures of our wonderful staff, oh, and of course the one and only Will Armon.  In any event, enjoy the pictures below and know that I say hello to all of you in Blogland and can’t wait to see many of you at Open House, our camp alumni at the Alumni Reunion, and OPENING DAY OF CAMP!

Before you begin reading this blog entry, you should know that Jcal actually wrote it (with my permission of course) in front of me as I dictated to him. See, I am very busy and Jcal has nothing to do these days, so he offered to help! The point I need to make is that I am NOT responsible for the lack of proper grammar and don’t even get me started on the spelling. In any case, hello to all of you from the REAL ERIC FORTI and enjoy my dictated and mutilated flog (fake blog) below!
