<span style="color: black;">After a long hiatus from the blog, we are back! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a spectacular 2012 summer, and want to thank everybody who made it possible, both campers and staff! Somebody must have done something right, because our numbers for 2013 are climbing! In fact, Main camp is full for next summer, and has been since August!! We still have spots in June and August camps, but if you are not registered yet, definitely bug your parents to get those applications sent it! We would love to see all of your smiling faces this summer! And be sure to let all your friends know about Green Cove...we love seeing new faces each summer as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Camp definitely feels different in the fall and winter than it does in the summer. Obviously, the temperatures drop to sweatshirt and jeans weather, and it grows a lot quieter without the voices of campers giggling from all corners of camp. But this fall, camp looks particularly different.....Notice something missing????</div>

That's right; there is no water in the lake!! Due to some maintenance that needed to be done on the dam, Lake Summit, was drained! The water levels were so low at one point, you could walk to Rabbit Island! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are still waiting for the water to come back on the main lake but the
cold side at camp is definitely full and definitely highlights the
beautiful fall colors! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here at camp, we are always pro-costume, whatever the occasion maybe, which is why Halloween happens to be one of our favorite times of the year!! This year, even the camp dogs got into it.....</div>

Night before Green Cove and all through the Camp, </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">not a creature was stirring, except maybe the gnats</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">All the names tags were hung, on cabin doors with care</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:

all snug in their beds,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">while visions of Mike and Richard's cookies danced in their heads,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">Nancy at her computer and I at my desk,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span

there came such a clatter,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">I sprung from my chair to see what was the matter!</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">Away from my desk, in a flash I flew,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">Tore open the door, and tried to remain cool</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;"><br /></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">When what to my wondering eyes did appear,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">but eight miniature campers, all loaded with gear. </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">And their driver, with a smile as big as the come,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">I knew in a moment she was a Green Cove Alum</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span class="Apple-style-span"

unloaded quickly as soon as they came, </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">and giggle and laughed while she called them by name:</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">"Now Sydney, Now Marie, Now Anna and Sarah,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span

from her head to her skirt,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">And her clothes were all tarnished with ashes and dirt.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">All her camping supplies just throwing in her pack,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">maybe a paddler or going to do some horseback</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span

Dimples- How merry!</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">Her hair was so red, like the barn manager Carrie's</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">Her sweet little mouth was drawn up like a bow,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">to show off her teeth as white as the snow!</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span

straight to work</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">packing and hauling trunks, all with a smirk</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">And after hugging each of the 8 little campers</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">Her eyes appeared just a little bit damper,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span class="Apple-style-span"

telling her girls to behave</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">and as she drove down the road, to each gave a wave</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;color:#006600;">I heard her exclaim, as she drove out of sight,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span

The additional two week session will take place in early August. This session is the perfect solution for campers who are still in school during our 3 week session or for those who may have other obligations that need to fit into their summer. Although the session is shorter, we will still have time to get into our activities, do a few trips and of course plenty of time to have a blast making new friends and living in a cabin!! <a href="http://www.greencove.com/program/dates-rates.html">Click here</a> to find out more about our "dates and rates". And once you are ready to seal the deal, you can now <strong><a href="https://mgc.campintouch.com/v2/camper/application/app0.aspx">REGISTER FOR CAMP ONLINE</a>!</strong><br /><br /><div>Since we generally get new bikes, canoes and kayaks each summer, we like to sell a bunch of our used ones in the fall to make room.

Lauren was a camper for EIGHT summers (1995-2002), was a paddling counselor for 2 ('04 & '05) and was a Line Head in '06. We are happy to tell you that Lauren will be coming back to Green Cove this summer. She will start around April 1st. With a new baby I will not be at camp full time this summer, SO Lauren will be taking over as Assistant Director until she goes to grad school this fall. Lauren is a Vanderbilt graduate and has been working in Raleigh as a civil engineer. She will be fantastic!

As I walked around camp the other day to snap some springtime photos, the place was really starting to feel alive again. Kathy and Gwen (Gwen spends a lot of time at the GC barn during the off season) were cantering around the Ball Diamond, Boomer (my dog!) was loving the cool lake water and Dan & Danny (part of the fantastic maintenance staff) were working on a new bench.

We have space remaining, though; call (828 693-7446) or email if you’d like to join us. Superb instruction on easy to moderate whitewater in canoes or kayaks. A general description is here: <a class="fixed" href="https://webmail.vt.edu/horde/util/go.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmondamin.com%2Fcanoeclinic.html&Horde=d3de506bd6252785c75e91c9e333360f" target="_blank">http://mondamin.com/canoeclinic.html</a>.<br /><br />We are down to about 20 remaining spots at Green Cove June Camp this summer. Those spaces may go quickly, or not... but if you'd like to be here, please call (828 692-6355) or email Green Cove , we would love to have you! (Space available in Main Camp also).<br /><br />You may not know that during the off season (especially Spring and Fall), a lot of stuff goes on around here. Mondamin and Green Cove hosted a 5K and a 10 mile run this past weekend, a benefit for Mainstay in Hendersonville (<a class="fixed" href="https://webmail.vt.edu/horde/util/go.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mainstayhelp.org&Horde=d3de506bd6252785c75e91c9e333360f" target="_blank">http://www.mainstayhelp.org</a>). This weekend (May 2), in addition to the Canoe and Kayak Clinic, there’s a benefit for the African Medical Mission (<a class="fixed" href="https://webmail.vt.edu/horde/util/go.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fammsa.org&Horde=d3de506bd6252785c75e91c9e333360f" target="_blank">http://ammsa.org</a>), and a Zen Buddhist group gathers here for a week long working retreat. The following weekend there’s a wedding, starring a former Green Cove camper. Several other groups will be at one camp or the other during May, and staff will start arriving May 17 for pre-orientation training: a nine day Wilderness First Responder course, a swim instructor course, a Red Cross Lifeguard course, etc. And of course, after that...

All except me were campers together. Katherine Higgason Lentz took a break from her busy schedule in order to be hostess and DTL for the 9th Annual Green Cove Girl's Weekend at her home in Chattanooga, TN. On Friday night the ladies arrived - (Elysia Flying in from Colorado). <span style="font-weight: bold;">Suzie Howick</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nancy Wilson McKnight</span> stopped by for a visit and we all decided to forgo our usual Tajar Day Girl's Weekend activities (standing in a creek, asking everyone we see if they have the Tajar etc.) in order to catch up and eat appetizers.<br /><br />Saturday's three major activities included shopping, walking, and dining. We did observe rest hour and the Moms in the crowd, Elysia and Randi, especially enjoyed it. The included picture was taken by someone outside of the restaurant where we had dinner. Liddell first asked someone else to take the group photo, but he declined because he was legally blind.<br /><br />Sunday morning we were treated to a delicious breakfast, "Thank you Sister Schubert!" and we headed back to the real world refreshed and feeling like Green Cover Girls again. A huge thank-you goes out to Katherine Higgason Lentz and her husband Jason Lentz for letting us take over their home for the weekend.<br /></span><br />If you have a fun Green Cove reunion, story or memory we would LOVE to hear from you!

Today, it is about 10 degrees with the wind chill below 0! We had our first little bit of snow and the lake has quite a bit of ice on it. Its pretty different around here during the winter!<br /><br />Our travels picked back up this month (we generally stay home during the holiday season). We have been to Raleigh,<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQCK3tg8VNhWzsauLsupqLN2ksT8nh4wCYUxVWPy6DnIxv3jclw3hPjoVScbiIF4C4jTfrSbQdrFa2M6pVxSwy9KueqkABMyPxU_2QMf0_I3bJCOtlGND6o2SKhw1GMy7VM0y88Q_96u6v/s1600-h/houston.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 210px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQCK3tg8VNhWzsauLsupqLN2ksT8nh4wCYUxVWPy6DnIxv3jclw3hPjoVScbiIF4C4jTfrSbQdrFa2M6pVxSwy9KueqkABMyPxU_2QMf0_I3bJCOtlGND6o2SKhw1GMy7VM0y88Q_96u6v/s320/houston.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296758270683212722" border="0" /></a> Nashville, Charlottesville,VA, Atlanta, New York and Santa Rosa and Vero Beaches in Florida. I was in Houston, TX last weekend for a camp movie showing and get together. We had a fun group of Green Cove girls including Brenda and Kristen Willson (Brenda was the hostess), Ellie Smith, Cameron Weiner, Grace Amandes and Kelsey McCollam. Head of Paddling, Jessica Grisel and her boyfriend Ernie drove all the way from Austin to come to the showing. Jessica, Ernie & I had fun at a Mexican restaurant afterwards and paddlers will be relieved to know that crazy Jessica <span style="font-weight: bold;">will</span> be back this summer. She was already gushing about how excited she is to get back on the rivers with Green Cove Paddlers.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6k8uNzivCGWGKfrDLHWjNQDVLnxRhE3tMli2CeX7GZFKjtP-MsLvrxsm2rUDW7A7z-g9s4lEfWM41di3639eVZ3PsM0-uRke8va1bqy8SCyV7n2vHwFqJ6vRrhlRew4LUso_JLBJ2Mn9H/s1600-h/new+bathrooms+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 198px; height: 148px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6k8uNzivCGWGKfrDLHWjNQDVLnxRhE3tMli2CeX7GZFKjtP-MsLvrxsm2rUDW7A7z-g9s4lEfWM41di3639eVZ3PsM0-uRke8va1bqy8SCyV7n2vHwFqJ6vRrhlRew4LUso_JLBJ2Mn9H/s200/new+bathrooms+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299041511575497506" border="0" /></a>The amazing maintenance crew has been really busy this winter. I mentioned before that the Penthouse cabin's bathrooms were getting re-done. They just got their final coat of paint and they look great! Check out the picture. This must be the year of bathrooms because they have also re-done the guest bathrooms in the main lodge and the bathroom in Pigeon Hole.<br /><br />Riders especially, probably remember Kathy (our barn manager) and Godiva<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>(her lovely standard poodle). Kathy and Godiva work hard all year practicing dog agility. Agility is a sport in which a dog and the handler run through an obstacle course. The dog is off leash and has to do a series of jumps, tunnels and weave poles. The pair with the fastest time with no mistakes, is the winner. Last weekend there was a competition (or "trial") in Asheville and a group of us went to watch. It was so exciting watching Kathy and Godiva (Plus, Nancy Jr and her dog Lottie were competing as well!) Check out the video of Kathy & Godiva, it was actually taken at a trial last fall. They are much faster now, but you can get the idea!<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='191' height='159' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzZchGYtHGedLPZ-1oComTufnjnWrQNFSL8y0bqESpCBRM-_Wvxs_8DX3pnPQ5RSSF8P_MOVHbfGmDIrOPQ3w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />This is the time of year when we really start getting excited for summer and for all of you to hurry up and get here!

A bunch more are saying that they will be back but I will wait to officially announce them until I get their contract! :) I have also been spending many hours each week talking to brand new counselors who all seem fantastic & I can't wait for everyone to meet them!!<br /><br />We have also been getting lots of registrations from campers new and old. This is the first year that all registered campers will get a free AWESOME Green Cove t-shirt in the mail. If you are already registered, your parents should have already gotten an e-mail asking for your shirt size. It will still be a couple of weeks before the shirts get in, but you should have them in time for warmer weather!<br /><br />It is still so much fun to get updates from Green Covers all around.

We love opening the mail each day and getting to see how everyone is doing!<br /><br />We just had our annual Christmas party. Each year the Mondamin & Green Cove year-round office staff head over to Frank & Nancy's house for an amazing Christmas feast. It's always so fun to get to hang out together away from the office. June campers may remember Marie & Liza Danos (they helped lead the singing!) This year, Marie & Liza along with Lindsay & Ian Bell created an awesome gingerbread house (which they also helped eat) Nancy Sr's mint brownies were an added bonus to the party!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO6fBdtO9Tjp0PB9e0LrWlAqR1H3iafBFEXSGH0EzVb8R5J4v8J9Vvx1fMzaQSA5GZqt4QSYxgaW-b-ZFDMcObkyouWHBmLJDzPqpPWcpUK3KnnSPBHSfBeWyLxBWaGC2KBZf2xCggMbGv/s1600-h/christmas+party+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 183px; height: 135px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO6fBdtO9Tjp0PB9e0LrWlAqR1H3iafBFEXSGH0EzVb8R5J4v8J9Vvx1fMzaQSA5GZqt4QSYxgaW-b-ZFDMcObkyouWHBmLJDzPqpPWcpUK3KnnSPBHSfBeWyLxBWaGC2KBZf2xCggMbGv/s200/christmas+party+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282666053662348370" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1N1Klnba92CvTorGYL2RAnLw7Ml-Squ8E-i-3Vm41EoBl0D2Pf7dh9lhJldcpOzp3LBKxEEx8-NJEyBquZLAxQgXAeJCT5bhUyDlXEXlZ4hx1s8735MkZD63MKQAjXL0n2lXnisNhunyJ/s1600-h/christmas+party+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 194px; height: 137px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1N1Klnba92CvTorGYL2RAnLw7Ml-Squ8E-i-3Vm41EoBl0D2Pf7dh9lhJldcpOzp3LBKxEEx8-NJEyBquZLAxQgXAeJCT5bhUyDlXEXlZ4hx1s8735MkZD63MKQAjXL0n2lXnisNhunyJ/s200/christmas+party+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282666055970934786" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxUmcJY78iOMKNbPBnplmWWTVQt0GdzZ_u0LHkBYmd11cIxAZIgmlEObo9g3IR_2wcC9DJUgnDabFOWRwwIPsiJmKiCqc3fU3b93iFPlIigbU-iQNNLxuHOowIL07EIl6EJrTKJLBpOZvu/s1600-h/christmas+party+010.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 184px; height: 140px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxUmcJY78iOMKNbPBnplmWWTVQt0GdzZ_u0LHkBYmd11cIxAZIgmlEObo9g3IR_2wcC9DJUgnDabFOWRwwIPsiJmKiCqc3fU3b93iFPlIigbU-iQNNLxuHOowIL07EIl6EJrTKJLBpOZvu/s200/christmas+party+010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282666040977038306" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is the time of year when we really start thinking about who the wonderful 2009 counselors will be. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0yRYLeadZ7kxjDmqg9MBaB5MsD0PJaNGQ9_f4CrSXMZdHNzki4oKUCJB_9viRoxDNIlo6WE65qoHa9mEpVsBbwp2tByiWLVcaqBVzn8Xvf2XO0xN0wxu30JO3UmAo3S2wSHVepSKAaGvN/s1600-h/icecream.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0yRYLeadZ7kxjDmqg9MBaB5MsD0PJaNGQ9_f4CrSXMZdHNzki4oKUCJB_9viRoxDNIlo6WE65qoHa9mEpVsBbwp2tByiWLVcaqBVzn8Xvf2XO0xN0wxu30JO3UmAo3S2wSHVepSKAaGvN/s320/icecream.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282669934748785826" border="0" /></a>We finally sent out contracts to the 2008 staff, please check your mailboxes and let us know if you dont get one.

This message just came in from long time camper and 2008 Mountaineering counselor, Chelsea Rinnig. Chelsea writes...<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"> "I'm going to Nepal this summer! I'm planning on staying in an orphanage with 14 young girls and teaching at their local school. I would never have done</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"> this if it weren't for Green Cove though, having learned how important it is for young girls to have a strong female role model. I w</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">ant to give these girls the same drive and independence that Green Cove gave me, </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">because those qualities are so valuable for girls no matter where you live in the world! So I'm sorry I don't think I'll be able to come back this summer, but that doesn't mean Green Cove is not on my mind."</span><br /><br />So even though we will miss Chelsea this summer, we are so proud of her!

We got to see the shop (which is already decked out for Christmas!) and we also got to meet Katy's friend and one of the owners of the shop Bryan Batt.

Here's the fall lake (recognize Rabbit Island?)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs_GVtKjajrthjor67_LsntM1caB0BARQitVXMMrAGQI7nMUh7IGtPhD-oosiXqUghORTdleqWt0Ms-FNQLn7v078uiQHdzZR5wbZzcOzUhuweJzizLb0Bz7soDho940CIjschYLX5Qi8C/s1600-h/plane+and+fall+013.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs_GVtKjajrthjor67_LsntM1caB0BARQitVXMMrAGQI7nMUh7IGtPhD-oosiXqUghORTdleqWt0Ms-FNQLn7v078uiQHdzZR5wbZzcOzUhuweJzizLb0Bz7soDho940CIjschYLX5Qi8C/s400/plane+and+fall+013.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262232223681430082" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);">The New Green Cove </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);">VIDEO is FINALLY finished</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);">!</span> We have been working hard to get it finished up in time for our fall travels and I think all of our hard work has really paid off... it looks great!! So far we have shown it to Green Cove Girls (new and old) in Richmond, VA, Raleigh, NC & Durham, NC. We wont have copies of the video for another couple of weeks, so to see it for yourself... come out and see us when we are in your area.

Well, you may or may not know that Frank Bell is an airplane enthusiast/pilot extraordinaire and actually has his own little plane. This makes trips to meet Green Cove Girls around the country very convenient (and FUN!). This is Nancy & me yesterday, we were traveling to Raleigh. The actual name of the plane is Pandemonium Airlines but we sometimes call it "The Hotdog" because the colors are ketchup, mustard & mayonnaise!<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);">We need a new Green Cove T-Shirt!!</span> And we need help designing it! Campers from '07 or '08 probably remember the pink daisy, green tree and blue moon shirts. We are looking for designs to replace those shirts. If you have any great design ideas, draw us a picture (or you may even be able to do it on the computer) and send it in. We will pick a design in early Spring. If we pick your design, we will send you a free shirt and of course you will earn bragging rights for years to come! Please try to limit your design to less than 5 colors and send your ideas to me at p.o. box 38, Tuxedo, NC 28784 or greencove@greencove.com.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEcKCqSiHBGZM7A0Z7EJJNapt-n91QZA-oszHSJLbf5yRHm_RpTobdPrJVXo61eoDBGhmcuYAwLs2CcYvuJtDYgxZFbq28-Oh2DgvMY4Ec7w-AgJUUhjJjwnviG-f35BGSOxcIVWzdlkvV/s1600-h/green+cove_sun.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 89px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEcKCqSiHBGZM7A0Z7EJJNapt-n91QZA-oszHSJLbf5yRHm_RpTobdPrJVXo61eoDBGhmcuYAwLs2CcYvuJtDYgxZFbq28-Oh2DgvMY4Ec7w-AgJUUhjJjwnviG-f35BGSOxcIVWzdlkvV/s320/green+cove_sun.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261923470459088194" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4kaxPJzcqRb1aILeASPVOSwI7jyCzaluTUEortMpzf5QviZw0ZfFdtpzkVJGcxAMB7vuX79-5DsppvdMRLDVvDYMFVe77nNqH-2cPmgb8TgpZTf_MAgRzjknDHM-1S8ikBdcjZgg6RE1v/s1600-h/green+cove_tree.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 102px; height: 89px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4kaxPJzcqRb1aILeASPVOSwI7jyCzaluTUEortMpzf5QviZw0ZfFdtpzkVJGcxAMB7vuX79-5DsppvdMRLDVvDYMFVe77nNqH-2cPmgb8TgpZTf_MAgRzjknDHM-1S8ikBdcjZgg6RE1v/s320/green+cove_tree.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261923482167599698" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitaXxCtaM9bl2Gd2dG3JkVqniMDtLDvlVmJDrKcFRRPr-8CrgmSVpE4QBXrrleyf-_R7EH6tOVWUvsfPOwAqjjI7CVeHoS_RgeTc1jqy3m59L7YHKR1Pk6KAPMGWlJVaI1u9G87kj6vOr0/s1600-h/green+cove_flower.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 89px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitaXxCtaM9bl2Gd2dG3JkVqniMDtLDvlVmJDrKcFRRPr-8CrgmSVpE4QBXrrleyf-_R7EH6tOVWUvsfPOwAqjjI7CVeHoS_RgeTc1jqy3m59L7YHKR1Pk6KAPMGWlJVaI1u9G87kj6vOr0/s320/green+cove_flower.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261923460013737810" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"><br />Attention 2008 Green Cove Camper Parents!</span> We would love to get your feedback from your daughters experience last summer.
