Hey! The ball is rolling (and gaining speed) for DYMO Camp 2010. The application for staff members is now available. Actually, there are two versions.

1. The standard application. [New Staff] Available at http://www.dymo.org/pdf/2010DYMO_New_Staff_Application.pdf

2. For people who’ve been on staff within the past two years. (So, only for those who have served on staff in 2008 or 2009.) So, if it has been longer since you were a member of the DYMO Camp staff, please fill out the “standard” application for new staff.

In the mean time, I asked a few people to help me write a blog note for you.

Casey says that “DYMO camp is amazingly awesome, fantastic and great.”

Amanda says “Sweet, and fun.”

Nick sez “Good food.”

Chris says, “Exuberant!” I think he means “Tiring.”

Steve the Wah Master says, “Make a joyful noise to the Lord. It’s fun.”

Eric says, “The activities are fun-filled. Action-packed. Life changing.”

Just ask them the next time you see them!
