Ignore the Rumors - Camp CAEN 2007

[Evil Bunny]

Hey Campers,

This is Joe Lee, the Head Instructor for the upcoming 2007 Camp CAEN. There have been a lot of rumors flying around about Camp CAEN, so I thought I'd make a post and address some of them.

Rumor 0) Holy Burritos! I head that Jamie is no longer director of Camp CAEN!
Response) Sad to say - this rumor is true. Jamie is no longer with us, though we wish him our best.

Rumor 1) On no! No more residential program!
Response) Falsehoods and Counter-truths! Camp CAEN 2007 will have a residential program! Now with extra pwnage!

Rumor 2) Egad! Camp CAEN is managed by evil corporate monkeys who are only about making money.
Response) Only partial truth. While we are managed by evil monkeys, Camp CAEN is not-for-profit, and therefore any money we make goes directly back into paying for Camp CAEN. However, we still must make at least enough money to pay for counselors, instructors, food, housing etc... In order to keep Camp CAEN running for future generations, we'll have to make some tough decisions. If you have any ideas on alternative compensation or ways to save money without hurting the camp, we'd love to hear them.

Thats all for now,

-EvilBunny (Joe)

What happened to Jamie?

Rumor has it he was consumed by a Grue.

An optional alternate method of compensation would be to offer a Computer Business/Marketing class.

For the first week, do all classes and learn how to run and manage a company, specifically a company based around computers (be it hardware or software), then for the second week, have the campers set up a company for a hands on experience.

Any profits made could go toward Camp CAEN, and companies that have successful idea's could continue existing and begin to bring in more money for the Camp.

I'd take that class.

That would be an awesome class, I'd sign up in a heartbeat!
Jamie is no longer with us
That sounds kind of ominous
Now with extra pwnage!
I love pwnage!!!!

And if you really want to make more money, that means one thing, let's learn from the past and have......A BAKE SALE! we could sell all kinds of muffins can cookies, we could even put computer parts in them.

Or a more serious idea: Make an online company (website) or something that could do things like sell computer parts, web design services, or all the skills we learned at camp, I don't know, just an idea.

There might be issues with Camp CAEN also running a company, but it is a very cool idea for a class at the very least. We'll keep that in mind for next year.
