Staff Weekend


TWB STAFF WEEKEND 2019!!!

Over Memorial Day weekend, we gathered at the Deaton house to talk all things TWB. We had a packed house for sure as we are taking 4 trips again this summer!! This weekend, we covered ALL important details of the trip, including what it means to be a TWB counselor, safety, and even shared TWB stories from past years. 

We shared a meal together, learned your names and where you're from and even had some fun times on the lake Saturday night. A lot of us counselors do not know each other before we take you out west. You'd never know it though, as Staff weekend is the perfect time to bond and learn about each other as well.

We are SO excited to be traveling out west with you all this summer, we can hardly wait! For now, here are some highlights from this weekend as we plan for the big trip out west! See you in a few weeks!


Counselor Orientation

Julia, Lauren, Heather, Jackson and Madi all went out west together in 2013 (Trip 1) and now are all counselors this summer! Gray and Ian (not pictured) went on their trip as well! We love when our participants come back as counselors :)
