Memory Lane 6

The Dining Hall is the heart of Great Escape - inside we eat, talk, sing, and have workshops. Outside, we'll have our ceremonies, take the path to the biffies, and bask in the sun.  Believe!  and register.

Memory Lane 5

The committee is revving up - many of us go up on Thursday to do all the prep work for the event so for some of us there's just three weeks to arrival.  Here's the lodge - they will be moving beds around to make sure everyone will have a place to sleep.  Help them out by registering now and requesting your sleeping space - remember - the best berths go fast!

Happy Labor Day

Happy Labor Day!  Yeah, summer's over, most schools are back in session (starting before Labor Day oughta be outlawed!) and it's time to start the new GS year....tomorrow!  I'm on vacay, hope you are too!  If not, here's a picture from Wabasso to whet your appetite - only 25 days to go.

What's The Problem?

Why are some of the photos not displaying?  I don't know!  I've tried to troubleshoot the posts that are not working but no luck.

Happy Labor Day!  If you haven't registered for GE yet, do it today! These guys are probably enjoying the peace and quiet on Lake Blaisdell now that the campers are gone, but in 25 days they'll probably be getting a bit lonely and will be happy to hoot over the water a little bit for you.....

The Joy of Singing Together - At Great Escape

If you have already been to GE you know singing is an important part of the event.  Bring your 'fans' so you can join in!  This year we are planning an update to the 'fan' with some new, fun songs to learn and teach.  It's gonna be great - and if you've never been, well, we'll give you a 'fan' when you sign in.  No matter what the weather is, at GE we're all hot and we all need fans!  So bring 'em if you've got 'em and whether you are old or new, register now!

If you'd like to try out one of the new songs we might sing, here's one.  I think it's appropriate for the end of summer; sing it to the tune of Bing Crosby's old hit, "The Bells of St Mary's."

The embers of campfires are now slowly dying,
the birds and the wood folk have gone to their rest.
The stars up above us are now shining brightly,
O God of nature grant to us a peaceful rest.
