Spring has sprung!!! Can you believe it is April already? We are under 90 days away from BRLS 2018 and the days will count down fast from here. No doubt all the Leaders are focused on spring break, last minute fund-raisers, getting in much needed hours, and what to do the rest of the summer. Well, the volunteer staff are focused on refining their class outlines and reviewing the goals of the school. One key focus is to make sure that the classes teach the Leaders something that they can take back with them and teach at camp, afterschool, swim lesson, etc. This has long been the Mission of the school, but the SLT and I are committed to making sure every class has a few “nuggets” of back home application for the YMCA. Spring is indeed a bright, and happy time of the year and counting down the days to Leaders’ School makes it that much more exciting!!

Cant wait to see you on the mountain.
