It all started just over one week ago. I was walking down the hallway of Pacific Woods Lodge when the ever wise Jim Badke (also known as JimBad) grabbed my attention. We sat down in the library to chat for a bit. It was at that time that Jim spilled the beans, the Kaleo leadership team wanted me to be the male Kaleo intern for the next 16 months at Camp Qwanoes. He gave me a timeframe for which to get back to him, 2 weeks - it seemed like a long ways off and turned into feeling like it was the next day.

After asking lots of question, listening to lots of people, thinking even more the listening, and pondering some more. I came to the conclusion, I would accept the position as the male Kaleo intern for the 2007/2008 Kaleo year. Crazy eh?!? (I can’t believe I just wrote "eh" on my blog)

If you’re wondering what Kaleo is, it’s an 8 month youth leadership program put on by Briercrest College. And it’s a complete honour to be asked to be apart of the leadership team for this coming year.

So what will I be doing? Basically I am to be the big bro to all the Kaleo guys. Going on crazy adventures with them and just walking alongside them as they go through this amazing program. I am amazingly excited to see what this year has in store for us all!

So, there’s a quick little update on the happens over the next 16 months. I will be living at Camp Qwanoes on Vancouver Island going on some wild adventures! Who wouldn’t want to do that?
