To all CCI/Members and Friends;

I have estimated that in the last two months I have traveled four provinces, spoken at two colleges, have met with over 100 different camp staff, presented CCI vision four times, have had two car rentals, visited 10 camps, conducted two training events, have connected with approximately 10 businesses, spent over 20 hours on planes, over 50 hours driving, have received over 500 emails, been in over 5 hotels, flown close to 10,000 miles, have waited about 20 hours for planes, developed new promo materials, have had 4 Skype calls, have spoken to approximately 500 people, and have spent over 50 hours developing our social networks and website.  

I am approaching my fifth month as national director and realize how Big our country is.  My goal is to continue to connect with as many camps as possible through speaking engagements, training events and regional activities. I would love to meet with you when I am in your area. I have posted my schedule in each Equipper as a way for you to know where I am.  I would encourage you to attend our regional meetings happening across the country; it is a great time to meet each other and for me to have a chance to share my vision for CCI/Canada, get your input and connect with other camps.

I am using the social networks such as twitter, facebook, youtube, CCI website and the Equipper as my way of communicating and sharing with each one of you. I have been working diligently to identify those things that can add value and benefit to your membership. My vision is to champion Christian Camping across Canada in any way I can. I appreciate your prayers as I extensively travel and speak in the next three months.

This issue I am focusing in part on training, believing that we are only as good as our people.

Blessings to all as you begin to gear up for the spring and summer season of camping.

Derrick Mueller

National Director of CCI/Canada
