The Slaights:


COLLEEN SLAIGHT


Age: 51
Gender: Female
Hobbies: Drinking coffee, Drinking diet coke, Burning popcorn
This year: Worked at TCA, Kept shoes off family room floor, Coddled family dogs
Next year: Retire early after winning lottery I don’t play and teach family dogs to watch TV with me.






But if I can’t retire early…
I’ll keep doing all the things moms do, some of the things dads do, and many of the things my children SHOULD do. In the meantime, I’ll keep doing my best to keep the kids, tutors, teachers, and administration at The Classical Academy in Colorado Springs happy, healthy, and smiling out loud!


STEVE SLAIGHT

 

Age: 50
Gender: Male
Hobbies: Fixin’ stuff, Grillin’ stuff, Eatin’ stuff
This year: Worked at CCCA, Taught at CCU, Sent CC emails
Next year: Purdy much the same I ‘magine…







But seriously folks…
2011 has been a fascinating year. I’ve been working hard at the Christian Camp and Conference Association, trying to help our members (camp directors and staff) through the various resources we offer. I’ve started teaching at Colorado Christian University as an adjunct professor (Yeah, Professor Slaight, weird, huh?) and on the side, helping a couple campground owner friends by sending fun, slightly strange, yet apparently effective email messages to their constituents. It’s a weird life indeed, but somebody has to live it!


JAKE SLAIGHT

Age: 19
Gender: Male
Hobbies: Grow beard, play video games, eat food
This year: Graduated High School, Worked at Golden Bell Camp, Worked at gas station
Next year: Happily take my share of the lottery winnings that my mom doesn’t play, play more video games, and invent something interesting.


 




if my invention doesn’t quite turn out…

I’ll try to get started on that college thing, continue selling gas (while producing a little of my own) and enjoy Chic-Fil-A milkshakes. Summer at Golden Bell Camp was the hardest job I ever loved, and maybe someday I’ll start my own video-game camp.


CORRIE SLAIGHT

This year: Worked at Ponderosa Camp and Conference Center, took pictures, made hats
Next year: Work at Ponderosa until I head off for Sweden





What? Sweden?
Yessirree! Plans are to leave for Sweden for Torchbearers International Bible School. I’ll study with Torchbearers for two months, then volunteer at their summer camp for 3 months. The other month will be spent on a plane, train, or automobile. Until then, I’m loving working at the Ponderosa Camp and Conference Center in Guest Services, Housekeeping, Foodservice, and general Misc. department!
