CAMP - The Water Show last weekend reminds us that we are past the midpoint of the Summer Program out at Camp. The Water Show was a great success, we have a new; Jr. Prince/Princess, Prince/Princess and King/Queen and Congratulations to them all - we are proud to have them represent Turner Camp. We also had a very active Saturday night at the Raths, with multiple entertainment options and fun had by all. This weekend we have a full Turkey Dinner (Thanksgiving in July!) complete with all the sides. Come join us and celebrate a holiday dinner with Turner Family.
The Staff has done a tremendous job to date. Take a moment to stop one of them and thank them for their time, energy, patience and support they give all of our children. I also want to recognize our Youth Co-Chairs - Nicole Sandine and Tina Odechowski who put in tireless hours to support the Staff and Turner Families. They are young parents too and are sacrificing time with their own families so they can bring a safe and fun experience to the 60 plus children in the Program.
Thank you, Cory Litza - Acting ITC President
SUNDAY DINNER - this Sunday's Donna Special is cancelled in lieu of the Betty Barts memorial. We still look forward to seeing everyone down at the Raths for the memorial, but the timing would be too tight to accomplish both. Thank you, Donna
YOUTH - WHAT A WEEK!!! Program went super well and consisted of plenty of Water Show practice and games! The campers of the week were Gavin Beeftink and Lacie Power for their awesome attitudes and participation! Water Show was a blast. The kids were so excited to show their parents all that they have learned, especially diving board skills! The swimmers of the week this week were Nathan Becker, Daniel Buckley, Brandon Odachowski, Declan DeRusha, and Oliver Northway! They all had so much enthusiasm and determination while preparing for Water Show! Week 6 includes the 9 and Under sleepout and a field trip for the 10 and overs to a trampoline park! We hope they enjoy these next few weeks leading up to Olympic Week and Final Show!
ART STUDIO – 7/16 - Creating mosaic stepping stones from 9AM to 3PM. Come join the fun. It is $20 per steppingstone, that is the basic cost for the supplies to create one.

RESTARUANT - Restaurant – we've had some great food offerings this past week or so. Thanks to Donna Litza for the Sunday Evening BLT Specials! Thanks to Joe Gatz for his Smoked Pulled Pork! And finally, thanks to Tom Webb for his Texas Cheese Steaks! It's a team effort around here and we have a great team!
Here are the last few Fish Fry Crew members.
Jim Gerstbrein - married to Jean (Loscher) and a long time Turner. He is one of our longest crew members going back about 20 years. When faithful Eleanor Weber retired Jim stepped in to help. I don't think he realized it would be a 20 year+ commitment! He fit in well with Bruce Scott and I and took Bruce's gruff training well. He's enjoys dressing up in tights and roll around the floor trying to pin other guys. Give that man an Old Style!
Bobby Collins - is the newest (last week) and married to Jenny (Koehler) a lifelong Turner. They live in the Florida panhandle; some call it the redneck riviera. And Bobby's got the accent to prove it! He approached us and offered to heon Friday's. Little did he know we'd have a crew member taking a couple well deserved nights off and he was immediately drafted! We threw him right in on frying the fish and he did great! We appreciate his help. Get that man a Woodford Reserve and water! Thanks, Scott

POSTURE FITNESS - Sarah Shiller is teaching Posture Fitness classes again this summer. The class members decided on classes at 8am M-F with the occasional Saturday thrown in. This class is not just about sitting up straight! The Egoscue Method is practiced by all kinds of people with all kinds of bodies: Professional and amateur athletes who want to perform better, anyone recovering from an injury or wanting to avoid injury, seniors who want to become more independent and/or hold on to their independence, moms and dads who carry their kids around, and anyone who wants to look and feel better. Sarah works with anyone who wants to participate. This week we are focusing on correcting dysfunction in the thoracic back (upper back and shoulders); next week we will be working on the low back. Regardless of the focus of a class, all participants can benefit from this whole-body therapy. Don't wait until the season is over to join! Classes are a DEEPLY discounted $15/week only for Turners (an incredible deal for therapy that normally costs more than $125 per hour) and 100% of the proceeds are donated back to camp to make Turner Camp even better. What are you waiting for? Thank you, Sarah
