Weather Update for SurYivor Ocean

Hello parents,

 

From here on out, we will be updating through the web site http://morrisonteens.blogspot.com. This message can also be found there.

 

I wanted to write and let you know about the weather that you may be hearing about on the news – Tropical Storm Christobal. I have contacted our friends at YMCA Camp Seagull-Seafarer to get an update directly from them as they are located 6.3 miles away from Camp Caroline (which is actually the driving distance, the camps sit adjacent and are less than 3 miles from each other). In speaking with their Waterfront Director, the storm has passed and they have proceeded with their normal summer camp schedule. I have copied their Weather Update from their web-site http://www.seagull-seafarer.org/ below. Please feel free to look at their web site for continuous updates.

 

From YMCA Camp Seagull/Seafarer:

 

As of 11:00 a.m., Sunday, July 20, our area is under a Tropical Storm Warning. The center of the Tropical Storm Christobal is passing by the coast of North Carolina approximately 75 miles from our location. At this time, we are continuing with our regularly scheduled activities. We have experienced a few light passing showers with periods of sunshine. Winds are between 10-15 mph from our East. We expect that we may experience additional scattered showers throughout the remainder of the day. We are monitoring the weather closely as always and have alternate activity plans ready if we need to amend our schedule. Continue to check our website for updates throughout the day.

 

So, we should be good to go by the time we arrive at Camp Caroline Monday evening. I have discussed Emergency Procedures with YMCA Camp Seagull-Seafarer (which is part of the Raleigh YMCA Association), and we will be utilizing their procedures if the weather turns bad. Thanks, and please remember to check the web site throughout the week. We’ll see you all bright and early Monday morning.
