WE ARE GETTING BETTER EVERY
DAY!
![[image]](../images/bird_house_2_kids.jpg)
This is our latest new and improved newsletter
format. After a long search Newsletter Ease
stepped up to help us with our newsletter problems.
Look for new and exciting announcements every
month. We plan on keeping everyone informed
with what is happening. We did have to buy the
software for a reduced cost. We are looking
for a newsletter sponsor. That would entitle
the supporting business/individual a permanent
link/graphic at the bottom of our newsletter.
Call Chad Groover to submit a bid at (610) 778-0576
or email him at cgroover@campcompass.org. Bids
will be accepted until April 1st, 2003. The
highest donor will then be notified and posted
on our newsletters. |

PHEASANT PURSUIT
![[image]](../images/girls_tom.jpg)
Dianna Martin and Jenna Snyder recently share
a pheasant hunt with an outdoor mentor Tom Fegely.
Tom is a noted outdoor writer for The Morning
Call and Various magazines. The hunt was donated
by Larry Bittner from Wild Wings preserve in
Kempton, PA. The weather was extremely bitter
but that didn't stop the girls from having an
exciting day. It was such a great event that
Tom wrote an article on the hunt for The Morning
Call on Sunday February 2nd. The article can
be searched at the morning call's website. To
see where we hunted go to bittnerswildwings.com
A week after our pheasant hunt found
Tom Fegely at our Academy preparing to do a
feature story about Camp Compass. The story
was in the Adventures section of The Morning
Call on Sunday, February 17th. Go to http://www.mcall.com |

POLICE OFFICER VISITS THE
ACADEMY
![[image]](../images/dscf0008.jpg)
Officer Mark Hanna, Trexler Middle School's
resource officer was our latest guest speaker
at the Academy. His 50 minute presentation included
his role as a community officer, a sample day,
the role of firearms in his life and a very
lively question and answer session. Officer
Hanna was very impressed by the students behavior
and the physical appearance of the center. Camp
Compass prides itself on being able to build
relationships with good role models that can
carry over into the regular school. |

CAMP COMPASS THANKS ITS
EDUCATIONAL SUPPORTERS
On January, 29th five of our students
with the guidance of Educational Manager Laura
Miller put together what might of been the
best Teacher Breakfast ever at Trexler. As
a way of thanking the faculty of Trexler Middle
school for all of their help and support some
students of Camp Compass elected to come in
on their day off and set up and serve a number
of morning goodies. It was nice to see such
a great turn out of teachers, administrators
and office staff. All in all about 60 adults
took part in the breakfast. What a way to
spread the word and say thanks all at the
same time

TIDBITS
Frances Lombart was the runner up in the school
spelling bee. We are all very proud to have
her as part of our student body. By this time
next year she'll be a Travel Team member and
we're looking forward to her field reports being

A number of our Academy students entered
the PA Wildlife Federations "Nature in My
Neighborhood" contest. An agreement between
the staff and students came up with a unique
reward. If the Camp Compass students can come
up with a combined $100.00 in prize money,
students that participated would be allowed
to have an overnight film festival at the
Academy. We'll have to wait and see just how
the students did.
Special thanks to our new scratch a dot sponsors:
Willie Joe's Doggies
All-Pro Plumbing
Salon Estea
Valley Antiques & Gifts
