Helloooooooo Campers!

Are you getting excited about your weekend at camp yet? We want to give you a little update on a few things to help make it easier for you at Camp Croppin’.

As mentioned in our last Camp Croppin’ newsflash, we will have enough spots for all 300 of our campers who registered. We have been trying to listen to your comments from last year and we have added some more long tables for more of our campers to use for scrapbooking. The great part about these long tables is that there is a bit more room to scrapbook at, however there is not as much space to store your scrapbooking tools and accessories. We will be sending you some tips in some of our later newsflashes as to how to get organized for Camp Croppin’, so that you do not need to bring everything. . . including the kitchen sink!! Make sure that you watch for those emails!!
There is also a great feature on our website that we want to make you aware of. Go to www.scrapbookersparadise.com  and click on Camp Croppin’. Then, scroll to the bottom of the page and you will find a link called “newsflashes”. When you click on that link you will be directed to our webpage that will have links to all of the newsflashes that we have sent out about Camp Croppin’. If you ever accidentally delete a newsflash, or if you have problems with your email and you do not get our newsflashes, simply check on that section of our website and you will be all caught up on the latest and greatest information about Camp Croppin’.
Finally, there is no point in going camping if there is no place to park your camper. We are very excited to be holding our Camp Croppin’ at Calgary’s beautiful, centrally located conference hotel:

For ladies wishing to stay onsite for the convention, we would suggest that you quickly secure your booking at the Carriage House to avoid being disappointed and not being able to enjoy the convenience and luxury that they have to offer. Because Camp Croppin’ has been such a success in the past the hotel will be able to give you a beautiful room with 2 queen sized beds for a special price of $119 + GST per night. Simply mention that you are with Camp Croppin’ with Scrapbooker’s Paradise to receive your special hotel rate. Make sure that you book soon because this offer only stands until March 10th.

Please make sure that you have booked your room at the Carriage House Inn before March 10th to ensure that you will get the special rate that is being offered to our campers. We wouldn’t want any of you to miss out on our little camping trip because there is no room in the inn! Last year the hotel sold out, so make sure you book early to avoid disappointment!
