Hello to all the beloved swifties,

There are many ways people mark the beginning of everyone's favorite season. For many of us, it starts on Memorial Day weekend. Some mark it on the first day you have to get out and cut grass, others the first BBQ of the season. But if you're a member of The Swift, you have a different standard. For us, summer is marked by one age old tradition that dates back hundreds of years, and involves some key events. They are, the first batch of cafeteria corn, driving through a blazing Texas afternoon with no A/C, and Mike Simons sporting the fly camouflage shorts. That's right beloved.... summer camp is here, and in a major way.

As a lot of you know, Summer Camp is our favorite time of year as a band. In addition to some of the things I just mentioned (don't forget corn dogs!), camp gives us a chance to really hang with all of you guys. It so great to be able to see people throughout the week and get to know them outside of a regular concert setting. It also gives us a great opportunity to lead in worship. Watching a group of people come together in worship over the course of an entire week is an amazing thing to be a part of.

If you are scheduled to attend one of the camps we're at, please come and say hey to us. We'd love to grab a bite to eat, or be a part of whatever else your group is up to... except basketball, remember campers.... we're musicians!

And if enough people read this, remember, camp craziness is one of our favorite things. One highlight of last summer was at Falls Creek Camp in OK. We saw a guy wait in our autograph line for an hour wearing an ape suit! He wore it in a 100 degree heat. That is serious dedication. I want to see at least one ape suit at every camp for the rest of the season.

Thanks to all of you for your support. We will see you real soon. Yay to summer! Stay tuned,

All the love,

Britt, Mike, Guy, and Matt

I am very sad you won't be at falls creek this year. I guess i will just have to hold out till 2007. I loved seeing  you guys play at Freedom Live in Tulsa. And your 10/10 EP is awesome. I can not wait till october. I hope you guys see tons of ape suits this summer.

Lots of love,

Krysta

Hey guys!  I was an adult counselor at the Student Life camp at Stephen F. Austin University the end of May.  Our small, but commited, group of young students REALLY loved you guys and we each bought a CD (including the new EP!!!) and listened the whole way home.  The kids are still singing the "Wake Up" song and screaming every time we get together.  Thanks for leading everyone in corporate worship...it was the highlight of the days!  We wish you all the best with the new CD and we are looking forward to its release and maybe seeing you guys out there again somewhere!  Enjoy your summer!

Hey Swift!
I saw you guys at Student Life Camp at S.F.A. this summer and i really thought you guys did an awesomely amazing job!! The last time i went to Student Life was about 2 or 3 ((i dunno)) years ago and Chris Tomlin did it. I must say, you guys sure did fill the big shoes left by him. Britt, you really touched my heart when you sang I Need You one night at camp. So, if you don't mind, i hope you don't. I'm going to try and sing it for our school's, well, really our choir's, annual talent "pop" show next spring. I really want to learn how to play it on the piano, so if you could help me out...i haven't been able to find the sheet music to it anywhere. Thanks soo much.

too bad I dedicated four weeks of my summer to being on the rec team for WisdomWorks otherwise I'd bust out to a camp in an ape suit. LoL

However I will see ya'll next summer at Life in Orlando so I'll make a point to bring the suit to that.

Have a blessed and crazyfun summer guys!
