Episode 3: Spillin' it with Scott and Hannah Clardy plus Anderson

Episode 5: Spillin' it with Kam Schalk

On this episode of the Real T we get to catch up with Kam Schalk, a member of our most recent third year junior counselor group. Kam is known for her kind, positive spirit and her artistic and creative eye for videography and photography. This past summer Kam was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and has been documenting her battle through her YouTube channel. Her story has inspired many to keep fighting no matter the odds.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBfqKABowfYaAOtWljtp1xA Last week Kam completed her final chemotherapy treatment and is patiently waiting for her last scan. We are so excited and hopeful for what is to come in her life. This episode was recorded halfway through her journey, and explores the supports, feelings, and struggles along the way. Plus, we share several laughs and memories of her favorite camp moments. Join us as we gather at the table of the Mount Triumph family this week to check in with this amazing member. We love you Kam.

Episode 4: Spillin' it with Jaime Johnson

On this episode of the Real T join us as we dive in with the lover of love, Jaime Johnson, a senior counselor at Mt. Triumph for the past five years. She also spends most her days working as the activities adviser at Monroe High School in Monroe, Washington. Listen in as we chat about connection during distance learning, learning lessons from you council members, and the wisdom and example of Fred Rogers.  Hani, Syd, and Travis take some time to spill the personal tea regarding creativity, expectations, personal limitations, and having to shift quickly when COVID comes to class. Thanks for joining us at the table of the Triumph family.

Episode 3: Spillin' it with Scott and Hannah Clardy plus Anderson

After a holiday break, an attempted coupe at the Capitol, and the reality of the new year that is 2021, we are finally back with a new episode. On this episode of the Real T join Syd, Travis and Hani as they spill the tea on why reciprocity in relationships is important, the continued realities of the pandemic, how learning to say no and understand your limits is life giving, plus Travis schools us on why senioritis isn't a real thing.  We will also catch up with Scott and Hannah Clardy, two former staff members that served as JC's and Core Team members. You can now find them living and working in Astoria, Oregon, busy loving on their little cutie Anderson.  Listen as they reflect how they still cary their experiences and all they learned at Mt. T into their daily lives, plus how they brought our beloved Linda and Sharon into the Triumph family. Come and join us at the table. We are so happy you are here. Also, don't forget that you can donate to our beloved Cispus Learning Center through January 31 at cispusforever.org. All donations up to $15,000 will be matched in the month of January by our good friends ad Pemco. Make your donation today.

Episode 2: Spillin' it with Leanne Donley

Welcome back. This week on the Real T, we get to sit at the table with my long time friend, and camp director of Mt. Triumph, Leanne Donley. She will be spilling the tea about the beginning of Mt. Triumph, her perseverance through the COVID school closures, her BFF Bréne Brown's influence in her life, and of course, her camp crushes.  Also, Travis, Syd, and Hani debrief the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and the move of Travis' family into their dream home. Come for the tea, but stay for the laughter and inspiration. We are so glad you joined us at the Mt. Triumph family table. Also, please help us keep the legacy of Cispus Learning Center and AWSL alive. The shut down of services has directly impacted both of these essential non-profits that make all things Mt. Triumph and all other AWSL Camps possible. Please consider donating at Cispusforever.org. From now until January 30 our good friends at PEMCO will match all donations up to $15,000. That means your donation will be doubled and have double the impact!

Spillin' the Tea: We're just gettin' started

This is it! The first one!  We are so very excited you have decided to take some time out of your day to join us. Each summer we gather with over 300 delegates from all over the state to learn and grow as leaders at Cispus Learning Center in Randle, Washington. For each of us, this has challenged and transformed us as leaders and people. As your hosts, we look forward to spilling the tea and connecting with you all over the different triumphs, tribulations, and truths we've encountered in our daily lives. Also, be sure to stick around for the weekly serpentine, a closer look at the unique way we say goodbye at the end of each camp session. Welcome to the table of the Triumph fam...we are so glad you joined us.
