A little teaser for PALS Tours 2012
With the first PALS Tours 2012 just one week a way, it’s time to start getting excited — take a look at all the fun times we had at PALS Tours 2011!
This is where we’ll post photos, videos and other live updates from PALS Tours 2012, so don’t forget to check back often to see all the action.
Welcome Jessica Trief to the PALS board!
I’m thrilled to share that Jessica Trief has agreed to join the PALS executive board, alongside Jenni, Josh, Abby and myself. I’ve known Jess for about 7 years now and can’t think of a better person in the world for this role.

Over the years, Jess has made enormous contributions to PALS. At camp, Jess has organized closing ceremonies, water balloon fights, meals, dances, and more. Outside of camp, Jess has served as chair of the Counselor Board and recently led the PALS-wide branding/logo redesign. Jess brings passion to everything she does, and our organization will be even stronger with the addition of her leadership.
We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Jess to the board. We’re excited to work with her and to continue to make PALS the best place in the world.
- Jason, on behalf of the PALS Executive Board
More technology updates
We’re doing our spring cleaning, and in addition to revamping the PALS websites, we’ve created new Facebook and Twitter pages to connect everyone from all our programs: Camp PALS, Camp PALS West and PALS Tours.
Check out our new Facebook page at facebook.com/palsprograms (Like it to show your support!). You can also follow our new Twitter feed by clicking on the “Follow @PALSprograms” button to the right.
New website layout
You may have noticed some minor changes to the PALS Programs’ websites. We tweaked them a little bit to make them load faster and to be more consistent with each other. Below are some Before and After screen shots like we said, the changes are minor but we think the overall appearance is nicer now. Let us know what you think!
