This is an open appeal, some of you are managing to sending me scanned photo's, however you're blowing my email account away. The reason being that your images are about 500K each. To give you an idea of what this means if all the images on the site were 500K in size there would only be room for 20 images and no text. Images you send should be around 40K, give or take 15K. Please check before you send them what size they are. The image quality of a 500K image and a 40K image are about the same to the human eye. I've been forced to delete all the images that people have sent me so would you mind sending them again but checking there size before you send them. You should be able to select a quality control on your scanner or image manipulation software.

Camp Map

The first thing you can do is take a virtual tour of Camp DeSales with our point and click map, I'm currently searching for more images to add onto the map and hopefully I'll get them soon. Hope you enjoy it.

Visitor Stat's

Might I draw your attention to a funny little image in the bottom left hand corner of the main page. It has a green background and a red slope on it. Click this image to view the visitor statistics of the page, its a neat little program and give's you an idea of who has been to visit, especially when people haven't left messages on the visitor book. Enjoy.

Summer 98

Here's a few photo's from summer '98 at camp. Simply click on the thumbnail image to view the full size version.

Sending in Photo's

Some of you have requested that I add a little piece on how you actually go about sending me photo's to add to the page, so here's a brief description:

1. Get hold of a scanner and scan the pictures, saving them as jpeg files if possible.

2. Send an email to me at stuquinn@yahoo.com with the pictures sent as attachemnts, most email services allow you to send attachments, if you've any problme with this bit email me in an advance and I'll try and put you straight.

3. Finally just a small note about sending the attachments, please only send about 3 or 4 attached photos at a time as otherwise my email account tends to explode, this is due to the relatively large size of image files such as jpeg. So if you've about 10 photo's to send, then send me 3 emails with 3, 3 and 4 photo's attached.

There ya go, dead easy, wee buns, no problem. Here are some samples of what I've been sent so far:

The camp staff page is up and running and I apologise if you're not on it as I don't have photos of everyone but if you get off your butt and email your favourite photo I'll get it posted on the sight as soon as I can. Please make sure it's in jpeg format as that makes my life alot easier! So what are you waiting for, check out the camp staff page now.
