Dear Friends of the Camp:
It is the time again to celebrate the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ. I love the way John phrases it: “The Word (Jesus) became
flesh and made His dwelling among us. We
have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father,
full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14) No
wonder the angels announced “glory to God in the highest.”
During the summer John Wry and Robert Weaver took turns
leading the staff and providing direction for the camp. Again this year we had a
strong showing at both the Explorers camp (ages 10 – 12) and the Navigator's
camp (our youngest campers). This gives
us an optimistic outlook for summer attendance in the future. The Mother's camp
was a highlight of the summer for the women who attended. The program was led
by Wanda Nazworth with devotionals brought each morning by Margaret Haire. Both were used of the Lord to challenge the
women to grow in their Christian life.
There were plenty of ice cold buckets of water poured on the staff in
order to raise money for a mission project to help people in Bolivia. There were plenty of hikes and games and dips
in the pool and all the while each camper was challenged to put their faith in
Jesus Christ and grow in Him. We
continue to be the ones who benefit from God’s act of grace to us through His
Son, Jesus Christ.
We appreciate and depend upon your ongoing support.
Your prayers and your donations make a difference to this part of God's work.
The Lord has continued to provide for us throughout this year. The committee
made the faith decision to hire a full staff for the summer including some
students who were brought on part time. We are
running about $3,000 in the red at this point and face the time of the year
where there is lower revenue and fairly high heating bills. We also want to do some refurbishment work to
one of the camper cabins so the children can have a more comfortable place to stay. The swimming pool will need some maintenance
and painting in the spring so the children can still enjoy this valuable part
of the camp experience. The driveway is
also in need of improvements so we can maintain access to the camp property.
These are all extra costs that we will need help in accomplishing but
are vital improvements for the ongoing work at the camp. Thank you again for your ongoing interest in
and support of the camp.
Because of The Christ of Christmas
