We are excited about another camping season that it about to begin. Soon those quiet grounds on the shore of the Passamaquoddy will be alive with the sounds of children praising God in His beautiful creation. Our Summer 2009 brochures are now available. If you would like to have one, drop us a line and we will mail you one. Maybe you want one to share with your children, teens or moms that you know so they can have an opportunity to check out what is available to them this summer at Edith Lank. If so, let us know and we will send you one. Our summer director is now on site at the camp and we are glad to have Greg Reicker with us for this season. He is available to speak with your congregation on a Sunday or to your youth or children’s groups that meet during the week. Please get in touch with him at the camp or with me at 752-2104 if you would like to make arrangements to have Greg come to your church.

Perhaps you are concerned about traveling to Campobello because of the new travel restrictions put in place by the United States. During the summer there is a passenger ferry from Deer Island point to Campobello. You can catch the ferry every hour on the half hour. Keep in mind that the first crossing of the day is at 8:30 am and the last trip off Campobello is at 7pm. It is also good to know that only adults are required to have a passport to enter into the United States. If your children have passports, that’s great but the new Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative only requires children under 16 to provide proof of Canadian or US citizenship in the form of a birth certificate, naturalization certificate or other type of citizenship document. You can present the original, a photocopy or certified copy of this document. There are more details available at http://www.getyouhome.gov/.

We appreciate your prayers and your financial support as we enter another season. What a great privilege and opportunity it is to reach out with the Good News of Jesus Christ in the special setting that is at Edith Lank. Please join with us in asking the Lord to work in the lives of everyone who comes on the camp site this summer. May souls be saved and may followers of Jesus grow in their love for and in their relationship with our Lord.

I remain,

One Happy Camper
