God is on the move at camp! I write this because there is so much happening and a lot of it seems very good. As I reflect on this, I think about how we experience things we like, we can easily attribute those feelings to God’s goodness and gifts. Similarly, when we experience things we Read More >
Below is a guest post from Chad Yoder: Thankful for Gifts of all Sizes Fundraising is a funny thing. A need arises out of the blue or a vision is put into action, both of which require a capital investment. So where does this money come from? A single donor? A few select individuals? Or Read More >

Apple cider, maple syrup and donuts, oh my! Have you ever experienced the BBC auction? Let me give you a glimpse into the things that touched me this past weekend: Campers come and help sell the items on the live auction by presenting the items to the audience – little do they know what an impact that has Read More >
Greetings Friends! Here’s a message I wrote internally just now (to board, staff and auction committee). It’s so exciting I just HAD to share it with everyone! ———— I just did the math and here’s what it seems we’ll receive (gross) when all payments are made.
