~The Prayer Project~

We're going to start recording our petitions here on our blog site. Our goal is show God's immeasurable riches as he provides for our camp needs. As camp gears up and we are approached by different families and groups, we begin the list of "needs" to make camp successful.

Today we've realized our need for family sized or larger Tents. Also, for the funds for each camper to have a devotional that they can not only read here but also take home with them. These books cost $1.35 each. Please pray with us for these items!

Thank you for partnering with us in prayer as we petition for the needs of the least, last and lost!

New CIT Program!

This summer begins our annual Counselor-In-Training program. We're taking past campers who have shown great leadership potential and plugging them in as junior leaders.
Our purpose is to provide past campers opportunities to participate in leadership training, designed to prepare them to be future counselors.  Our program focuses on supporting teams through their developmental changes and provides opportunities for them to practice activity skills and life skills in a safe, controlled environment.
CIT’s are assigned to an experienced counselor to assist and learn during sessions.
CIT trainers demonstrate and discuss effective leadership techniques and skills in communication, group management, decision-making, and conflict management.
The CIT is evaluated by his trainer(s) and peers based on attitude, communication, values and character, program support, team building and leadership style.
Please pray for these campers as they grow this summer!

Spring has sure sprung and we are gearing up with groups. This week we had a group of boys overnight from Ranch Hope. It was awesome to hear their comments and see their enthusiasm. Some commented that they didn't want to leave. It does your heart good to see that. :)


Last night at our auxiliary meeting we planned for the upcoming Bike Ride Fundraiser. Can't wait to see who wins the trophy this year! I hear some buzz about a couple of churches throwing down so we'll see! It's gonna be a fun day!


Last night a group of staff from Camp Andrews in PA rolled in and spent the night. They are observing and helping with a ropes course here today. Pray for us as we continue to plan for summer and that we are effective! Thank you Lord for opportunities!
