Lots of activity this week centered around our involvement at Camp of the Woods in Canada.
On Monday night we invited several people interested in spending the summer at camp to dinner. After dinner we discussed our desire to recruit summer staff for the camp. We discussed dates and finances, including plans we have for securing funds. There was a lot of enthusiasm for the task, and we enjoyed sharing our passion for this work.
If you’re reading this, and you know a young person who would be interested in hearing about the opportunity to serve in the ministry at Camp of the Woods, be sure to contact me so that I can get information out to them in a timely manner.
Wednesday night I spoke to the youth at church about a mission trip to camp in July. There are several young people who have expressed an interest in working a week at the camp. Some that were not interested in spending the whole summer are very interested in this shorter trip. Our hopes are that once they’ve been there, the place will take hold of them as it has us.
Our friend Ashley has been working on a very sharp looking brochure that will contain all the information about our work at the camp and how friends can support the work. We want to have it ready so that we can give it to people when they ask us what we’re going to do when we retire. We are trying structure it so that others who are trying to raise support for spending the summer at camp will be able to send it out with their personal information on it. It should be finished soon. Kudos to you, Ashley!
On Sunday after church we’ll be meeting with any adults and families who are interested in the Canada trip. I’ve had calls and texts wanting more information. I’m anxious to see who’ll turn up.
Phil and I are so excited about all this activity. We are anxious to expose others in our church family to this place we’ve come to love so much. I’ll keep you posted here on our progress. Keep us in your prayers.
