After months of prayer, phone calls to government officials, and contingency plans, we can’t hold out any longer and have to cancel all our regular summer programming. We’ve waited as long as we can but since our provincial legislators have made no allowances for overnight camping programs, we are unable to proceed with our summer camps. If your camper is currently registered in a summer program, we will be in touch with you shortly to assist with your cancellation.
I already broke the news to my family and we had a good cry over our supper meal. Like you, we can’t imagine a summer without camp. So where do we go from here?
We don’t want our campsite to sit idle, and we have many donors and volunteers behind the scenes working at our camp. Right now we’re building a new pellet gun range, planning a new campfire pit by the lake, preparing to make a new playing field, and scheduling contractors to complete our wastewater lagoon project. We have a long list of other projects we’d like to complete, and we’d love your help! If your family or your church is interested in volunteering at our camp while using our campsite, we are happy to talk to you about sponsoring projects; we have projects for many skill levels, so contact us for more details.
If you’d like to make a donation so we can continue to operate, we would appreciate it more now than ever. You can also support our camp by purchasing our 2020 camp merch through our online store.
Thanks for your support. Truly, you are who makes our camp special. Though these times are fraught with difficulty and disappointment, our God is a God of hope, and we know that He makes beauty from trying times like these.
Blessings!
Greg Benson
Executive Director
