SCCLC Camps 2009...coming soon...

Thursday, four young men helped me pack up, deliver, unpack and set up for our upcoming camps. That included all the kitchen appliances, games, food, tables, chairs and many other items which we hauled two hours north to the campgrounds near the village of Buena Vista. Their hard work was greatly needed and appreciated! (I would show you pictures of that work day, but I forgot to get the camera out of the truck and take any...smooth!)

On February 4, our junior high camp will begin. I still need to hammer out a few things, but it's coming together. Please pray with me that the last-minute details fall into place for our time away. All 31 junior high students are attending and I'm looking forward to see what God has in store for them.

Especially remember the high school students who will be ministering during the junior high retreat in the following capacities:

Counselors: Whitney, Hannah, Alejandro & Edwin
Activities Coordinators: Daniel & Timothy
Guitarist and Song Leader: Kaylynn & Susan

On February 9, we'll load up 77 high school students for their annual camp. They seem excited and ready. I pray this will also be a great time of fellowship, fun and even spiritual growth.

Our speaker for both events is Gary Hansen a graduate from the Learning Center in 2000. He is currently a pastor in Oregon and will be traveling down with his wife, Rachel, and a family friend. Pray for them as they will hit the ground running. Their flight arrives at the same time we will be traveling out to camp!
