2021 Report of the Camp Team Coordinator

Wow!  Another year has come to pass and unfortunately another summer of dealing with covid.  All praise to God as we seem to be on the road to recovery and have been able to serve him through our camps at Grand Oaks. 

We kicked off the summer with our Youth camp. We share our youth camp with the Linn/Livingston Association, and we all gathered at Grand Oaks the week of June 7-11. There were 54 Youth in camp. We had 21 week long workers and around 30 volunteers in and out of camp cooking and teaching. The message of “Our Identity in Christ” was the camp theme and was preached by Pastor Phil Bray and taught in various Bible studies throughout the week. Over-all we had a blessed, God filled week along with some good fun in his creation.  

The “Intro to Camp” was postponed till next year due to the various issues with covid.     

We will finish up the year with Children’s camp. We will all gather at Grand Oaks July 26-30. The camp theme will be “Jesus is” The camp Pastor will be Ben Austic. All preaching and teaching are a curriculum based on the theme. It is looking like we will have 51 children in camp along with approximately 20 staff. I know God has great things in store for us this year in Children’s camp.    I will be giving a further update today on all camps. Due to some time restraints, this report was written just before we actually attended Children’s camp.   

 I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our camp team with a special “shout out” to Cindi Glenn, our Children’s camp director. I would also like to thank the 1000 Hills Association for the opportunity to serve our Lord and Savior.
