Take a Hike

Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in West Hills hosted a Take a Hike in May.  They had 23 hikers that hiked 3 miles, ages 8 - 80 and they raised over $1,000 for camp!

Take a Hike is a simple fundraiser that you and your church can do to help camp.  Your church decides to host a "Take a Hike".  We have a checklist for you to use as a guideline in your planning.  We have flyers, bulletin inserts, etc... below to help with your publicity needs. 

More on Take a Hike.
 
PA Systems needed!

Both camps (El Camino Pines and Yolijwa) are in need of professional PA systems. 

If you have any leads on these please contact Desta at 818-243-8700 or Office@LRCChome.com.

Thank you in advance!

Goodbye and Hello Anthony on a dinosaur               
This past month we said goodbye to Anthony Briggs, LRCC's Executive Director for 5 years.  Anthony has been a blessing to LRCC, he will be missed.  He is off to find a new adventure in his life and we wish him God's blessings.  


We also said goodbye to Michelle Meulemans who has been with LRCC for three years. Michelle spent the last two years as the Program Director at El Camino Pines.  On May 22 she married Sam Campeau, the Youth Minister at Westlake Lutheran Church.  We wish all the best to Michelle and Sam in their new life.  Michelle's energy and love for God will be missed at camp but we know that she'll be back, especially married to a Youth Minister!  


Michelle and MattMatt Kufeld has joined the administrative staff of LRCC as the Program Director at El Camino Pines.  He has worked the past three summers as a counselor, leadership staff and Summer Program Director.  Matt graduated this May from California Lutheran University with a B.A. in Communication. He enjoys sports of any kind, print journalism and learning.  Matt has a passion for camping and teaching and hopes to use his gifts to build the ministry at El Camino Pines.  He can be reached at Matt@LRCChome.com or 661-245-3519.
