CAMP OPENING DAY
Saturday, May 4th
Camp Opening will begin at 8:30 on May 4th. All are welcome to come to camp and help to get things ready for the summer.
There will be plenty of work to do. There are no special skills needed, just hands that are ready to do some work. We will be sweeping out cabins and buildings, removing snow covering from windows, hanging gutters, and other various cleaning tasks.
If a group from your church would like to join us, let us know so special projects could be planned. Contact Todd Marlow or Dave MacGowan for details and information. |
Running to Help Young People Michael Jakob
Congratulations Michael!
Michael Jakob, our Counselor Supervisor last summer, completed the London Marathon! Micheal's target was to raise £2000 for a great charity called Centrepoint. Here are some comments from Michael and results concerning the race and the events of the day:
"I managed to complete the marathon in 4 hours and 13 minutes, a time I was very pleased with. It was a really amazing day, with the people of London turning up in their thousands showing great solidarity to support all the runners despite the shock of events in Boston that week. Each runner was given a black ribbon to wear to show respect, and there was a 30 seconds silence at the start of the race which was observed perfectly. On top of that, the organizers donated £2 to the One Fund Boston for each runner that finished the race. Overall I have raised over £1500 (approx $2250) and am still welcoming donations for another couple of weeks. I have been told that some American banks won't allow payment on this website but all major credit card companies will. Thank You!"
