The News of Fall (part 2)
Day Camp 2006:
As always, Day Camp is the most exciting , intense, and challenging week of the summer at WNW. This year we were filled up within 2 weeks of sending out camper applications. Fortunately we had enough staff resources to enlarge the program and allow 70 campers to sign up. What a celebration with 35 adult staff and 8 CIT’s! We used a very challenging curriculum designed to help kids build a foundation of faith following salvation. Bible-based lessons involved subjects such as: Is there really a God? How did we get the Bible? How old is the earth? Did God create in 6 days? What is compromise? Our intention is to go beyond good Bible stories and demonstrate there is an important and trustworthy basis to believe what God specifically says in the Bible concerning history, science and lifestyle.
Let’s eat!!!:
Two local churches used our camp facility for their annual picnic. Folks enjoyed the great food as well as tours of the camp to see the different ways our facility is utilized. Thanks for your support!
Fall Parties:
Mason County Christian School in Shelton has regularly been a source of volunteer work crews in the spring and fall. We always look forward to their hard-work and enthusiasm for doing the “hard labor” of cleaning the grounds. We thank David Roller for bringing the Jr. High and Misty Niele for leading the High Schoolers up here.
New Roofs:
After finishing the new cabin roof in June and the pump-house roof in August, we tackled a remodel/re-roof on the Training Center in September. We appreciate the efforts of Jay Zelen, Ray Canterbury, Kara Weed and Alan Reimann in this project. We also thank Pastor Tim Roth and family from Port Orchard who made the unfortunate mistake of vacationing next door at the Refuge during a week of work. They volunteered as the “tear-off” crew and got us going to a great start.
