A Rocky Anniversary
Manage episode 315795593 series 2850581
Today I had planned to be in Rocky Mountain House in the foothills of the mountains. Pioneer Alberta is celebrating 70 years of camping at The Ranch. My current limitations meant that I had to cancel the trip but I am happy that many friends will be there to give thanks.
They say it takes a village to raise a child and it definitely takes a community to run a camp. Through the generations staff and volunteers, have given, prayed, served and helped. The value of this investment over time can only be glimpsed but it is highly significant.
Camp is a place where lives are changed as young people encounter God in creation, discover Jesus in the Bible, grow in faith in community and take their first steps in leadership with support. Memories are built as friendships are formed, fellowship shared and fun experienced. It is an environment where creativity can thrive, gifts can be nurtured, character can be formed and resilience can be developed.
At our core is a commitment to invest in the next generation.
