Thank you so much for responding to our board’s recent fundraising letter. We are thankful for our board’s work to keep this ministry going, and for you answering their call.

“LOOK UP!” is our theme this summer, because things are LOOKING UP at Camp on the Boulder. Our ministry team will LOOK UP to Jesus in their service here, and we hope all our guests are LOOKING for Him to come again.

Luke 21:27-28 says, “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, LOOK UP and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” That is our prayer for everyone who comes to Camp on the Boulder.

We are excited about Nomads coming in June to finish the new childcare building in Missoula dorm, now named Gloria Anne’s Place. They will also finish the kitchen in Lower Magsig. It is your gifts and these volunteers who keep this ministry going.

Thank you again and may God bless you always.
Kent Chittenden, Camp Manager
