Once again, it has been some time since we updated so we thought we'd share a little bit about what has been going on at SON-Life Camp. We have had a lot going on over the past couple months so its hard to find a place to begin. On April 7 & 8 we had the privilege to host a work group from Second Byron CRC in Byron Center. They did an amazing job renovation our retreat center meeting room as well as the bathrooms. They stripped the wallpaper off the walls and then repainted. They took out the old orange counter-tops and replaced them with new ones. They also stripped wallpaper in the bathrooms and applied paint to the walls and ceilings. Here are couple pictures of their work here.
We want to say a big thank you to all those from Second Byron CRC for spending their time from Spring Break here and making a big difference.
On Saturday April 10, we hosted a Spring Cleaning Day. We were overjoyed at the fact that almost 50 people were here at one point or another on that day. We had two groups of people working on splitting and stacking wood, another group was putting compost in the flower beds, and another group went around cleaning. There were many other small, but important projects that got done as well. We want to thank everyone for their service to help clean up camp and be ready for an amazing summer.
Speaking of summer, we have hired our summer staff and are excited or May 7-8 when they come together for the very first time for our Staff Bash. Staff Bash is a time for our staff to come together and meet each other and receive some information before coming back in June for orientation. Be in prayer for the staff as they begin this new journey.
A few other areas that you can be in prayer for are:
- Summer Camp: For kids to return to SON-Life and for new kids to be introduced to SON- Life and once again for summer staff as they teach these kids how to live a Christ-like life.
- Retreat Groups: For the retreat groups that are scheduled to come, and for groups to rent out of facilities.
- Retiree's Week: May 10-14 we have a group of retiree's that will be out here working to
help prepare camp for summer, pray for safety for all involved.
- SON-Life Camp overall: Pray that we may be a light on a hill shining for all to see and that
we may be able to impact many lives and change their lives through Christ!
Thank you all for your support
In Christ,
The SON-Life Camp Team
