Something for Everyone

Where is this picture taken from?

Welcome to the new Camp Alandale blog! I'm glad you're here. Only God knows what will become of this blog, but let me share with you some of our plans. The opportunities are endless. It's going to be awesome.

First and foremost, we hope to share our life with you--give you the in's and the out's of what happens around Camp Alandale. 

I'm reminded of Paul's words in 1 Thessalonians 2:8 when he said, "We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God's Good News but our lives, too." 

Of course, this blog will be about Jesus. 

It'll hopefully give you a deeper glimpse into the happenings of camp. This might work out in some high profile interviews with the Executive Director or the Chairman of the Board. Perhaps we'll feature a counselor of the month or the latest on our endless maintenance projects list. Maybe we'll even highlight some of the favorite places around camp like Castle Rock or the secret sledding hill and tell stories of the great times with campers.

Which way to the sledding hill?

Campers, this blog is for you! 
We'll be posting devotionals for you to read and use. We'll be answering common questions that many of you wonder about. You'll want to check back often, so that you don't miss out on anything that is happening in the Camp Alandale family. Feel free to comment or ask questions.

As a camp director, I'm often asked what we do during our "off season", like we all just go on vacation and sit around and drink coffee. Although we do take time to rest and probably drink more coffee than we should, we actually do stuff during these times. I won't explain it all here and now, but want you to know that we plan to debunk some of these assumptions. 

This blog will also be a resource for all you parents out there. Maybe you've wondered if your children have been Predator Proofed or what the typical signs of abuse may be. There are lots of things and lots of topics that would be helpful for you. For this portion, we'll definitely be using some guests writers within the Camp Alandale community and plan to give you only our best.

This also will be the spot to read the latest prayer letters and find out about special needs here at camp. We know that without the community of supporters and donors behind camp that we wouldn't have such a special place. 

Isn't this exciting? I can't wait to post pictures, share videos, and update you on what happens at Camp Alandale. Check back for weekly updates from Camp Alandale. We've got something for everyone.
