Postcard from Camp Emmanuel

Important Dates:
Work Camp April 16, Saturday,
Work Day April 16-22 Work Week

We know that spring is just around the corner when daffodils send up hopeful, green shoots. With spring comes the opportunity to help spruce up Camp Emmanuel for the camping season.

Work day begins at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 16th.
We’ll be cleaning the buildings, picking up the grounds and beginning the rebuilding of the suspension and land bridges. Work Week continues through Friday, April 22nd. Please come for any part of this regeneration project you can. Let us know which day(s) you’re coming by e-mail at campemmanuel.cob@gmail.com or by telephone 309-328-2291. Come and enjoy Jim and Clareen Dunn’s (and Ruth’s) cooking, as well as the fellowship of working together.

Feeding God’s Lambs?
In the past few years volunteers have stepped up to serve as cooks for the Brethren camps. This practice helps Camp Emmanuel operate “in the black.” Again this season the Board is asking for volunteers. Brethren Camps still in need of cooks are:

Young Adult Camp—May 13-15
Youth Camp—June 5-11
Pre-Junior Camp—July 8-9
Junior Camp—July 10-16
Family Camp—September 2-4

During their service time, cooks lodge in the relative luxury of either White Oaks Cabin (private shower and restroom, less walking, fridge, and pedestal fan) or in the camp house basement, (private shower and restroom, T.V., king-size bed and pedestal fan.)

To answer the call to this ministry: e-mail: campemmanuel.cob@gmail.com or telephone 309-329-2291 to work out the particulars.

See you at camp! Mike & Ruth Siburt, Managers
