Camp Emmanuel News

Spring is in the air and a new camping season beckons. We hope to see many of you enjoying the peaceful beauty and good-natured fun at one or more of the Church of the Brethren camps in 2012. Opportunities to serve Jesus at Camp Emmanuel abound from cooking to cleaning to construction and repair, grounds pickup and boat maintenance.

Projects for Work Week include:

• Rebuild Spill Way Bridge 
• New door and deck on Elm Cabin 
• Build handicapped accessible fishing dock 
• Playground repaired or replaced 
• Repair men’s showers 
• Repair Cottonwood Electric 
• Cleaning cabins, chapel and porch and dining hall 
• Cutting firewood 
• Grounds maintenance 
• Paint four-square grid on basketball court 

Please also prayerfully consider serving as cook or assistant cook for one of the camps. Volunteer cooks and assistants save the camp thousands of dollars per season and are greatly appreciated. Also, new this year, (we hope) air conditioning in the camp kitchen. Woo Hoo!

Camps still needing cooks are: 

Assistant cook needed—Junior Camp: Dates June 17-23 (Jane Weiss—head cook)

Cooks & assistants needed for: Youth Camp—June 3-9; Pre-Junior-- July 13-15, Young Adults—August 3-5; Family Camp--August 31-September 3.

Any of these would make a great service project for any church group.
