I don’t know about you, but looking out over a calm ocean is a great place to thank God for all He is doing right now and will do in the future. That’s where I find myself today…looking out at the ocean from our Pacific Woods Lodge. As I look out, I can’t help but envision and hear the boats cutting through the water with campers having the ride of their life! Can you see it? Can you hear it? Very soon Qwanoes beach will come alive once again, and I for one, can’t wait!
If you can’t wait until the summer, and you are a Juniors Camper…then this is for you! Come on back to us on April 1-3 and experience the Juniors Spring Retreat. You can get all the details online on the Qwanoes website. The theme is “Something’s Different Here” and not only is your weekend going to be filled with fun, awesome music, friends and adventure…you are going to discover for yourself how life can be different, so different that it could rock your world. Bring a friend or come by yourself and make new ones! One thing is for certain you are in store for one amazing weekend! There is limited spaces, so register soon.
There is a lot of activity happening at Qwanoes right now, and not only here at Qwanoes but our involvement around the world!
Qwanoes missions trips are underway! Our students in our Kaleo leadership program, staff and one board member are all involved in the mission trips. We have three groups going out all together, with the Argentina team leaving today, the India team leaving tomorrow and the Vancouver team leaving at the end of the week. We can’t wait to hear all their stories upon their return – what an adventure!
This is our fourth time heading down to South America. It’s all part of our vision to help youth leaders gain a vision for camp ministry and how they can apply it in their own ministry to children and youth. We are very excited to be sending a team to Argentina to come alongside Youth For Christ in what they are doing in establishing camp ministry in that country!
One of the team members on that trip is Matt Flemming, one of our year-round staff. This time of year he can be found in any number of places in Canada. He actually just returned from Missions Fest in Edmonton where it was about -20 and now he is heading to S. American where it is +25! That’s a temperature swing of 45 degrees!
Coming to a town near you! Last Sunday we were showing the “Here we Go!” media show at two of our partner churches at the same time… Central Baptist church in Victoria and Burnett in Maple Ridge. If you are interested in us visiting your church or school, feel free to give us a call at camp!
Have you seen all the new Qwanoes online media?
