Camp Manitoumi

Greetings from a COOL (60 degrees) camp!

Here is the latest:

Program:
** Camp Mahnamahna (yes, that is the name) was here last week and had a great week. The weather was just what they wanted.
** Living Spring Camp is with us this week. This is the Slavic national camp, and we have campers from Seattle Washington and New York state. By the way, everyone speaks Russian. We’re having a blast. I’ve agreed to things I have no idea what I’ve done! So far its working!
** Chris said that we need Junior 2 male counselors. Pastors, please announce this and call if you can help us out.
** We’re working on a couple of ideas for game areas for next year. GaGa ball (Israeli dodgeball) and triangle ball.

Facilities:
** We passed our state camp/pool inspection again for another year.

Finances:
** I’ve attached information about our 365th Brigade. The churches should have already received their information. PLEASE read it and if the Lord leads . . . enlist! we have thirty-five recruits so far! You can also register online at www.manitoumi.com/365.

Promotion:
** Need promotional items fro your VBS? Contact the camp for information and promotional items.

PRAYER REQUEST:
** Kealens – Judy goes Thursday for finger surgery.
** Silvers – Charlotte and the pregnancy.
** Camp Finances
** Family Camp next week – David Burman, dean – Pat Odle, speaker.
** The neighbors and the road issues.
They have a court date of 7/30.
The neighbor that is causing the problems has declared war on the camp now. He has cut the fence line down along the forty acres we own. Pray how the camp will handle this.
