This summer, we'll be exploring God's Word seeking Godly character that should be evident in all of our lives as well as watching out for poor character qualities.  Will you be a King Ahab or a King Solomon?  A Queen Esther or Queen Jezebel?  A Mary or a Gomer?  A Nadab or a Josiah?  Through our nine chapel sessions, personal devotions and cabin devotions, we'll go straight to The Book for guidance on building Godly character.

Common sense says, "Learn from your mistakes."  Wisdom dictates, "Learn from others' mistakes, so you don't have to make those same mistakes."  One may look at the bad examples of character in the Bible and think what poor choices those people made.  At camp this summer, rather than scoff at the highs and lows in someone's life; we will learn to take the knowledge they gained through their life experiences and apply it to our own lives.  

More information can be found in the "Summer Camps" link.

Volunteering at Trail Ridge is an excellent opportunity to serve alongside fellow believers.  Year-round volunteer service is vital to the ongoing ministries here at Trail Ridge.  Service groups, individuals, teens, adults and senior citizens are all important as the types of jobs differ.  Lawn mowing, cleaning, painting projects, mechanic work, tree trimming and much more are regularly in progress.

During the summer we need volunteers to spend a week or more at camp working on a crew to keep summer camp operations running smoothly.  Volunteers age 15 and up can work on the housekeeping crew, grounds crew or kitchen crew.  Volunteer lifeguards, nurses and activities assistants also contribute to a successful summer program.  

Thank you to all those who gave financially to this special project.  Our oven has now been installed and is working marvellously!  The dish room has been emptied of all equipment.  We are in the process of cleaning up, re-painting and running some new water lines.  (the old plumbing has corroded quite a bit over the last several years)  Our dish machine should be installed by our next big event--The Mother/Daughter Retreat!  Can you believe we're excited to do the dishes?! 

Thank you, also to the many that held this project up in their prayers!  We serve a mighty God, and we know that, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."  James 5:16

Come back soon to see updated pictures of our new equipment!

Just like volunteering, giving to camp can be done in many different ways.  Visit our donations page for more information.  Everybody can be involved in giving to camp in some way.
