Lions and Tigers and Beds, Oh my!

Well... no lions and tigers.  But, we do have beds.  108 brand new beds to be exact.  And... if you are going to put new beds in the cabins you might as well paint the walls, ceilings and floors, install new windows on the front and buy new mattresses too.

Check out the upgrades to our camper cabins.  They are ready to go for this summer!

Before & After

The new Pontoon Paddle Boats have arrived!  Here's a before and after shot.  Thanks to all of our investors who made this project possible.  Our new boats EXCEED EXPECTATION!

Where did Spring go?

It was 31 degrees this morning at Arrowhead.  Summer camp is just a month away... and it makes me think, "Where did Spring go?"

We have been busy working on projects and preparing camp for another big summer season.  But, before we get ahead of ourselves, check out some pictures for our Shepherds Spring Retreat.

What Kind of Leader Are You?

This past weekend was the launch of Leadership Dynamics in Camping Ministry, a 3-credit undergraduate LBC course we now offer here at Arrowhead.

Here's a photo from the lighter side of the course.  Can you tell which one is the Polar Turtle?

Actually, it was a pretty intense weekend.  But, the uniqueness of the camp setting and various teaching formats made for a fantastic learning environment.  For me, it was a great blessing - to live and learn in community with students preparing for life and ministry.

We have two more weekends - one here at Arrowhead in conjunction with our Shepherds Camp Spring Retreat and the other on campus at LBC.  I am also looking forward to our Discipleship course which will be offered over the summer.

Caption this...

Found this graphic tucked away here at camp.  Depending on who you are... it's from back in the day.  What caption would you give it?

Wedding Bells...

"So... it's the last winter retreat for the season at Arrowhead.  Wanna get married?"

Actually, that's my paraphrase.  It was much more heartfelt and sincere.  This past weekend we had the privilege of watching one of our staffers get engaged.  The D's were here as a family to serve as our James Project group (they were full time staff back in the 90's and early 00's).  Brielle's boyfriend had made the necessary preparations and with her family (and us camp folks) in attendance, he got down on one knee and popped the question.

I'm not sure he even got through asking when she tackled him with a huge hug.  Everyone cheered and more teary-eyed hugs were exchanged. 

What a way to wrap up our winter retreat season!
