A Camp Douglas Update!

Posted on January 15, 2012

Hello Camp Douglas staff, friends, families, supporters, volunteers and fans!

We’ve been on a blogging-lull over the past few months, but we’re back! The Camp Douglas staff have been hard at work preparing for an amazing summer that is quickly approaching. Throughout the fall, there were some joyous events that happened for members of our present and past staff.

In September, both Rebecca “Bert” Simpson (our current director) and Curtis “Jones” Bablitz (past camp staff, director and committee member) were ordained by the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Rebecca has taken a call to be the minister at St. Pauls Presbyterian in Mission, BC while still directing Camp Douglas. Curtis and his wife Johanna (“Skittles”) have taken a call in Burlington, Ontario at Brant Hills Presbyterian. We praise God for the work that He has done in Rebecca, Curtis and Johanna’s lives.

 

In the fall, the Camp Douglas staff took part in a contest at Metrotown. The contest involved 3 teams stuffing themselves into a VW Beetle. The team that was able to fill their car the fastest, and with the most amount of people, won $10,000 for their charity. Camp Douglas placed second with 13 people in 58 seconds. Good job Camp Douglas!

 

In October, we had our third anual costume dance party at Haney Presbyterian. Many staff, volunteers and committee members came out to have a fun evening–in costume!

As well, November brought to us our first fall fundraiser dinner! Just over 100 supporters came out for an evening of Italian celebration–spaghetti and opera. Thank-you to everyone who helped us reach our goal of raising funds for camperships and bibles.

Thank-you for your continued support–Camp Douglas would not be the same without you!
