- Our summer CREW of 24 students are really looking forward to all that the summer holds. We are so thankful for the energy and servants’ hearts they will be bringing.
- Our 2016 Annual Report has gone out in the mail. We are humbled to be able to share how God used this ministry last year to encourage and bless over 23,000 people through a Zephyr Point experience.
- Praise for the 41 people who are here this weekend for Sprucing Up in the Pines completing a number of projects, especially clean-up after our intense winter.
- Between now and mid-November is our very busy season. There are groups on the property almost every day for the next seven months! Please pray for receptive hearts along with physical and emotional safety for all of our campers and guests.
- Moisture is still coming our way. Even though it is now spring, we are still getting both rain and snow. This can slow down our preparations for summer.
- Because of our busy schedule, we found a window of opportunity to install the fire sprinklers in Dobbins Hall. Please pray they can complete the job next month. We will begin building the new ADA bathrooms in the fall.
- Praise for the improvements in Cabin 12, our pastor’s cabin. Thanks to the generosity of the Huggett family, it is getting a completely renovated bathroom and a new bed. Next year it will get a new roof. We know many pastors will be blessed!
- Please continue to give thanks for the many who help sustain this ministry through their gifts of time, talent, and treasure.
- We are very thankful for the many registrations of groups who use our facilities and our programmed camps and retreats. There will be many, many ministry opportunities this summer.
- Finally, please keep praying for our staff as they serve our campers demonstrating a Caring, Respectful, Encouraging, and Welcoming (C.R.E.W.) attitude that reflects the love of Christ, especially as we enter this time of the year with the most ministry opportunities.

The students from Grace Presbyterian Church in Las Vegas are working hard putting in new pavers in front of the recently renovated Hubbard Lodge.

- “You truly helped me learn how to take a small breath and remember that God has everything in his hands and that it will all be okay.”
- “Ryan gave our group an experience of Jesus’ last days that I will never forget.”
- “Fitting my day into prayer instead of fitting prayer into my day was new.”


on a beautiful and brisk Sunday morning.
