warning: it leans towards events that we hosted and planned and doesn't include all of the other great retreats, trainings, reunions, etc where people came to connect with God, creation and each other.
Here's a List
- Winter Youth Retreats
- Camp Staff Recruiting Trips
- Winter OEE groups including making maple syrup
- Homeschool OEE
- Scrapbook Retreats (4 of them-in the gym with lots of space!!)
- Hosting the BAR (no not that bar, but Building Authentic Relationships Retreat)
- Spring and Fall OEE (more than 17 schools visited Amigo this year!)
- Two Elderhostels
- 7 Great Weeks of Summer Camp
- 2 trips to Minnesota Boundary Waters
- Starting a Day Camp and actually having kids come to it
- MCC Bike Retreat raising more than $5000 for MCC
- A new Transitional Minister Training seminar
- A quilt retreat
- Partnered with InMi Women in their Fall Retreat
- Hosted Pastoral Leadership Team Retreat and led them on some "fun" activities
- Got to Hang Out with Goldenrod for a couple of days
- A retreat for 5 families from Interfaith Hospitality
- 4 hog roasts (Golf Scramble, Amigo Park Labor Day, Celebrate, and MCC Bike)
And all that doesn't include the many families who had reunions here. The churches who planned a retreat, a retreat that builds community and for some is the only vacation and/or time in woods they get each year. The sunday school classes, the meetings, the basketball practices, the trainings, and all of the many campers at the Park,
It has been a good year, a year where we continue to work towards long term relevance and viability. How will camp look in 2010? How do we be good stewards of this beautiful place? How do we continue to be a place that connects people to each other, to nature, and to God? We are grateful for the opportunity to serve here at Amigo.
grace and peace
