Good Morning from the Mountains

"What we would here and now call our ‘happiness’ is not the end God chiefly has in view: but when we are such as He can love without impediment, we shall in fact be happy.

C. S. Lewis

Good morning all! I just wanted to give a quick update as to what's happening at Camp.

Yesterday morning the Explore 1 (first years) left on their team trip. This is their opportunity to plan and execute a trip without any serious involvement from their interns or staff. One group was planning to hike 14 hrs in one day so we'll see how that goes!

Meanwhile at Camp the snow is melting with our ridiculously warm weather - it's about 36 degrees right now! It's the first time in several weeks where you can go outside and the inside of your nose doesn't immediately start freezing. Right now I have several projects I'm working on.
I just finished an "announcement video" in collaboration with Timo and Corinne Towne and we're in pre-production for their full on support video.
Also, the Venture ministry of Camp Bighorn is hosting an adventure race in May and so I'm working with the team in a support role of who I like to call our Marketing Manager. Hopefully you'll see a promotional video out in the next couple weeks!
I'm also working with Mitch Long, a member of our Operations team to show people the incredible work he's doing keeping Camp up and running. I spent a good amount of time working on some thank you card designs for people who have contributed to staff at camp- so if you get one of them in the mail I hope you like them!

Also, I have some exciting news about my office space! I've been given a little bit of freedom to turn the downstairs basement of the office building into a studio for filming support videos and such. Originally, I just planned to have a large white wall to use as a backdrop and I've set up my desk as an editing station. However, I've since come to realize that there's much more potential for this room! What camp really needs is a place that people can come that is relatively quite and conducive to creativity, just like a coffee shop actually. And so, I'm partnering up with one of my good friends here to turn the basement into.... "The Studio" - a place where staff can come and work on things from advertising campaigns to support letters and hopefully be a place where we can shout about God's amazing work even more loudly. More on that to come!

Other than that, I hope you have an amazing day. Remember, God is good, He has a plan for your life and loves you dearly.

"Do you not know?

    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak." Isaiah 40:28
