Ness Lake, Anvil Island, Nazarene Junior Teen

Over the last 4 weeks I have spent three of them at three different camps helping out and serving as I am able. It has been a great privilege to work alongside other veterans of the camping world and to see other facilities and staff that give of their time and lives for the betterment of children all over BC. Here is a picture of the waterfront at Ness Lake Bible Camp in Prince George area.

Ness Lake is a beautiful camp situated on a relatively unpopulated lake with a beautiful and large beach front/water front. They hold around 160 campers at a go. Which was about the number I was speaking too in the evenings. 160 7-11 year-olds! Yikes. I had a great time at it though. Our theme was treasure hunting and through that I had a great time hunting for lost treasure with them.

And here is a beautiful shot of How Sound from the peak of Anvil Island where I spent a week speaking to 99 10-12 year-old boys. The picture is facing south west. You see some of Anvil Island in the foreground, then Gambier Island, Bowen Island and the the left Horseshoe Bay. Off in the hazy distance is Vancouver Island and just on the edge of the sound on the right, level with Bowen Island is a bit of Keats Island.

Anvil Island Camp 4 boys camp was quite an experience! With various injuries and crazy antics it was everything a boys camp should be and more. Fantastic music by some great musicians, great food, and great leadership by David Jones and his team who made it an experience I will never forget.

Here is the crew of counselors and support staff that I had the privilege of working alongside at the Nazarene Junior Teen camp at the Okanagan Pentecostal Camp (OPC) in Falkland. From left to right: Tristan, Darren, Lily, Spencer, Claire, Lena, Katie and Chris. You guys did a good job.

The Nazarene's have rented OPC for a number of years for their 3 camps they do there. Recently the camp has been sold and so now the location for their camps could be changing. They would appreciate prayer for a proper location/place to support a work of camping ministry that will have the potential for growth and bring many young people into deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. The whole reason we do this camping thing anyway.
