Connecting people to Jesus at Rainier Retreat Camp & Retreat Center

Warm Beach Camp Ministries partners with Crystal Mountain Ski Resort to make Rainier Camp & Retreat Center home for many of Crystal’s seasonal workers. Serving our Guests at Rainier Camp is a true call of God and a fantastic opportunity for Warm Beach Camp Ministries to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

I can’t lie, it’s a challenge, as most of the guests on the mountain don’t know Jesus. The difficulty lies in presenting the Gospel in a way that does not push people away. The average of 40 attendees through six hosted gatherings is an amazing win. The gatherings allow for shared time together over snacks. So far, I met three believers and talked about faith, family, and where to attend church. It is fun to get to know the group, and I hope to host a couple of Bible studies a week for anyone interested in joining.

I am truly thankful for the opportunity to work with the Crystal Mountain staff. I see the Lord moving in many ways for our guests at Rainer Camp. Even though it is not an easy task, it is an assignment from the Lord to shepherd His people! Please pray for our guests and me at Rainier Camp & Retreat Center that His light will shine and His Spirit will move!

And slowly, quietly… it began to change ...

Celebrating the People Who Make Camp Possible

It is our opportunity to pause, gather, and say from the bottom of our hearts: Thank you! On Sunday, May 17, 2026, Warm Beach Camp will ...

A Therapeutic Experience

Each summer, Warm Beach Camp has the privilege of welcoming teens and adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities to Camp SunSparrow to attend a week of Day Camp. During this time, they have fun, make friends, and gain new and impactful life skills and experiences. Amidst the busyness of the summer months, one activity that stands out is the thoughtfully coordinated horse encounter, which is brought by Warm Beach Horsemanship team members one afternoon a week. This activity has ...
