By Ben Hagglund How do you say “thank you” to a place and ensure that others have the same opportunities for life-changing and life-saving experiences? As a boy, I was hooked at Father & Son Retreat. And Day Camp sealed the deal. As a second and third grader, my initial experiences at Warm Beach Camp were beyond comparison. The following year, I spent two weeks in a row at camp: Family Camp and then Chinook Camp, with my birthday in the ...

By Mark Cutshall It’s called the Warm Beach Camp Challenge Course, and for 15 single adults from First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue, it proved to be one the most useful tools to prepare them for their upcoming short-term mission to Guatemala. “The series of interactive trust-based challenges allowed us to think, work, play and celebrate together. We got to know each other and really learn that, on a mission trip, everyone’s voice and everyone’s gifts are important and needed. It ...

By Mark Cutshall He was one frustrated, angry fifth-grade boy. Frustrated by looking up at the top of a climbing tower he knew he could never reach. And angry with his teacher, Marcie Trudeau, who wanted the best for him and was willing to say, “You know our class motto, Jeremy. You can at least give it a try.

By Mark Cutshall Crystal is almost deaf. Yet, she changed volunteer Kiya Tafoya forever at Special Friends Camp, a day camp uniquely designed for adults, age 15 and up, with developmental, emotional and physical needs. “One day during worship, we were dancing in the back of the room.

Miraculously, Bo’s father came to the Lord. The family reunited and began attending church. Bo heard the salvation prayer, and he prayed it from his heart. “I believed God was the real deal.” But his faith waned. Drug dealers became his close friends.

“I don’t want to be the statistic.

"This was a great, somewhat difficult time. The acceptance of the reality that marriage is very difficult and work, but worth it was a valuable concept to me." "Thank you, team, for investing in us, and sharing from your experiences, and life.
