2025 Lake Site Junior 1
Junior 1 – Christmas Camp is finished. Thank you, for trusting us with your child for this week. We were reminded of Love, Joy, Peace and Hope by Dan in the chapel sessions. The Love Jesus showed in his sacrifice, the Joy that life with him brings, the Peace he brings to our lives and the Hope we have in his return. We sang worship songs and Christmas carols in the chapel and around the campfire. Our camp directors, Verity and Diana, ensured that we had a lot of fun, by planning activities, tasks and games that reminded us of the Christmas season where we celebrate Jesus coming to us “in the flesh”
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. - John 1:14
I hope you hear the stories about the camp, but a week at camp can be pretty tiring, so you might not get all the details you want from your camper. Don’t worry! You can view the photos here
The people who decide how Camp develops are the people who love it and use it. In all ways, your child’s camp experience is the result of contributions and gifts from people who value camp: Crow belongs to God, and to you. We do not have a backup plan. In all ways, Crow is operating on faith. This week (and every week!) the staff at Crow (almost all of them!) are volunteers. And financially, Crow continues to operate (as it always has!) by donation.
We are trusting God’s provision for
Food
Utilities
Program Supplies (pool noodles and water balloons; but also tarps, vans, backpacks, climbing harnesses, canoe paddles and life jackets… and everything else
Crow exists because people. and families like yours commit to:
Volunteer
Plan
Pray

Donate
There’s so much you can do to help us.
Volunteer: We’d love to see you again this summer. Contact volunteer@crowcamp.ca to volunteer at Crow Camp, and tell Mason & Liz to give you a job. We have something to do that fits you - your schedule, and your talents
Plan: The task of directing this camp, and this ministry, belongs to all of us. Planning for Crow’s future is our privilege - and yours. It’s our responsibility, and yours. In small things, and in big things, we - all of us! Including you! - are empowered, and expected to discern and actualize God’s intentions for Crow. If you have ideas:
Invite me for coffee. Text me at 403-715-2399 or email doc@crowcamp.ca;
Meet the Camp Board, and help discern & accomplish God’s vision for Crow.
Learn more on our website, www.crowcamp.ca/about/board, or send an email to board@crowcamp.ca
Crow’s next board meeting is scheduled for September 20, 2025
Pray: It matters that you think of us, remember us, and bring us to God as you pray
Promote: Help us recruit families, campers & staff who you think might be able to contribute to or benefit from a week, or a season, or more at Crow!
Donate: By our estimate, this past week of Junior One Camp at Crow cost $120/camper/night. This cost was fully covered by donations that Crow had already received. Crow intends to continue this tradition and will remain fee-free, as parents and donors continue to contribute. Not all families will be able to give immediately, and not all families will be able to give much, but that’s fine. Our funding model only requires that every family commits to giving regularly; as they are able; and as they feel led. Scan the QR Code above to visit www.crowcamp.ca/donate
There’s so much that is good happening at Crow. Thanks again for trusting your kids with us. We had a blast. We’ll see you again - hopefully soon, and if not, then certainly next summer.
In Christ,
William Luchka
Acting Director of Camping
