SUMMER UPDATE

Thank you for your prayers and support over the groups who attended camp this summer. We watched God move in big ways over the past three months. He is faithful and generous!

Retreat Overview

Work Week - Our summer started with a wonderful group of volunteers working to prepare the lodge and the grounds. Thank you to our volunteers for your hard work and willingness to serve during this time!

Dadventure Experience - in partnership with Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church (Chattanooga, Tennessee) and Pack Country Outfitters. During this group we got to witness fathers and sons/daughters form a lasting bond and experience a week of camping and adventures on the ranch. The Lord did a mighty work in bringing this community together to form friendships and deepen relational bonds between kids and their fathers. 

SOROCO Middle and High School Retreats – We love our South Routt Youth! It was such a joy to grow in friendship, deepen relationships with one another, and with Jesus during our middle school and high school retreats. The kids experienced joy and triumph while visiting the ranch this summer. We prayed for breaking of chains and bondage from shame, gossip, and sin. Continue to pray for this community and the revival that is occurring within the schools. This is a special group, and we believe that God has great things in store.

VBS - in partnership with Cherry Valley Community Church and The Red Church in Yampa we served 30 elementary students at Destination Dig this summer. This was a record-breaking number, and we are so thankful for the students who the Lord brought through the doors of the church during this week! Students got the chance to uncover the truth about Jesus and see how archeology supports the Bible. They learned that the Bible is true, and history proves it! Thank you to all our volunteers for helping to make this happen. We are looking forward to VBS 2022 where we will learn about who God created us to be and what our identity is in Him.

Horsemanship Bible Camp – in partnership with South Routt Bible Church we facilitated a horsemanship retreat for youth in the community. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with kids that we had served during earlier retreats and to learn from guest speaker, Ronnie Moyer.

Do The Dreams – aging horse woman retreat in partnership with Pack Country Outfitters. The two retreats we ran with this group were inspiring. Our role was limited, but we helped prepare the horses every day and got the opportunity to meet some amazing women from across the country.

 

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”

Ephesians 2:8-10
