Spring in Nordegg

Some days it feels like spring is FOREVER away! Over March and April we had snow at least 2 days out of the week making it hard for the snow that was already on the ground to melt. As May is almost here we still have tons of snow but the color brown is starting to show and the promise of spring. Joelle and Liam are really excited about all the mud that is around camp, which means a load of muddy, wet clothes go into the wash every night.

 Another thing that spring brings to camp is new staff. They just finished up the week of staff training which was cold and had a few days with sleet and snow. Despite cold weather they paddled on the river, rock climbing training, mountain biking, group management and scenarios. We are excited for what the summer is going to bring with these new staff. We are now heading into our busy season with May and June full of school groups the camp will be full of stories and laughter. Looking forward to see what things God is going to do here this summer.

Troy and the maintenance staff are really close to having the third cabin complete, they are in the finishing touches with baseboards, paint touch ups, building the ladder brackets. It will be nice to have that project complete and back to the every day maintenance like making sure the vehicles are running.

A prayer request I have would be for the new staff that just arrived. For them to feel welcomed by the year round staff community, and for the campers that will be coming through Frontier over the next 4 months that they will see God in our staff through everything they do.
