😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉I have finally remembered how to get back into my blog account!!
A lot has happened here at Frontier since the last blog post so I will touch on some old things and what is new here at Frontier. We have seen two seasons with Explore come and go, new cabins were built to accommodate the growth that Explore brought to camp. Explore has been a really cool partnership for us here, much like our program Ascend it had outdoor skills, Biblical teaching and leadership development. For a closer look at what the program is like here is a link to the Schools site http://prairie.edu/Bible-College/Explore or check it out on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ExploreWildernessLeadershipProgram/
Now two summers after building three duplex cabins complete with washrooms Tory is building another building! This house is being built to house the Directors of the Explore Program. Trees have already been dropped at the site where the house will be built which is exciting. With all the snow and mud we still have around they are waiting for frost to be out of the ground and some funds to begin to pour the foundation. The upstairs of the house will house the Directors while the basement will house Frontier staff. With all the growth the camp has seen the need for more staff and housing also grows.
Spring this year has seen a lot of change here at camp. Brad Andrews resigned from the Camp Director position this fall and is moving to Toronto where he will go to school for the next few years. We are sad to see them go but we are excited for what God has in store for their family. Joel Barrett stepped up into the Camp Director position earlier this spring, Joel has been on staff since summer 2013.
Our family is growing up! Joelle and Liam are both finishing up school Joelle is in grade one and Liam is in kindergarten. Mckaleigh is close to finishing up her first year of preschool and it is amazing to see how she has grown throughout this last year. In September Mckaleigh will be the only kid home on week days which will be a weird adjustment for her, she misses them when they are at school. She cant wait for fall 2018 when she will finally join them on the school bus and go to kindergarten!
As the kids have been growing up we have been able to become more involved in the community. Troy joined the fire department the beginning of 2016 and has been enjoying being apart of that community. I have had the opportunity to help lead a Family Literacy Program here in Nordegg the past 2 years. It has been really fun to be out in the community and spending time with other families that have kids around the same ages as ours. Last summer I worked in The Miners Café in Nordegg and learned to make delicious pie! If you are out in the area this summer on a weekend be sure to stop in and say hi to me.
This is all for now but I am hoping to write a post every few months (as long as I can remember the password) Happy Spring!!
