Kent and Joy were at Costco buying some bedding and supplies for Green Valley House when a Highland guest recognized them and very kindly paid for the whole cart load! What a blessing!
There are so many things to purchase and arrange as we prepare to open Green Valley House for guest use. Blinds and ceiling fans have been installed, rugs arrived yesterday, we have mattresses and bedframes on the way, and so on. Pictures 2-4 give some peeks into what it looks like in there today.
We`re doing a soft opening this summer, with our first guests using the building later this month. When Green Valley House is officially open for guest bookings, we`ll spread the word!

Along with Navigators Camp, we also had Resident Camp A here the week of June 14-18. This was a great group of kids ages 9-11, and they helped us start the summer off well! Enjoy these pictures of some of the fun moments during their camp week. (post 3 of 3)

The week of June 14-18 was our first camp session, and it included two camps: a resident camp and our special Navigators Camp. Navigators is unique in that it`s designed to be a blend of camp fun and leadership training for older teens, feeding directly into our LIT program: several of our Navigators campers will be back as junior staff later in the summer. Our small group of Navigators joined in some of the resident camp activities, taking on a sort of "big brother" role for the younger campers. I think you can tell from these pictures that the interactions were enjoyed by all!

We unfortunately have had to cancel our Family Camp due to low enrollment. But on the bright side, that means we can open July 3-5 to ANYONE who is looking for a peaceful campground for the holiday weekend! We have camping cabins and campsites for tents or RVs available.
The pool will be open on Saturday afternoon, and on Sunday morning there will be a worship service in the Tabernacle that all our guests are invited to join. Rebecca Tyson, pastor of Trinity UCC in Timberville, was slated to be the speaker for Family Camp, and her whole church will be gathering in the Tab on July 5 for their Sunday service.
