Staff Opportunity for Family Camp 2011

Do you:

• enjoy working as part of a close-knit team of believers committed to a critical ministry?

• find satisfaction in turning raw ingredients into delicious meals?

• have time available to spend at Camp Li-Lo-Li between July 2 - July 9?

If so, we would love to have you come and participate as part of our kitchen staff for Family Camp 2011. David & Amy Larter are our Head Cooks this year, and we are especially interested in having a larger staff than in the past so everyone involved is able to be rested and refreshed during the week, as well as be able to enjoy all that Family Camp has to offer.

We have scheduled to two outstanding speakers—Ben Mathew (Emmaus Bible College) and Bob Johnson (an excellent speaker from Canada)— who will be ministering to us from God’s Word during the week.

If you think you might be interested or want more information, please contact either Mark White (mark.lori.white@ gmail.com) or Jim O'Shea (joshea@rochester.rr.com), the Family Camp co-directors.


This is a critical staff need for this year, but also a great opportunity for serving our Lord Jesus and fellowship with His people.


We hope to see you there!

Archery Basic Instructors Course

As we continue to build our pool of qualified instructors at camp, we want to announce the schedule for this year's Archery Instructors Training. To open the archery range at Camp Li-Lo-Li requires an NADA Basic instructor certification. NADA (National Alliance for the Development of Archery) is the training organization for the two main national archery organizations (USA Archery and National Field Archery Association). The stated purpose of the Basic certification, "To introduce how to teach archery to a new instructor, who has most likely never shot before." Scope of training includes safety, range setup, basic equipment setup and repair, and teaching the basic steps of shooting. The certification process is broken into approximately 50% classroom training and 50% hands-on instruction at the archery range.

This nationally recognized course will enable you to be an archery instructor and open the archery range at camp and elsewhere. Mark White will be teaching the course at camp, starting at 7:00 PM on Friday July 29th and dismissing on Saturday evening (the 30th) after supper. The cost of the training materials is $20 per person which includes receiving the certification card immediately at the conclusion of the training (which is good for 3 years). Pre-registration will run through Friday, July 15th to ensure we have enough sets of training materials for everyone. All other necessary equipment for the training will be provided by Camp. 

The course is open to staff members age 17 and up. For more information, contact Mark White at Mark.Lori.White@gmail.com. If you know anyone who has expressed an interest in being an archery instructor at Camp and needs a Basic instructor class, please have them contact Mark at the email address above.

Help create memories in the lives of campers for years to come! Register early!

Wilderness First Aid Training Postponed!

Due to the overwhelming number of conflicts that happen in the spring, we have postponed the Wilderness First Aid training for now. We are hoping to re-schedule for later in the year. If this something you would like to be a part of, please leave a message here or contact Betsy McIntee (abmcintee@gmail.com) to let her know you are interested.

This training is especially important if you are involved on the Ropes Course, Wrangling or participate in any of our overnight out-of-camp trips. You must be currently certified in CPR.

Sign up soon so that we can include you in the next training!

Spring Finally Comes!

Stacy Bodder and John Cole started mowing today! The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the grass was growing so fast, you could almost hear it! Trees that have been dormant for a long time are growing leaves and birds are building nests everywhere around camp. So far we have seen a number of rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Goldfinches, Hummingbirds, swallows including a cliff swallow, and even an Indigo Bunting! It is great to see the wildlife return to camp after the long winter months.

So spring is here, which means the camp season is not far behind. There are plenty of cleaning projects still required to get camp ready for the new season. If any of you have any time to come down for a Saturday workday, please let Larry Thompson know so that he have projects ready for every skill level!

Remember too, that we are still trying to fill many volunteer staff positions for camp. If you have not received a staff application and want one, please contact Dave Larter, or leave a comment on here!

And most of all, keep praying. We believe that God is going to bless us in great ways this summer!

CPR Re-Certs

For any still requiring their CPR Re-certification, we will be holding another day at camp on May 21, 2011. Please let Betsy McIntee know if you will be coming down that day.

Thanks!
