Our new High Ropes Course at Camp
Carter and I were able to try out our new course at camp- these pics were taken 50 ft up! We had a blast and Carter really pushed past his comfort zone. I was so proud of him, as he doesn’t like heights. He then signed up with his cabin to do it as a camper this week. He was even more nervous than the first time, but with the encouragement of the staff up there with him, not only did he finish the entire course, but jumped off a 3 foot by 6 inch platform called the “leap of faith!” It was amazing!!!

Dinner Theater at CFS
Okay, so this is a bit out of order, but I’m new at this… For the past three Decembers, camp has produced a dinner theater experience that seats about 100 per night. I (Rebeccah) have been in the production for those years, and coordinated the banquet service for the meal this past year. (for those of you who check out our photostream to the left, you’ll see that my account is “beverage monkey.” that comes from coordinating the service at the banquets at camp, which I have done for a year and a half now…) It has been 100% fun and 100% exhausting each year. I have played “Lucy” from The Peanuts, a bitter, self-centered, materialistic wife (a real stretch…), a Christmas lightbulb, and a chain-smoking landlord. 
These pics capture some of the fun and crazy pace of putting on the show. Heather (LTD wife, actress, and make-up artist extraodinaire) is turning Steve into the aged apostle John.

Wonder about Camp and the Economy?...
We wonder too. And watch. And wait.
But so far, it seems that while people are slower to register, they still roll in. Wintertainment is a camp program for high-schoolers that we run between Christmas and New Year’s Day. We were full to capacity this year- about 250 kids and staff. One mom told a staff person with tears in her eyes that she couldn’t believe the difference in her daughter after having been at camp for a week. “I almost don’t know who she is,” she said. The speaker was used of God and the relationships touched her. We are priveledged to be a part of the miracle that God continues to work in a little forest clearing in the northwoods of Wisconsin.
So while times get harder for everyone, it seems that people are still making room in their strained budgets for getting away to a place where God meets the needy, seeking heart.
