Bingle Camp is looking for kitchen staff from June 1 - August 5, 2008. Experience is preferred. Contact Lisa Eldridge, 479-0562 for a Job Description or email director@binglecamp.org So much that happens at camp, occurs because you make it happen! You make the difference. Bingle Camp’s many years of service are a direct result of the hard work of many volunteers. The faces change but the method is the same. Summer staff come for a season to work directly with the campers that attend our programs or host groups that rent the facilities. As we embark on our 55th summer, you can help support camp financially or through your time and talents. YOU can also help by spreading the word that we need summer workers. Personal contact with people you come in contact with is the best way to spread the word about the ministry happening at Camp! As I have mentioned, Bingle Camp needs partners to assist in continuing the ministry that has developed. Please consider how you can help with the many needs that are mentioned in this newsletter whether that be:
Mark you calendars and please join us for a fun day of fellowship at our Open House, which is YOUR opportunity to meet staff and see all the new improvements that so many volunteers have worked to make happen. My efforts are rewarded by the squeals, laughter and joy that abounds in the campers during weekly camps. Smiling faces, changed lives and new found love for Christ makes all of our efforts worth all the extra time and love that you spend helping camp. In just about 67 days the youth from all over Alaska are going to be at the gates anticipating a rewarding week of camp. May God bless and Guide you! Your gift enables CAMP to continue. May you be blessed as you give financially, or through time and talents, to those that benefit from a place called Bingle Camp!
