Camping! It's for all ages!
There are five great camps within our Methodist church conference, and now’s the time to make your camp plans. Camps include Camp Magruder at the coast, Suttle Lake in central Oregon, Camp Latgawa in southern Oregon, Wallowa Lake in eastern Oregon and Sawtooth in Idaho.
There are great camps for children, youth, adults, and families, so really, there’s no excuse not to go. Camp brochures are available through the church office, or go to www.gocamping.org for even more information.
And we have camperships! (Like scholarships, but you don’t have to be scholary, just camperly.) First, register through the conference; lowest prices available for camp are for registrations in early May, then, let Mari Rudd know your camp plans to get on our list for camperships. Mari’s number is 503-235-0517 or rudd-family@comcast.net.
Make a lifetime of memories - go camping!
