Camp Bountiful Meeting – October 15, 2022
Volunteers are the lifeblood of Camp Bountiful! We would like to honor volunteers, new and old, at camp at 12:30 pm on Oct. 15 This includes all those who have been on staff at camps and reunions, those who have cooked, served as camp nurse, volunteered at work days/camps or in any other ways. Please forward this information to as many as possible.
We invite any who want to camp Friday or Saturday nights of Oct. 14-15 to come free of charge. No food will be available but the lodge and cabins will be open. For those who haven’t done so, come take a tour of the newly remodeled 4-plex, the addition of handicapped parking at the shelter house and the renovated baths in the lodge.
The volunteer recognition will be followed by the annual Camp Bountiful Association meeting, where we will approve the 2023 budget and review the finances of the campground.
Women’s Retreat 2022
Please mark your calendars for September 16 – 18, 2022 for Women’s Retreat. Bruce and Gloria Crockett will be guest ministers. The theme this year is Traditions, Transitions and Transformations. Registration and further details will be forthcoming. Deborah Hanes will be the Retreat Director.
2022 Camp Bountiful COVID-19 Protocol Update
Greetings all:
Please take a moment to peruse the current Camp Bountiful COVID-19 Protocol for summer camps. Although the intention was to do this for our youth camps only, this may also be the protocol for reunion and retreats. I’ve consulted with people in our own area and also camps from other parts of the country and have run it past Apostle Carter.
There is no standard nationwide policy but all of those consulted have some restrictions for attending camps. Some are allowing only up-to-date vaccinated persons to attend camp. Some are not allowing any singing, even at outdoor campfires. Some are using cohorts – that is, having the same people eating and sleeping together to reduce exposure. Some were still debating on how to have camps.
There’s no guarantee we won’t have additional changes. We have no idea what variants could be in play in two months when camps actually start. Let’s hope things only get better between now and then.
Bountiful blessings,
Vern
Updates for Camp Bountiful 2021
A HUGE Thank You to the wonderful people who have given their time and hard work to Camp Bountiful this year. With their help, we have been able to complete many projects that continue to keep our campground safe and beautiful.
The handicap parking pad has been poured! The contractors finishing it used to work with Ronnie and Mike Blevins from Pleasant Valley, so they came up and helped their old buddies.
Thanks to Rachel Fant for power-washing the cabin steps so that they can be re-finished!
CC1 has been re-sided, primed, and painted! Thanks so much to Debbie Hanes and Connie Humphrey.
The playground has been re-mulched and looks great!
