No person, church or ministry has had a greater combined impact upon our Network than Camp Cedaredge.  Over the decades hundreds of ministers and missionaries have found their calling at her altars. The lives of children and teens have been transformed and placed on a divine trajectory.  Existing at the half-way point between many of our Colorado and Utah churches, she has unified us and given us a common ground.

2024 Update

The past year overall has shown us what God can do when we’ve done all we can do. Our team began the year with a sense of expectation that a lot needed to happen, but not always the clarity about how it was going to happen. We are pleased to report that business traffic has been steady, and more and more folks are still sensing and experiencing the importance of gathering for ministry in the camp context. This is a good thing for the business side of our camp ministry and facility, but also for the vitality of the Kingdom as people young and old are challenged, changed and charged toward service in biblical spiritual maturity and ministry.

As we have stepped out in faith, we knew this was a year where we couldn’t let the things we weren’t able to do keep us from doing what we were able to do, and we’ve witnessed God’s provision and help navigating through all of the intensity of the guest schedule combined with the project goals and deadlines that came with the improvements we set out to make. The result has been many great improvements in the facilities, but also improvements in volunteerism, staffing, strategy and investment into your campground and the life transformation that accompanies a healthy camp ministry.

In the past year, we’ve been able to improve several areas at your camp facility. These include, but are not limited to:

1. A new, larger, concrete patio to replace the rotted-out lumber deck adjacent to the snack bar.
   
   
2. Expansion of sweet shoppe space.
   
   
3. Completion of the new “bunkhouse” as a retrofit of the old game room.
   
   
4. A new game room facility more than doubling the capacity of the old space.
   
   
5. Several big maintenance fixes campus wide.
   
   
6. New full hookup RV sites being finished
   
   

New Internship Identity:

Our internship program has been a mainstay of staffing for our team over the years, and we are moving toward a new identity with that program which better fits the nature of the work that these special young people do
in the stewardship of your camp. The new name for the internship is the “Upstream Ministry Team”. We would describe the role of these important team members as investors and missionaries more than we would describe them as traditional interns, so we are moving away from that kind of description toward a new identity as ministry team members.

Volunteer involvement:

This past year has seen the most volunteer traffic of any year since my involvement with the camp. Between the RV volunteers, the participation in events such as Camp Investment Week and Camp Prep Week as well as folks plugging in to help us staff the local school events, etc. We’ve nearly doubled our volunteer base since years gone by. What a blessing it has been to see our network rally in this way to take ownership of this special place. We have been so encouraged to see it. Thanks to everyone who has played a part in this ownership aspect and helping us continue to steward this special place well to God’s glory.
