Blomidon Bible Camp Summer Update - May 2020
We have been so blessed to see how Blomidon Bible Camp has grown since restarting in 2016. Our wonderful ministry teams have given our campers great experiences, evidenced by the fact that they continue to return summer after summer bringing family and friends. We were anticipating and preparing for another great summer.
When the coronavirus began making its impact on our region in March, we started praying and planning a response. We have spent time considering the risks and restrictions. Sadly, this process has led us to the conclusion that we do not feel it is wise for us to continue to plan to host our scheduled overnight summer camps. In addition to our concerns, the provincial government is saying much the same and has suspended overnight camp until further notice.
All registration payments and deposits already received can be fully refunded, can be changed to a donation, or can be carried forward to our anticipated 2021 season. Please let us know which option you would prefer if you had already registered for this summer.
We are so grateful and blessed as we see just how much Blomidon Bible Camp means to our camp families. We will all feel a sense of disappointment and grieve the loss of something we have grown to value and love.
We also know God is working in many ways in this challenging time. We take great comfort and feel a clear sense of purpose knowing He is in control. We are now planning new ways to serve our camp families and churches. We want to stay engaged in the lives of our campers, and we want Blomidon Bible Camp to continue to be a haven this summer. We want to do this by creating unique opportunities for worship, service, and fellowship within the restrictions of our health authority. Come summer’s end, because of these opportunities, we believe our camp will be stronger and healthier. Details about our new summer initiative will be coming soon.
Thank you for being a part of our camp family. We are praying for you during these challenging days.
