Last weekend we had our Spring Mini-Camp and it was SO much fun! We made s'mores, rode around on the wagon, worked on a couple crafts for some sneak peak theme decorations this summer, climbed the rock wall, and made so many cookies!

We also got to celebrate 43 campers who have done all 15 (!!!) of their Grow Lessons and were invited to all 3 Mini-Camps this year!

It was a sweet end to our Mini-Camp season, and now we're all hands on deck for summer camp!

We’re on the hunt for cooks this summer! 🧑‍🍳

We have an opening for our Head Cook (leadership) and Assistant Cook positions! You could be the hero behind the spatula: working behind the scenes to feed 160+ campers and staff each meal, whipping up camp classics like Turkey Stroganoff, and hearing fairly routinely that a camper’s favorite part of their week at camp is the FOOD!

And the best part? You get to work with this wonderful woman all summer! 🤪

If you or someone you know is interested, have them submit an application at www.raybird.org/staff or email Mitch at [email protected] 🙂

DID YOU KNOW? 📚

We love visiting campers during the school year! It helps us in having continued relationship with them and it’s so valuable to have adults other than their parents for our campers to look up to. When we visit a camper we typically take them out for about an hour and get a snack or treat, practice string tricks, catch up on life, and pray with them!

CRB has a program assistant (meet Taylor!! 🤗) that works with Azia on planning and organizing our camper follow-up/visits and leads a Bible study for some of our oldest girls’ campers. She also lines up previous summer staff members to join in on the camper visits so that we can keep our summer staff members connected to our mission as well.

You may just see Taylor out and about with some friends one day! 🙂

Where the boys at?! 💥WE’RE HIRING! 💥🕺🏼

Our summer staff is filling up for this summer and we are SO excited for who the Lord has brought to join our team already, and are eagerly waiting to see who He will send our way. We have a few more positions open for male cabin leaders (must be 18+) and male support staff (maintenance, activities and lifeguard teams)! If you or someone you know is interested in joining the work that God is doing at CRB, send them to www.raybird.org/staff ☀️

We had SNOW much fun at our Winter Mini-Camp this weekend! Our campers got to go sledding, tie-dye shirts, play broomball on the frozen lake, AND get pulled on a 10 person sled behind our truck (in a *very* controlled environment:). We also drank lots of hot chocolate, played board games, and talked a lot about God’s love for us.

We’re so thankful for all the volunteers that showed up to make this happen, and we’re still praising the Lord for the amazing weather and fun snow He gave us! First Winter Mini in a long time to actually have some fun snow. ❄️🤗

A small glimpse into life at camp lately! You never know what a day will hold- sometimes it’s cleaning out a nest of flying squirrels from one of our rustic cabins (shout out to our awesome facilities team!!), some days it’s a pop-up game of ping pong while planning our Upper Crust revamp, one day was spent connecting with each other at our staff Christmas party, and every day we’re humbled by the generosity of others’ giving to camp and seeing how the Lord provides (one of the pictures is a note from one of our summer staffers that bought something from our wishlist).

We love being able to serve the youth in South Bend in such a fun, meaningful way and seeing how the Lord moves in the lives of so many people.
