This winter we have had less snow than we can remember in several years. The tubing hill and the ice rinks have had lots of activity, but the ski trails haven’t really been up to par. Usually the snow consumes much of our time with shoveling and plowing. Not having to do that has allowed us to spend more time on the new Crosscut Lodge. The insulation is completed, and most of the ceilings have paneling. Just last week we were able to get the boiler installed and running so we even have heat in the building. It is fun to see how technology has changed over the years. Our boiler looks more like a water softener than something that can heat the entire building along with the domestic water. Our winter camper numbers have been very good. It is good to know that God continues to use this place to draw folks to himself.  
One of the unique things about camp is how we can be wrapping up one camping season and beginning the next. Registrations for our spring retreats are coming in. Work groups are contacting camp. Soon summer camp brochures will go out. Counselor recruitment is in full swing. That also means that turkey hunting is just around the corner! Our family continues to do well. We certainly want to thank you for your faithful support and encouragement! We continue to be delighted that God has seen fit for us to serve Him here.
