This year, we face some unique challenges where we are in dire need of counselors and other supporting staff. Regardless of whether or not you have done something like this before or are inexperienced, we need you! If we don’t get enough counselors volunteering to help, we will have to limit the number of campers that can attend. Contact Dustin/Mandy Hodel or Stephen/Susan Bertschi with any questions or to sign up. (see attachment below for more information)

Thank You from the Stollers - It is nearly impossible to find words that express how very much you all mean to us. God may have moved us away 11 years ago, but Roanoke will always be home and you all always welcome us with open arms when we come back to visit. This past week you have wrapped us in loving arms and covered us with loving support and prayers as we brought our precious Michael hope to be laid to rest.  We will never be able to thank you enough for all the love and care shown to us. The beautiful singing, and memorial service were such a comfort to our aching hearts. The delicious meal and all those who worked to prepare it and serve it were much appreciated. We miss our sweet Michael, he leaves a huge hole in our lives, but we rejoice that he is healed and pain free and with his Jesus who he loved so much. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for every part you played in easing our sadness. God bless you!
