​​I have been a life-long resident of these beautiful San Bernardino mountains. I raised and homeschooled my 7 kids here, then went on to serve in Youth Ministry for my Church. I love working with kids and parents, and helping with the registration process for a wonderful Camp experience.

Administration

Joel Rude
Executive Director

I sort of grew up outdoors - on a farm, in the woods, at the lakes in Minnesota. One such lake is where Jesus shaped me deeply at a Bible camp. Providing similar experiences for others keeps me going. I love helping churches disciple their children (of all ages) through this place and its people.
