By RMCNews with Sue Nelson – Ward, Colorado … Glacier View Ranch came alive, August 5 through 8, with the sounds of laughter and joy as 170 Pathfinders and one bear flocked to the camp for the annual RMC camporee.
The yearly event, which was canceled last year, began with honors and activities. The group also did the typical Pathfinder activities, including flag raising and lowering each day, with the clubs providing the color guards. Inspections were held for the best-themed campsite, with the winning club receiving a gift certificate to Cabela’s.
Sabbath was the highlight of the event, according to Sue Nelson, RMC Pathfinder co-coordinator. “We were blessed to have Pastor Michael Taylor [from Campion church] speak to us about learning to study God’s Word using the acronym, S.O.A.P. Ask a Pathfinder what that is.”
Dan Hansen, Glacier View Ranch manager, spoke to the Pathfinders about Moses during Sabbath School, which included a peanut butter sandwich and another one-of-a-kind sandwich.
The afternoon was packed with adventure as the Pathfinders set off for an activity that combined orienteering and geocaching.
The weekend concluded with a program honoring Papa Don and Mema (Don and Chris Hill) for their 15 years of service to the Pathfinder and Adventurer ministries in RMC as they have moved to Arkansas to retire.
