WELCOME
OUR
MISSION:
"To
Reflect Christ through Serving Others"
A WORD FROM OUR
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR
Genesis
18: 4-5,
"Please let a
little water be brought and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under
the tree; and I will bring a piece of bread, that you may refresh
yourselves; after that you may go on, since you have visited your
servant."
What a joy it has been to be in partnership with all of the guest
groups who came to Redwood Glen this past summer.
In spite the economy, people came in great numbers and for all sorts of
reasons:
you came to rest and be rejuvenated;
you came to play in the ball field and dangle your feet in the pool;
you came to walk the trails among the redwood trees, observe the deer
in our apple orchard and visit the beautiful pacific coast.
Primarily, you came to seek God for the first time or to seek a deeper
relationship with Him.
We have been honored to partner with you by providing a clean, safe and
comfortable facility and environment, great food and a great staff
whose only desire is to minister to you while you are with us.
On behalf of the Housekeeping staff, Maintenance staff, Foodservice
staff and Guest Services staff, I would like to say thank you for a
great and blessed summer season.
You are the reason we do what we do.

Hello Friend of Redwood Glen
WELCOME
to the monthly online
newsletter of Redwood Glen, your local Bay Area Christian Camp and Conference Center. If
you would like to
subscribe and receive this monthly newsletter via email, please
register your
address via the link on our homepage (www.redwoodglen.com).
As summer turns into fall, the staff takes a collective breath as we
assess the season that was and prepare for the season that will
be. While Marsh celebrates the success of the summer, we are
asking all of you, as our camp friends and family, to consider the
blessing of camp in your life and to share them with us. With the
grounds also taking a breath after a busy few months, our staff has
assessed our equipment needs as the wear and tear of day to day labor
takes its toll. Would you consider making a financial
contribution so that Redwood Glen can continue to effectively serve our
guests this fall?

ARE YOU
MISSING CAMP? We're missing you, too!
 With school back
in session and summer vacations completed, the sounds of kids running
through the woods have given way to the quiet rustling of wind in the
trees as the deer graze peacefully on the grass in the ball
field. Fall has
come to Redwood Glen.
As much as we enjoy the breathing room this season brings, we do miss
YOU, and the hustle and bustle of the continuous stream of summer's
smiling faces.
If you are
you missing camp (as we are missing you), we have suggestion.
Would you
consider taking a few minutes to write up a few sentences about one of
the following?
- WHAT do
you miss most about camp?
- WHY is
Redwood Glen meaningful to you?
- HOW have
you grown in your faith because of your time in the redwoods?
- ANYTHING
that you would like to share and would want others to know about the
significance of Redwood Glen in your life.
 As we gear up
for next summer and create publicity to bring new groups to our
facilities, we are wanting to incorporate the stories and testimonies
from people like you who know the value of time on retreat, the fun of
a week of camp, the renewal that comes from the redwoods.
Whether a first time camper or a lifelong Redwood Glen "camp booster,"
we hope that you will consider sending us your story and testimony to
help us as we share the ministry of Redwood Glen with others.
As our 2010 summer theme declares, What happens at camp,
doesn't stay at camp!
We hope that you will share with us how camp has been a blessing in
your life and in the life of your family. Send your stories to us
at news@redwoodglen.com
or mail it to: 100 Wright Drive, Loma Mar, CA 94021.

WILL CHRISTMAS COME EARLY?
Not only does our camp staff work hard all year, but our camp EQUIPMENT
also takes a beating. As we assess our post-summer needs, there
are three wish list items which would help our ministry run more
effectively all year-long.
Will you consider making a financial
contribution so that Redwood Glen might continue to provide the
best service for our guests?
Our current equipment needs include:
(1) vacuum
cleaners: Day in and day out, week after week, month after
month our vacuum cleaners work hard to remove all that redwood dirt and
dust that gets tromped into buildings and rooms with each group.
Down one machine this season and given all the buildings we have, our
housekeeping staff did a stellar job with two vacuum cleaners we have
on site. We know another one is needed.
(2)
All-Terrain Vehicles: You think going up the MacArthur hill is
a challenge, imagine the wear and tear on our camp vehicles that zip up
and down the trails and into Indian Point. Named "Bill" and
"John" after the donors who financed them, our current gas-powered
vehicles have seen their share of shop repairs. "Bill" and "John"
are looking for a "Mary" or "Jose" to join their team. Would you
consider being a donor for our next ATV? You'll get to help name
him (or her).
(3) Portable
Pressure Washers: As much as our staff enjoys the beauty of the
redwoods, there is something about the dust of the redwoods that
collects not only on the carpets indoors, but also builds up on the
outside of the buildings and roofs. Pressure washers give our
maintenance crew a leg up on this task, and a small, one person
pressure washer will allow for portability and flexibility.
If you are able to financially support one of these items, please
contact Marsh at director@redwoodglen.com.
We would love to talk to you about the opportunity of partnering with
you in making items from our wish list a reality.
