From the Camp Director,
The staff is waiting in expectation for camp to start. We are working hard to get Hanging Rock ready for all those who attend camp. We have been getting the grounds and buildings prepared, trying to get the Hanging Rock Inn remodel finished, raising money for the new flooring in the dining hall, gym and classrooms. All while serving schools with field trips, churches with retreats, traveling to churches, sharing about camp, and taking bazooka tag to churches. But, we wait. We wait for the moment that summer staff arrive to train and we wait for Celebrate Good Times to kick camp off.
How good are you at waiting? I'm the worst!!! I am horrible at waiting. I love this scripture: “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
The waiting game can be hard. During times when we feel like we are waiting, we can ask ourselves if we are ready. If we are asking God to provide, are we ready for what the Lord to provide.
So, while we wait, we get ready. We need your help to make sure we are ready for the Lord to provide.
We know the Lord will provide people to come to camp. We know that the Lord is going to provide the resources for us to do camp and provide for our projects. But, we wait. While we wait we get ready. To get ready we need you. Will you and your church help us to get ready. Will you and your family be the ones the Lord is leading to provide the resources.
Camp is Coming, Let's Get Ready.

JON’S JOTS
“Now it springs up, do you not perceive it?” - (God)
Has God ever sprang up something new in you life? I mean, if its good its from God (James 1:17). But sometimes the jury may still be out for a while as to whether or not whatever it is that sprang up is good.
I’m sure that you’ve had some things spring up. I certainly have!
Some things such as the seasons and some of the activities for the seasons are fairly predictable. Other things, like who will hear and how will they respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirt, not quite so much. But this much I do know. God is already at Hanging Rock and I believe He will show out in a big way time after time this camp season!
Would you consider joining me in prayer asking our Lord and His Holy Spirit to work in hearts and minds, drawing into an abiding hike with Him, all those who will experience Hanging Rock this season.
Whenever you see God doing things that only God can do: drawing people to Him & changing lives, ask yourself this question; How can I go and be part of what God is doing?
God certainly does these things at camp! Do you not perceive it!
Would you consider being part of what God is doing here? Together we can make Hanging Rock inviting, beautiful, fun and ready for people to meet and hike with the Son of God!
Thank you for praying and thank you for all your efforts!
Hope to see you on Saturday May 6th for workday and Thursday May 18th for 413ers.
Come Volunteer, we need you!

We could really use some help on this to finalize everything that needs to be done before camp starts.
We will have something for everyone. We encourage homeschoolers, retired folks, women and men.
There will be plenty to do. Come out and serve and have great fellowship with others.

| From the Associate Director, |
It is that time of year again! Camp is right around the corner, and we are feverishly getting things ready for all the campers who will be here to learn about Jesus! What better time of year than this!? With that being said I am looking for some volunteers in the kitchen to help prepare the meals for the campers this summer. I have already lined up a few ladies who are willing to come over from time to time to help in the kitchen but am always open to more help! If you, or your small group, or Sunday School class, or Bible Study group would like to come help in the kitchen please reach out to me and I will let you know when I will need the help. It can be for just a meal, a day, a few days, a week, the same day each week, I think you get my drift. You do not have to be a gourmet chef; I don’t even classify for that. You don’t even need to have experience in a commercial kitchen. You just have to have a heart willing to serve The Lord and the people here at camp!
Reach out to me via email at toddblair@hangingrock.org and we can figure out what would work best!

| 2023 Flooring Projects,
We have $13,000 on hand for the flooring projects. We still have a few fundraisers coming up that will help fund this project. We anticipate all the flooring to cost around $35,000. We do have some tripping hazards and broken up concrete in the dining hall that we plan to address by sanding , waxing and sealing the floor. We will be replacing the carpet in the gym and 2 of the classrooms with carpet squares and one classroom with vinyl plank to be used for a craft room. We would love for you to join us in this effort.
