Workdays are scheduled the next three Saturdays, February 6, 13, 20. A workday is a great time to serve as a family or teamed up with son(s) or daughter(s) serving with dad or mom to help us with projects. Projects to get done are: cutting down dead trees, log splitting, haul large logs to saw mill area, finish new cabins (tarps side curtains, & bunk bed mattresses), clear & clean the teaching area at Woodworking Shop, various clean-up projects at the Lodge, First Aid Station, kitchen, laundry room, etc.



Day Camps

March 15-19, Spring Break, Camp Wilderness Ridge is offering Day Camp for Bastrop County. We expect to have 40 boys and girls, ages 5-12. We’ll share Bible Stories and lessons. The boys and girls will participate in CWR activities: canoeing, rifles and archery, zip-line, and climbing wall, craft, nature hikes, etc. plus the newest active The Ga Ga Pit (Israel dodgeball).



Please consider serving with us that week or part of the week. You can stay at the camp overnight either in the lodge, a cabin, your RV, or tent camp. We’ll provide meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) each day for volunteers. To let us know you are coming prior to March 1st via either email: sandy@wildernessridge.com or call CWR office at 512-237-4442. If you are 18 or older we must do a background check so provide full name, primary address, social security number and birth date via email or U.S. mail.



Retreats & Campouts

We can use your help serving the church retreat groups and father/son or daughter campouts. What we need is help in kitchen tasks, meal set-up and servers, activities assistants (set-up/takedown, and supervisors) and clean-up. We provide meals and sleep accommodations (lodge, apartment, Director’s House or cabin) for volunteers. Please notify us ASAP to confirm accommodations. Calendar of these events is under Spring Retreats on CWR website.



Summer Camp 2010

Registrations for summer camp are already 50 campers which is a month earlier than last year. Prayerfully consider if God is calling you to serve at Camp Wilderness Ridge this summer. Men we need you to be Servant-Leaders for a group of 8 campers. Do you know a young man (14-17 years old) that is a candidate to be a SALT (Servant And Leadership Trainee)? Invite a boy (7-12 years old) or young man (14-17) to come to CWR this summer. The Summer Camp 2010 brochure is available. Let me know if you would like some send to you to distribute in your neighborhood or at church, school, or to business associates. Email: ron@wildernessridge.com to request brochures.



Summer Camp 2010 brochures were mailed on Friday, January 29th and an electronic version of the brochure can be accessed on CWR website. Also on the website is a mother’s testimonial of her 2009 camper. It begins “Brendan returned home after spending 5 days at Camp Wilderness Ridge. Surprisingly, my city boy had the time of his life. It is a Christian based camp for boys, and they get to do things that city boys don’t normally get to do. They went canoeing, fishing, learned archery, shot pellet guns, slept in open cabins, ate outside, and went without a/c for 5 whole days!” Go to: www.wildernessridge.com to read the complete story with pictures.



Summer Camp Scholarships

The trend for the past four years is 30% of the campers will be on scholarship. We need nearly $14,000 to meet that need. To date we have commitments of $3,800 for the scholarship fund. Please contribute what you can to meet the needs.
