SUMMER APPLICATIONS

February 28th, 2009 is the deadline on job posts and the website. However, if you downloaded the job application form the last page says March 10, 2006 which is obviously the incorrect date. We will continue to accept applications until March 10 just in case there was any confusion about 2006 & 2009. In the meantime, we are shortlisting applicants and will be calling qualified applicants for interviews over March 11 - 13th. If you require an answer sooner than the time period listed, please call us and let us know and we will do what we can to assist you! Thanks for your patience.

Melanie's Grand Bike Ride

Melanie Duckworth is a trooper. She will be riding her bicycle from Winnepeg, Manitoba to Chemainus, British Columbia this summer. This is 2408 km according to Google Maps and takes 1 day and 3 hours of DRIVING! (It doesn't give time estimates for bicycles.) Why is she doing this?

This spectacular feat is going to be accomplished because she believes in Camp Columbia. She believes in seeing young people come to know Christ in a meaningful way. She believes in forming lasting relationships with campers and with staff. She believes in the community, the family, and the brothers and sisters that are called to be at Camp Columbia. She believes this will help give Camp Columbia a better hope and future. She believes this furthers God's kingdom and she believes this will make a difference.

If you believe in the same things, please pledge to "Melanie's Grand Bike Ride". If you would be willing to work with her, gather pledges from your friends and neighbors. People can pledge for as little as ONE PENNY per KM up to $1 per KM. At the end of her ride, collect your pledges and mail the money in to "Camp Columbia - re: Melanie's Bike Ride". If you would like to make a pledge, please fill out the sheet for yourself and send your pledge by mail.
