Camp MiVoden Prepares to Reopen
May 27, 2020
Summer camp set to reopen for summer!
Dear Friends of MiVoden and our Upper Columbia Conference Family,
After much prayer, we are excited to announce that Camp MiVoden is a “go” for this summer, and we can’t wait for our campers to show up! Things will look a little different this year as we implement precautions and safety protocols to help keep our campers safe. We will continue to operate within the guidelines of our county, state, and federal governments along with the American Camping Association (ACA). Our staff will be working hard to minimize COVID risks while maintaining the charm of the MiVoden experience. We’ll be sending out more information over the next few weeks through our website, social media accounts, and email to help you know what is happening this summer.
For those planning on attending or thinking of attending camp this summer, we will let you know what to expect and how to best plan for your time at camp. This week we will also be updating our website at www.mivoden.com. We look forward to running camp this summer and seeing many of you at MiVoden!
Jeff Wines,
Camp MiVoden Director
