Our Four-Legged Stool

Welcome to 2022! I am so glad that you have been a companion for this journey! THANK YOU for helping keep Sound View Camp afloat.

I have always considered Sound View’s core programs (Youth Camp, Outdoor Environmental Education, Family Camp, and Group Retreats) to each represent one leg of a stool. Remove just one leg, and we are wobbly at best. Remove three legs (as was the case in 2020-21), and camp is in a very precarious position. Although family camp thrived in the pandemic, we must get back to to having all four legs of the stool firmly in place.

The past two years have caused Sound View Camp to reinvent itself. Although frustrating, exhausting, and sometimes uncertain, this transformation has actually been good for camp. I know that in 2022, the camp will continue to be creative, and move forward., and eventually, all of the pieces of the puzzle that have been scattered or lost will once again be on the table - and fit to a completed picture. Each leg of the stool will once again help support our outdoor ministry.

THANKS AGAIN and I hope to see you and your family at Sound View Camp very soon.

Peace and Blessings for the New Year,

Kurt Sample
Camp Director
