MoreIt was on horseback at Chico Basin and at the A/U Ranches that I had some of my most formative moments – learning that through hard work, trustworthiness, prayer and reliance on God, I could make a positive difference in the world.
MoreIf you only heard one thing about forests over the last few years, it’s likely this: We should be planting millions of trees to slow climate change. With this in mind, you might be wondering why the A/U Ranches is planning to cut down more than half of its trees, on over half of its forested land.
MoreMy fellow graduates and I exchanged looks of joy and surprise, and it didn’t take long for the bittersweet mixture of gratitude and nostalgia to bring tears to some of us.
MoreRegardless of changes made to the structure of residential Youth Camp, what’s most important about camp will stay the same – growing closer to God, spending time with friends and participating in awesome activities.
MoreOur passion for working with kids was reinvigorated by our unique summer, and those of us whose lives had been upended by the pandemic found jobs and housing at the A/U Ranches and beyond.
MoreMaterial delays and increased costs, design changes and new ideas have all surfaced, and every challenge has been patiently met with the understanding that God’s creation is already complete.
MoreWhat looked like daunting times for Leadville/Lake County families beginning in March 2020 was made easier by the love and joy of those who serve others at 100 Elk. Quickly springing into gear, the 100 Elk staff created a summer adventure day camp and reached out to us at the Lake County Department of Human Services, asking, “What would it take to bring kids to this program?”
MoreStruggling to find peace in the unknown, I realized that I needed to hand this over to God. I stopped fearing and started trusting. I experienced the epitome of “letting go and letting God” and wow, was that a good choice!
MoreThis year has been like no other for Adventure Unlimited, but one thing is clear: While the format looks different, we are still finding new opportunities to open windows to God. We are grateful for the ways in which prayer has enriched our experiences both in serving new communities, like nearby Leadville, and serving our traditional constituency in new ways.
