Update on Camp MiVoden
April 21, 2020
Camp team addresses coronavirus
Spring is finally here in the Inland Northwest and we are looking forward to summer! Over the last month we have seen unprecedented developments in our society as a result of COVID-19. We know that many are concerned about summer camp and we have quite a few asking if we will have camp this summer.
Camp MiVoden is continuing to adapt to the changing landscape while we follow the guidelines set by the CDC, Federal Government, state of Idaho, Kootenai County Health Department, and the Upper Columbia Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Our desire and hope is to run camp this summer and we are planning and preparing for that possibility. However, in mid-May our board will be reevaluating the direction for MiVoden this summer. We will continue to post updates on our website and social media outlets as the situation changes.
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you who are affected, both physically and otherwise by this situation. We will continue to work to support our local community however we can while spreading a message of hope and healing in Jesus.
