This lovely group from the Outdoor Ministries, utilized our Craft Lodge to put together their supplies for a second round of Virtual Camps. In lieu of in-person camps, the virtual camps were so popular as we are needing to connect, even from afar to help us get through the seclusion of the pandemic. Their Outdoor Ministry groups wore masks while they safely organized and prepared supplies in the bright, sunny, and airy room of the Craft Lodge. https://www.uccr.org//virtual-camp-preparation-pilgrim-pin

Pilgrim Pines Camp Family Camp-Open! Pilgrim Pines Camp is home to the most wonderful old trees. Our 150+ year old white oaks needed some TLC and that is why we are so grateful to have Jessie, owner of Inland Empire Tree Care, come and tend to them. Jessie and his wife Lilliana love and care about Pilgrim Pines Camp as much as we do! Jessie worked in the Junior Camp area on our beautiful trees for about a week. Needless to say we have plenty of firewood for years to come whic...h means plenty of s’mores and singing around the fires circle! Though as we write this, Pilgrim Pines Camp is still not open to large groups, individuals and families can sign up for family camps! We are including information about the offerings below: Pilgrim Pines Camp and Conference Center, owned by the Southern California Nevada Conference of the United Church of Christ, is proud to announce a social distance camping experience starting July 2020.

WE love KUDOS! Thank you for the Yelp Review Elena! "Just had a wonderful two-night camping trip, using the cabin option. Perfect weather and the staff was super attentive. Given all the limits from COVID-19, this was a really nice way to get away to a clean, safe, and beautiful spot. They provided a campfire, fresh ice, and trash services. We will come back!"

P.S. Michael says hello Without guests we can empty and paint the inside of the walk-in fridge! It surely needed a fresh coat and we were always too busy feeding groups of people to get to this task. It is just 45 degrees in the walk-in, but this friendly fellow doesn’t mind a bit. p.s. Michael says hello.... https://www.uccr.org/news/ps
