​Mount Lassen Camp WINTER Update 2023

9/24/2023

0 Comments

 
Hello Northern California and friends of Mt. Lassen Assemblies of God Camp and Conference Grounds.
Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Rev. Walter L. Trumbo whom some of you already know from my 40 years of Pastoral ministry in Northen California. Since retiring from the full time Pastorate, we've been afforded the time to invest in the camp we've loved through all these years and have been donating time and labor helping with maintenance and upkeep in Mineral over the last 24 months which has resulted in being appointed to serve on the board... a definite honor.

First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who have served our camp during our long history, as well as to the dedicated staff, volunteers, and supporters who have tirelessly worked to make Mt. Lassen Assemblies of God Camp and Christian Conference Grounds the special place it is today. Your commitment and passion have created a welcoming "Mountain Top Retreat" for countless individuals, families and church groups and I am humbled to be a part of the team that helps to keep it that way.

With the recent shut downs that were mandated by the pendamic as well as the close down resulting from the Dixie Fire last year, we on the Camp Board were excited to open up for the varying church camps that took place here this year including our own A/G camps; Family Camp, Senior's Camp, Youth Camp and Kid's Camp. We're also excited about the many upgrades and improvements we've been able to provide this year and we're looking forward to full capacity camps next year. In fact, we're already booking 2024 camps and the schedule is already looking busy. If you're needing a beautiful, rustic camp in the tall pines for your church camp next year, contact us today to get on the schedule.

Subsequently, Gary McFarland, our Camp Board President felt it was time for him to step out of the position after serving faithfully, for several years, as ministry demands have increased for him personally and I found myself appointed to the position for the rest of this year. Humbled by the faith expressed by the board in my ability to fill the position, I'm struggling to get up to speed on the many areas of responsibilities that come under the jurisdiction of our very capable Camp Leadership as we plan for this winter and next years camps. 

Additionally, I have assumed responsibility for our Camp's online presence. Updating and improving this important vehicle will be a substantial focus for me over the winter months to come and I would welcome any input / suggestions that might be beneficial to that end. My personal email address is wltrumbo@gmail.com or you can use the "Contact Page" elsewhere on this website.

Mt. Lassen Assemblies of God Camp and Christian Conference Grounds has played a vital role in nurturing faith, building community in fellowship, and fostering personal development for generations resulting in exponentially diverse ministry (countless full time ministers and missionaries) around the world as well as in many of our local churches in Northern California and elsewhere. As we move forward, I am committed to preserving and enhancing these core values.
  1. Spiritual Growth: Our primary mission is to provide a space where individuals can deepen their spiritual connection with The Lord. I have often heard comments along the lines of, "this place is just so special",  as visitors exit their vehicles on the camp grounds. If, indeed, The Spirit seems to have any affinity with physical locations here on Earth, this is would have to be considered one of those places
  2. Community Building: In addition to building connection within local churches, youth groups and fellowship circles, Mt. Lassen Assemblies of God Camp and Conference Grounds is a community in and of itself with a long and blessed history. I will work diligently to strengthen our bonds, engage our supporters, and expand our reach to make our Camp community even more vibrant and supportive.
  3. ​Sustainability: We must be good stewards of the land and resources that have been entrusted to us. Our Camp Board and Leadership has faced significant challenges in recent years with inflating facility and food costs that must be addressed on a regular basis. While it is a ministry and not a "for profit" endeavor, we must be vigilant in monitoring both expenses and rates charged for services to remain soverign and viable for future generations until He Returns.  . We all know from buying a dozen eggs to putting fuel in the car to go and get them, budgets must be monitored faithfully in today's economy.  We as the Camp Board are committed to implementing affordable events while still ensuring the long-term sustainability and financial stability of our facilities. 
  4. Program Excellence: Our programs are at the heart of our mission. I will work closely with our staff and volunteers to enhance existing programs and develop new ones that inspire, educate, and empower with a primary focus of making every event an opportunity to connect with The Lord in the fullness of His Spirit.
Together, we can continue to make Mt. Lassen Assemblies of God Camp and Christian Conference Grounds a place of inspiration, transformation, and community "Till He Comes".  Thank you for your support and prayers and for sharing our vision. I look forward to meeting and working alongside all of you in the coming months.
In Him,
"Pastor" Walt Trumbo,
President of the Board,
 Mt. Lassen Camp and Christian Conference Grounds.

Senior Camp 2022 - Canceled

6/13/2022

1 Comment

 
​In this season of change, we have regretfully decided to cancel this year's senior camp allowing for the continued construction and capital improvements which are underway at camp.
 
These capital improvements not only include the traditional maintenance of paint and raking, but go much more deeper into the structural aspect of our campground. We are doing a complete rebuild and replacement of our central septic system. We are remodeling the upper bathrooms on both the men and the women side, along with replacing all of the toilets with more efficient and reliable models.
Picture
In addition, we are also thinning trees for fire mitigation and creating a standard mapping system for new guests to navigate to grounds.
 
Lastly, we are working with upgraded electrical at the RV Meadow as well as putting implements in place to repurpose Snob Hill for additional RV trailer space.
 
For our Seniors, Camp is an opportunity to disconnect from the bustle and enjoy the beauties of the mountain, while getting closer to God. As work continues on the grounds, we know that the added projects will create safety hazards - as well as detract from the best experience the grounds has to offer.
 
Stay tuned for progress updates as we are excited to show you all we’ve done!
 
If you would like to support any of these projects, through labor or financial donation - please give here, or contact us to get on the volunteer list.

Season of Change

4/15/2022

Season of Change - Postponement of 2022 Camp Spring/Summer Season
I​n April, we take a full month to rally volunteers and staff to open the grounds for Spring and Summer operations. This is a labor of love and a physically challenging task. Working through cuts, scrapes, tired muscles and the typical 12 to 16 hour day... our volunteers and staff work tirelessly  6 to 7 days a week... to get the grounds open and ready.

It takes an army and it takes commitment.

When the first camps arrive, we want this facility to be operational, safe and ready for them to experience God in a great way!

In 2022, we are rounding a new corner in the legacy of this camp. After evaluating some of the hurdles we were to face in getting us up and running - we have decided to postpone our 2022 Spring / Summer Year opening... so that we can continue to modernize these grounds and bring you the very best this mountain has to offer! This means we will also not be having a 2022 Family Camp this year.

What can you expect from us? Continued social media and blog announcements detailing the exciting projects we're tackling this year... and possibly some surprise events to come!

What are we doing? Last year, we completely replaced and installed a new water system for the camp. Gone are the days of "Cold Showers" and "Low Water Pressure". That's a thing of the past! THIS YEAR, we're putting in new septic and electrical... support for larger RV's and more RV Spaces that are clearly defined!

How can you get involved? We have a ton of minor projects too - and these will be announced through the Season.

Continue to pray with us as we embark on this endeavor. Building a better camp, to stand the test of time, while we wait for the Lord's return. We promise in 2023 you'll see some amazing improvements as we navigate this Season of Change.​

temporary Suspension of Volunteer Requests

8/20/2021

Suspension of Volunteer Requests
Released August 20th 2021

Mineral still remains under evacuation and all volunteers (with the exception of Pastor Loren and Lani) have left the grounds. Phil and Lee are on standby to come up as needed. In their place, the National Guard has sent up a Kitchen Crew to fill the gap.

With that being said, we are suspending the call for volunteers and thank all of you for your willingness to help.

As of right now the camp continues to maintain its function as a heliattack base for CalFire and the National Guard. The DixieFire is still in close proximity to the camp, thus the sustained evacuation order.

Lastly, as of today – to assist with aiding fire operations, the entire Lassen National Forest has closed its camps and recreation facilities to the public to ensure safety.

Please continue to keep all of those involved in your prayers. We will update the public as more information comes in.

Due to the ongoing developments surrounding the #DixieFire - and out of an abundance of caution, Stan Wagner and the Camp Board have felt it will be best to cancel this year's senior camp 2021. We are saddened by this development, but are confident this is the correct course of action.

All camps scheduled after August 21st are still on schedule. We understand this is a fluid situation and will update our social media channels as more information comes in.

If you have any questions regarding your registration fees or would like to hold your spot for next year's Senior Camp 2022 (dates TBA) please contact Judi Woodard by phone at (408) 205-7547, or by email at judisings@hotmail.com.

Please continue to pray for the Camp, the Firefighting personnel, all of those who have lost so much... as well as those who are still in harm's way.
