​Mount Lassen Camp WINTER Update 2023

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.
