CRC has been a successful ministry over the last 40 years because of all the people who serve and volunteer their time to make this camp a little better every day. There are dozens of individuals, couples, and families that could be thanked in this letter. Allow me the opportunity to publicly praise and thank the following people for their commitment to CRC. The following people might not mean as much to you, the reader, but to CRC, these people hold a special spot in the history of CRC.
Let me start by thanking two former board members, Stan Burkholder and Myron Wenger. Both of these men served faithfully as board members for approximately a decade. They helped guide the camp through various transitions, helped volunteer in the kitchen, and were quick to help with other projects around the camp! CRC is better because Stan and Myron served so well!
Next, I want to thank Greg Gilson. Greg is “retiring” from TIMS after 20 plus of years of involvement. Greg has been one of the backbones to the TIMS program at CRC. He is the gentleman that was out in the community talking with homeowners, organizing sites, and putting together material lists. Churches who participated in TIMS probably had little interaction with Greg, but this man helped TIMS be a blessing to Juniata County. CRC is better because Greg represented CRC so well in the community!
Lastly, let me thank Ray and Maryann Brubaker and Harry and Carol Smith! These two couple give up so much time in order to come volunteer at CRC. They spend several weekends at camp helping to cook for our guest groups. Maryann and Carol have faithfully served during summer camp for several summers while Harry and Ray are quick to take care of small maintenance projects around camp or hop on a mower and help cut grass. CRC is better because the Smith’s and Brubaker’s serve and bless both the guests and staff so well! CRC is blessed and grateful for these people who have joyfully and generously given so much to this camp!
There are always opportunities to serve and to be involved at camp. The staff who comes to CRC on a daily basis love what we do but we also love when we can share our experiences with other people. We want to invite you to join and participate in the good things that are taking place in East Waterford! Come as an individual, as a family, as a youth group, or as a Sunday school class. Nothing is more fun than serving with people you love and helping to advance CRC to be a better camp because of your involvement.
In Christ,
Zach Bashore

Camp Sponsorships: To date, approximately $8,000 has been given towards camp sponsorship! CRC’s goal is to raise $20,000 to generously give away in order to help offset the cost of camp for families who otherwise couldn't afford the price. There is a still a need to help meet the requests CRC receives for families looking for financial assistance. Participate in our camp ministry by making summer camp possible for children and families! Gifts between $200 and $300 are recommended. All amounts, big and small, are joyfully received!
