Dear Colleagues,

It is with a mixture of sadness and celebration of outstanding service to the conference that I want to announce to you two transitions that are happening with our Cal-Pac Camp staff:

1 – Gary Clover, Director at Camp Wrightwood since 1990, will be retiring as of August 31st , as he moves to Texas to begin the next chapter of his life to be closer to family.  There will be a celebration of Gary’s ministry at Wrightwood on Sunday, August 11th from 3-6 p.m. – all are welcome.

2 – Billy Stempson, Director at Lazy W since 2006, is resigning that position as of August 15th. Billy has served with Cal-Pac Camps for 11 years, first as Assistant Camp Manager at Colby in 2002 and then as Assistant Camp Manager and Director at Lazy W, starting in 2005.

I know you will want to share your words of appreciation to these outstanding leaders among us.  Gary can be reached at g8751@msn.com and Billy at bstempson@calpaccamps.org

Grace and Peace,
Rev. David L. Berkey, Director
Camping Ministry and Operations
