The Christikon Spring Housing Boost has already been an incredible success! THANK YOU! Much of what was raised has already been put to work and installed at camp. We bring this campaign to an end on the Summer Solstice in twenty days. There is still time to chip in! Barring some incredible last-minute giving, we may not check all the boxes on the list. Yet we are still so very excited for what has already been accomplished, and will continue to put dollars to good use in ways that improve the experience for campers, hikers, and guests!

Staff training begins in full today! We welcomed our seasonal staff up the Boulder last evening for a first meal of Tuna Noodle and Biscuits. They are truly an inspiring, diverse and talented team. Please consider including them in prayer as they prepare to welcome and lead our campers, hikers and guests this season. We begin training under cover of clouds and constant rain and mist—trickier for outdoor training, yet very welcome after a dry winter. Everything is turning green and the streams are boisterous!

What an amazing weekend! We accomplished SO. MANY. PROJECTS. HUGE shout out to everyone who chipped in—and that includes everyone who joined us this weekend, everyone who contributed from afar, and everyone who reached out to wish us good luck and included this work in prayer. It was amazing!

Christikon, in partnership with Hope Lutheran Center for the Arts, is excited and proud to host our second annual Artist-in-Residence: John Hermanson! John will inspire our community each week with lyrics, music, and teaching. He is also guiding several unique experiences, for which registration is now open:

Contemplative Artist Retreats
Music + Backpacking Trip
Songs of Christikon Singing Weekend

Alongside the warmth and grounding presence John brings to camp, we will often be joined by Dr. Maren Haynes Marchesini, whose participatory music-making helps create connection and community. For more information, (and to register to join us at camp!) visit christikon.org

Good Morning and Happy Friday! Reporting from camp, where things are greening up! It rained most of the afternoon and evening yesterday, but cleared for a while and these 14 deer came out to enjoy the meadow.

There are several more *unique* programs happening this season, and we'd love to extend an invitation for you and your family and friends to join us! Just to note some of the events and sessions that are more singular or once-per-season:

Contemplative Artist Retreat July 5-8
Continuing Education Retreat July 28-31
Mountain Weekend July 31- August 2
75th Anniversary August 2-5
Backpacking & Music Adventure August 12-18
Fall Artist Retreat September 18-24

TENT TWO IS ORDERED! We are so excited to house trails groups and on-site families and volunteers this summer in the new Glamping Tents! Hopefully your group will get to stay in one?! A site has been scouted (downhill from the Trails Building) and tent two is coming soon! We'll be setting them up during Work Weekend, growing the ways in which we can provide places to stay for campers. HUGE THANKS to everyone who has given to this Spring Housing Boost! We have six more weeks to see what we can accomplish together...
