*In 2022, the camp suffered damages from the Hermit's Peak Calf Canyon Wildfire. Due to the loss of a Forest Service bridge that provides road access into the camp, our ministry is currently experiencing about 1/3 of previous operations being limited to periods of low water flows which occur seasonally. We currently expect the bridge to be rebuilt in mid-late 2025. The camp normally provides housing on site, but will assist with housing off site until the bridge is rebuilt. This position will lead the rebuilding initiative including supporting contractors building multiple structures over the next few years.
