The end of October is wrap up time at Sonlight. Getting everything ready for winter- chains on the vehicles, and buildings winterized. We'll crank back up mid-December for our winter season of ski groups. Check out the Fall Retreat photos.

We're reading some great stuff right now:

• A Million Miles In A Thousand Years - Donald Miller
• Run With The Horses - Eugene Peterson

Winston, Dani and Mary had a few minutes of time to kill before the burger cookout on Saturday - might as well do some jumping! An incredible fall day at camp.

Our speaker for the Fall Retreat is Ron Besser. Ron has extensive camp experience, and is currently working on his MDiv at Denver Seminary. We look forward to having him at Sonlight.

Lots 'o snow on the peaks above camp. Here comes ski season.

Fall retreats * golden color * s'mores *. Gals from the United Church of Los Alamos at camp this weekend, always delightful to have longtime friends at Sonlight. Thanks Dani and Alex for all your hard work. Only 10 days 'till the Fall Retreat!

Happy Anniversary Brett and Katelyn, congratulations on 3 years together.

Beautiful fall day at camp. A bit rainy and damp out. Fall colors are beautiful. 16 days 'till the Fall Retreat

Lots of baked goods over the weekend- just another day at Sonlight! A dusting of snow on the peaks this morning, time to get the skiis out. Brett is busy with all sorts of things- watch for updated summer staff '10 info to be up by the end of the week.

Fall in the air- and the Pagosa Christian Womens retreat at Sonlight this weekend. I think this is the 25th? 26th year they've come to Sonlight in the fall.

A new look to the website- that's What's New!

2010 camp dates are posted- we've made some great changes. We've added a 3rd week of High School camp, so there should be plenty of room for everybody- and you can bring a friend. Also new is a 'combo' price -- if you register for any two camps, you'll get a $50 discount on the 2nd camp. Camp tuitions are the same as last year.

Congratulations to Keith and Stephanie, married last Saturday way up on Hoosier Pass. It was a beautiful setting. The unity candle stand was made by Charlie, and it looks pretty cool with Mt. Bross in the background.
