The Winter Blizzard

In February, we had the largest winter blizzard in 25 years up at camp. Our staff was snowed in, and we had ten feet of snow! Due to the amount of snow, Cal Trans closed the road, and we were closed for ministry for four months! This could have been devastating, however, thanks to so many supporters who donated to the camp, we were able to make it through to summer. PTL!

The Road Closure

The effect of the blizzard was not only felt in camp, but it also washed away part of the upper main highway to camp. Cal Trans started repairs in the spring, but the road was not fixed when summer camps started.

However, our staff was determined to have summer camp for our kids! To pull this off, we had to escort EVERY vehicle, every day for 10 weeks!! That was every car, van or bus, as well as propane trucks, food trucks, etc. But our staff was committed and we made it happen without missing a beat.

Our summer camps were amazing!

Dining Hall Bathrooms

Our mission is to provide great mountain-top experiences with an eternal impact.

We knew that providing a great experience includes having adequate bathroom facilities. For two years, we’ve raised money for our “We’re On a Roll” Dining Hall Bathroom Project.

This summer, we began installing the new bathrooms. We had to do all the work of building the bathrooms without interrupting our summer camps. The good news is that the project is completed, and we have brand new bathrooms at the dining hall!!

75th Anniversary Gala

In October, we celebrated 75 years of ministry in style at the Ronald Reagan Library.

It was an amazing event with Kirk Cameron speaking, a camp history display, silent and live auctions, a beautiful dinner with 345 guests – all while under the shadow of Air Force One!

Not only did we celebrate the past 75 years, but we also shared the vision of the future of Angeles Crest by raising $460,000 toward building a new meeting room/dining hall.

Check out the amazing time here!

As I look back on this year, it’s been both chaotic and full of great victories – and my main thought is “THANK YOU!”. Thank you for being such faithful and generous partners who believe so strongly in the ministry of Angeles Crest. We couldn’t have made it through the year without you.

Even though this year is coming to a close, we’re planning for the new year and the upcoming winter camps! We can’t wait to share the good news of Jesus Christ with all the children and teens.

I pray that you and your family will be filled with the awe and wonder of the Christmas season and that your hearts will be filled with joy now, and over the New Year holiday.

Merry Christmas,

Dave Crouse
Executive Director
