DUDE! Pine Car Derby

Father-Son Retreat in Review

At the end of September, over 100 dads and their sons enjoyed a beautiful weekend in the mountains, growing closer to each other and closer to God.

The guys heard from speaker Reggie Tamoro, who shared the Word (and also his love of Star Wars) with the message “This Is The Way”. Dads and sons experienced quiet times together away from distractions and screens. They stepped into adventures galore like paintball, ziplining and archery and even a little rain/ hailstorm in between. 😳

The highlight was the annual “DUDE” Pine Car Derby Race where Father and Son teams raced their creations that they worked on all weekend. It was a weekend full of fun!

You can also view (and download) photos on our SmugMug page.

Don’t forget to Save the Date for the Father-Son Retreat in 2026 which will take place September 25-27. We hope to see you there for a weekend your son won’t forget!

Check out the recap video from the weekend:

North Cabin Transformation

Phase 1 Complete!

Major Milestone

I’m thrilled to announce that Phase 1 of the project is officially complete!

We’re grateful and excited to share this progress with you…4 brand-new bathrooms have been added to Cabins #3, #4, #11, and #12.

Plus, we’ve enhanced the grounds with new retaining walls and upgraded the siding on Cabin #4, giving it a refreshed look and greater durability.

None of this would have been possible without the faithful donors that support Angeles Crest. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this project come to life! This is a transformational project that will help with the continued growth of camp for years to come!

Here is a general timeline of the project:
  • December 2024: North Cabin Project Campaign begins – $84,000 goal to remodel Cabin #4
  • January-February 2025: Met with engineers, architects, contractors for planning stages
  • April 2025: Project expands to 4 bathrooms instead of just 1 due to some special donations totaling almost $340,000
  • June 2025: Work begins!
  • July 2025: Project hiatus while camp is in session
  • August 2025: Work recommences
  • October 2025: Phase 1 Complete!

You can see more about how this project came to be here.

This is just Phase 1 of our larger vision for the North Cabin Remodel Project. There are still 5 more cabins that will eventually have bathrooms added. In the meantime, our awesome building team will take a well deserved break as the winter weather descends on the mountain. Stay tuned for Phase 2 in the (hopefully) not too distant future. Thank you once again to everyone who contributed to make this project become a reality!

Our Prayer Request

Please pray God would fill our winter calendar, including Winter Camp for both Preteen and Youth (December-March)

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” – Galatians 6:9-10
