Director Brian Bowes has been putting a lot of energy into seeking out the best candidates for our Ortoha staff positions this year, and we are excited to share his progress!
We are very pleased to introduce a new head cook, Amy Schretlen, who is putting the final touches on the menu this month. (We'll be sure to post a bio as we getting closer to camp.)
We're also delighted to share that many of our counselors from last year are returning, and a few others have been added, as well.
As for our speakers, we have a few confirmed already and are looking to fill out the rest of the posts. Pastor Harald Schoubye will serve as both a Middle School Week speaker and our Mission Fest speaker. Kim & Jim Helleson and Rick Herzer will return to serve as our High School Week speakers this year. If you know of anyone who might be willing to serve as a speaker, please contact Brian right away - we would love your recommendation.
Spring also marks the time of year when Brian ramps up the local outreach for registrations. You might hear him on Open Line up in the Okanogan area, or see a few newspaper articles over the next few weeks. Please do all that you can to help us spread the word about registration - we love to serve and host as many campers as we can!
Summer is right around the corner! We are looking forward to another incredible year up at Ortoha!
Speaker Jim Helleson will be return for another year of fun in 2017!
