Thursday May 19th, I again had the privilege to fly Rick and Eliz Greer, the Directors of Pathway Camp Ministries into two First Nation Fly-In communities - Bloodvein River and Berens River.
We flew to Bloodvein and Berens River First Nations (both on the East side of Lake Winnipeg, about one hour north of Winnipeg by small plane) to confirm plans with local leadership and promote the upcoming kid's camps in these Communities.
PCM will held week-long Day Camps in seven Manitoba Communities this year.
From 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily, Monday-Friday in each community. The day is jam-packed with sports, games, crafts, skits, and small group times. We provide the campers with a hot lunch and a snack daily.
We missed seeing the children in Bloodvein as someone attempted to burn down the school last Sunday (only 2 portables were destroyed) and the school is closed while they clean all the surfaces to attempt to remove the smoke damage.
However, we have acquired the Band Hall for our mealtimes and some other activities for the week of camp. This is a huge improvement in facility for cooking and serving and we are thankful for its availability.
On the way back to Ashern we flew over some Interlake communities we serve with camps, gym-nights and clothing sale like Little Saskatchevan and Lake St. Martin.
Both communities are in a desperate state as the floodwaters continue to rise and swallow many of their homes. LSM has completely evacuated their community and a large number have left from Little Sask.
