Join us as we gather to explore the wonder of

God’s creation — right in our own back yard. Besides the usual camp activities (canoeing/kayaking/
horse back riding/vespers/camp fire), we will reflect on the glory of the created world. The camp
includes an entire day exploring Glacier National Park.

Our leader will be:

Alyssa Cornell-Chavez. Alyssa will be our group leader, helping us understand and deepen our
knowledge of creation and its beauty. Alyssa writes of herself: I grew up in Livingston, MT where I
developed a passion for the outdoors and its history. After high school, I moved to Tempe, AZ where I earned my
History BA and History MA with and emphasis in public history from Arizona State University. During my
graduate program I started an internship with the Montana Natural History Center as an education intern. I
started working for MNHC after my graduation and have been working with them as Teaching Naturalist for
almost two years. I also earned my Montana Master Naturalist certification in 2018 while working for the center.
I love working outdoors and getting to teach and guide learners of all ages. Having the opportunity to connect
people to nature is so rewarding and I honestly always learn something new every time I go on a trip. The joy on
people’s faces when a bird they have never seen flies by, or when  they have a chance to identify a particularly
interesting track always puts a smile on my face.

Camp Director Rev. Tim Lanham will lead adult discussion — coordinating our exploration of
creation with the witness of Scripture and its theology which affirms that the heavens declare the
glory of God. Associate Director LJ Atkins and the Glacier Camp Staff will lead youth activities
 — ensuring that kids of all ages have a fun and
