Hello to all of our wonderful supporters!
I wanted to send a email updating everyone on the status of Dream Mountain for summer. As many of you know, since March we have been closed with the hope of opening back up for the summer season. Sadly we just received an email with the Stage 3 re-opening plan and the state decided not to permit overnight camps from re-opening. We are disappointed, mostly because we do not get to see our wonderful campers until next season.
So where does that leave us for a re-opening date? To be honest, I don't really know. Public Health could not give us a time frame. We went ahead and canceled groups through July, but even still we are not sure when we will be allowed to open. As you know, implementing social distancing guidelines while at camp would be very challenging and we may decide to wait until Stage 4 when all restrictions have been lifted before we re-open. In the meantime, we will be watching and waiting eagerly for the county to give us the green light.
You may be asking, "What does that mean for camps for later in the year?" Again, I don't have a definite answer. If you have a booking we are going to be as flexible as we can be to work with each customer and their comfort level. If you are having concerns, feel free to email me or call and we can come up with a good plan together.
As a whole, we are feeling mentally strong and have peace over the hard decisions we have had to make. I can always see how God's hand has been (and will be) with us throughout this whole process. We know many other businesses and camps are going through the same hardships but we know that God is the ultimate provider and can bring good out of any situation. So with that said, we are excited to have our first summer off in 11 years :-) This will be the summer we say YES to more family adventures. As an eternal optimist, I am going to embrace this season with gratefulness and watch expectantly to see how God will provide. We hope to have an amazing testimony of God's goodness in the end!
If you have any questions please let me know. I will update everyone as soon as I have any new information. We love you all and thank you for your prayers and support during this time!
