Memorial Day Work & Play Retreat
Join us May 27-30 for Memorial Day Work & Play Retreat at Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp! The weekend begins at 7 PM on Friday and ends after breakfast on Monday. On Saturday, individuals and families will help with the final details for the Pleiades building and other various projects needing completed before the summer season.  The “play” part on Sunday will include a morning worship service, brunch, the Pleiades building dedication and opportunities to go hiking, kayaking on the pond, exploring the nature trail, or taking a nap! Please register online (www.rmmc.org), call (719-687-9506) or email (info@rmmc.org) to let us know you can come!

Pleiades Dedication
RMMC staff and board members invite you to attend the Pleiades building dedication to commemorate the completion of the new building. The process of building this much needed facility is coming to a close with the projected occupancy in early June. The celebration will take place on Sunday, May 29. A worship service will begin at 9:30, followed by brunch at 10:30. The ceremony and ribbon cutting will happen at 12:00 followed by a tour of the building. Come for the day or just part of the celebration. Please RSVP by Wednesday, May 25 by email (info@rmmc.org) or a call to camp (719-687-9506).

Snow, Snow, and More Snow
Beginning, April 15, through Monday, April 18, a total of 38 inches of snow fell at RMMC. With the Spring Mennonite Quilters retreat at camp that weekend, there was plenty to shovel and plow to make it possible for the quilters to get to and from the Dining Hall where their quilting stations were. Many of the quilters didn’t mind being snow in – it gave them an excuse to quilt longer! The photo shown was taken Sunday morning as we worked to uncover the cars in the parking lot. “Everyone was cheerful and helpful AND we could enjoy the snow even though we know it was a BIG job for the guys and gals that shoveled snow. WHAT PAMPERING!!” – a quilter’s response on the evaluation

You’ve Been Spotted!

We spotted Dave Miller (Greeley, CO) wearing his RMMC t-shirt. Dave, pictured here with his wife Linda, took this photo in Manarola, Italy while on vacation there this past year. Dave currently serves on the RMMC board and has been a faithful volunteer at camp (when he’s not on vacation!) We also spotted Steve Buller (Blair, NE) wearing his RMMC hat. Steve was in Ireland and posed to take this photo near the St Kevins Monastery in Glendalough. Steve and his family have attended RMMC’s Family Camp for many years.  Thanks, Dave and Steve, for sharing RMMC with Europe!
