It’s that time again: time for s’mores (and cocoa), time for trails (and snow), and time for fun with friends (wearing scarves)! This year’s Winter Horse Camp brings to you an exclusive Mary Kay party and staff from the past (Give me a break / give me a break / break me off a piece of that . . . )!
Hope to see you there!
It’s our first snow of the season!
“I’ve never seen snow before!” exclaimed this young lady from the Christian Arabic Church.

“And then you add a pinch of oregano, like-a-dis . . .”
Kitchen & Dining Hall staff, Saturday afternoon shift.
Melanie Campbell has worked 2 summers with us here at Palomar as well as weekends between. This local college girl, with arguably the best smile on campus, is transferring to Azusa Pacific this semester. Congratulations, Melanie! We’re going to miss you!!
As a member of our Accommodations Staff, Melanie often staffs either the Rifle Range or the Archery Range as Range Master.
It’s all about technique.

A temporary cease-fire (time to reload!).
That’s a lot of holes in that target! Well done, gentlemen.
Palomar has long been blessed by the volunteer labor of SOWERS (Servants On Wheels Ever Ready), retired individuals and couples who travel from Christian camp to Christian camp in their RV’s to give of their time and talent. Bonnie & Lloyd have been up to Palomar a number of times before; we go way back . . . .
Lloyd’s an old pro at this.
“Yet when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, then came darkness” (Job 30:26, NIV).
“You are my lamp, O LORD; the LORD turns my darkness into light” (2 Sam. 22:29, NIV).
“For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God . . .” (2 Cor. 4:6, NIV).
“The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light” (Rom. 13:12, NIV).
3 Intervarsity students stroll through camp.
The men from Foothills Church come up every year, and this year the total count reached 50–a new record!
An Intervarsity softball game: one more chance to win points in the war of the classes!
Everyone say cheese! (We offer American, Swiss, Pepper Jack . . . .)
Intervarsity is finishing up their leadership retreat today, a time of relaxation and refreshment in the quiet beauty of God’s creation. When’s the last time you set aside time to be still and know He is God?
We’ve been enjoying some unseasonably warm weather here at Palomar. The leaves are turning and there are splashes of color about the mountain.
Stephen, a student from Good Shepherd Catholic Church, counts the deer on the ball field Sunday morning. You’d never know there are 200 people in camp at the same time!
