On Sunday, May 4, 2025, Gladstone Park Conference Center was blessed by an inspiring display of community spirit and teamwork. More than 100 Pathfinders, staff and parents from 10 different clubs –– some from as far as four hours away –– came together to prepare the site for this year's camp meeting!
Pathfinders certainly were “going on God’s errands” as they worked tirelessly to ensure the campgrounds were ready for camp meeting. They weeded flowerbeds, trimmed trees and blackberry bushes, planted new trees, cleaned bathrooms, scrubbed all the outside tables and chairs, cleaned the Snack Shack and blew off the Holden Center parking lot.
“They were outstanding!” enthused Athena Gray, Oregon Conference events coordinator. "The Pathfinders' efforts brought beauty back to the campgrounds!" Dedication and commitment to service were on display all day. They not only helped prepare the campgrounds physically, but also helped foster a sense of unity and collaboration. Their contribution is a testament to the power of collective effort and the importance of community involvement in making events successful. Thank you, Pathfinders!
