On February 24-26, 117 boys and leaders from across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont were at Camp Fairhaven in Brooks, Maine, for the event of the season, and one of the biggest events of the year: Maine Yukon Day. This year’s theme was “Light the Night”, and the Scripture Verse was 2 Corinthians 4:9: “For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”

This year’s Camp Staff included Commander Ken Beaufort returning as Trail Boss, Pastor Tim Haynes as Camp Chaplain and worship leader, Commander Russ Kahl as Medical Officer, Commander Rob Cunningham as Registrar, and the kitchen team of Sue Haynes, Grace Beaufort, Linda Blomerth and Sue Blodgett doing a fantastic job of serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and making sure that no boy or adult went hungry or thirsty!
This year’s MYD Guest Speaker was Pastor Tim Groves of Time 2 Move Ministries. He had been involved in Rangers as a boy, and is also a graduate of Faith School of Theology, located in Charleston, Maine, just northwest of Bangor. Pastor Tim has a heart for boys and God used him mightily to touch the lives of boys and men during the weekend.
