Camp Marist, Effingham, New Hampshire

On August 16th through the 19th,  the NNED Royal Rangers held their annual Pow Wow at Camp Marist, on the beautiful shores of Lake Ossipee in Effingham, New Hampshire.  Nearly 200 men and boys from all across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont gathered for this exciting weekend of fun, camping, competition, fellowship, and most importantly, to draw nearer to Christ.  The theme of this year’s Pow Wow was “The X-Challenge”, which was short for “Extreme Challenge”.

    This year’s Pow Wow was a back-to-basics approach, with a greater emphasis on basic camping skills and  Outposts spending quality time together.  It was also the second year in a row that Pow Wow was held at Camp Marist, as it has become an ideal location for Rangers.  Earlier this year, Land Rush was held in order for Outposts to claim and prepare their campsites for Pow Wow, which gave them a head start when they arrived at their campsites on Thursday and Friday to register and set up.  As District Commander Jerry Love observed, “Coming on Thursday for many of the Outposts made for a less hectic set up, and a better preparation for evening guest meals and the subsequent events that followed on Saturday.”

            On Saturday, May 12, NNED Royal Rangers held Land Rush 2007 at Camp Marist on Lake Ossipee, New Hampshire, the site of Pow Wow 2007.  74 men and boys from 11 Outposts throughout the District came together that day for a time of hard work, fellowship, and fun!  This year’s Pow Wow theme is “X-Challenge.”  It is a back-to-basics Pow Wow that will focus on the basics of camping and the basics of the Christian life.  In order to be ready for this year’s event, the District held Land Rush to clear the land allotted for Pow Wow, so that Outposts can come to a campsite that they have already prepared for themselves to settle right in!  As Deputy District Commander Kendall Sperrey, the Camp Coordinator for Pow Wow , explained, “It was an idea to add some fun and excitement to the process of campsite development.  As we develop this site the Lord has blessed us with we need to have fun with it.” 

Time for the Event of the year! Check out the forums for more information
