I love this time of year! Yes, I love Fall and the changing of
  seasons. But for me, Fall is about connecting with our returning
  renters at Riverview Bible Camp.Summer may have just ended, but my
  job is always 6-9 months ahead on the calendar. I am looking at
  Summer 2012 so we can lock in returning groups and then fill the
  empty dates. This is what Tim Mason (our Executive Director) and I
  do. It is our job but it is also a great blessing!

   In the last month I have sent out 30 contracts.My favorite thing
  about this process is re-connecting with returning groups. When a
  group comes back year after year to Riverview it really becomes a
  partnership. We are partnering to put on the BEST possible retreats
  for our groups! I love to hear the stories about the previous year
  and the plans for the coming year! It is a great partnership where
  lives are impacted -- hopefully eternally impacted! What could be
  better than that?


  If you are a returning group, thank you for your loyalty and
  partnership!!!

What a great weekend, and week as well! Riverview had two groups enjoy the warm fall weather last weekend. A men's group doing "manly" things like trap shooting, tomahawk throwing, 3D archery, and some target practice with paintball. A new group to Riverview was the 4H club that was on campus that weekend as well. With the great food, nice weather, and all the attractions at Riverview both groups left feeling refreshed and inspired. Riverview was also a host to South side Christian school during the midweek. Watching those kids go up and slide down our four story high gunny sack slide was a true joy. We love South side and are so glad to be able to be a camp they can count on.

"WOW, what a weekend!" Moody Bible Institute spent 3 days at camp wrapping up our summer season. From a great speaker, to accessing all the incredible activities Riverview has to offer! Watching college students worship Jesus, get blobbed, enjoy a dip in the pool or just some good old volleyball, Moody had a great time at Riverview. As we move into the fall we look forward to the beautiful colors on campus and the many campers coming to enjoy them.

A note from the Director

Summer is still happening at Riverview! This past weekend we had a family camp from the Wenatchee area as well as a reunion of a sorority that enjoyed God's creation up at camp. This week a private Christian school is kicking their school year off in style (and on the blob) followed by another private Christian school and then a large group called “Shield of Faith”. This group brings campers all the way from California and Colorado to enjoy the sun and fun of Riverview.

It should be any day for the state to give camp the green light to install the tunnel and really transform our campus, we all cannot wait!!!!

Director, Riverview Bible Camp

Did you know...

that Riverview is available for more than just church groups? Pastor Antisdale, one of the founders of Riverview, stated in a Spokesman Daily Chronicle article in 1960 that "Use of the grounds won't be restricted to our church alone, but will be open to all in the greater Spokane area who desire to make use of such an enriching experience".  We try to live up to that vision by hosting groups from WSU, Eastern Washington University, local elementary schools, Fairchild AFB, Department of Fish and Wildlife, and other non-religious institutions for getaways, team-building exercises, and conferences.

As a camp/retreat center, Riverview has an amazing amount of activities for your group. Learn to work together as a team on our Low Ropes course, stress individual growth on the High Ropes and Vertical Playground, or go head to head on our 20-person paintball course. We have various meeting rooms ranging from cozy (20 people) to huge (300), high speed WiFi to stay connected, and available A/V systems for your Powerpoint presentations and speakers. We'll even cook for you, with a kitchen service that has been rated best in the Northwest!

If you would like more information on renting our facility for your business, fraternity or sorority, or club visit our website at RiverviewBibleCamp.com, or call director Tim Mason at 509-220-9599.
