Anniversary Articles

There is a battle raging for a generation of young men and women, and the winner of that battle owns the future of this nation. This generation needs someone who will respond to the cries of the spiritually dying and who will leave their safe place and go where lost young people are. Luke 19:10 says, "The Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost." It's time for you to help seek and save lost young people and win the battle for this generation!

Also in 1978, Sam and Marlene Grandberg purchased land to be used as a camp for the spiritual growth and pleasure of Christians in the Pudget Sound area. They donated the property to the South Pudget Sound Churches of Christ in 1978. This year will be the 30th Anniversary of the Delano Bay Christian Camp. To mark this occasion, a major event is planned for the 4th of July 2009 at the camp to celebrate, rejoice and give thanks. This is a historical milestone. We hope to see hundreds of former campers from all over the country and visitors from all local congregations that will join the event and enjoy the day! Plan to be there! We urgently invite you send us stories, tell us about any relic, old photo’s, articles, old film or old video footage you might have. Let your friends, parents and anyone that you know has been involved with Delano Bay know about this important and historical event. A blog will be created where you can tell us about your camp experiences and related stories where you can also post some photo’s. The blog address will be announced soon! Watch this space. More to come! If you need any additional information or if you would like to share more, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
