Laity Lodge Family Ski Camp
Laity Lodge Family Ski Camp at Waunita Hot Springs Ranch was a tremendous success. We had 63 people from 16 families with ages ranging from 3 to 70 years old. Everyone arrived on December 28th ready for some snow fun. Many came by car while some by plane. A few found themselves stuck in the deep snow coming over one of the passes. Luckily the folks at Waunita helped them get out and over to the lodge.
Most of the group spent 3 days skiing or snow boarding at Monarch Mountain while some did some shopping in Salida, Gunnison or Crested Butte. One family even had an adventure snowmobiling. They found out that some snowmobiles don’t do well in deep snow. Each day families would come back to Waunita and relax in their hot springs pool before enjoying an amazing dinner. We would all gather together in the evening upstairs in the barn for singing, skits, and a talk from Niles at Roundup. Each Roundup, we would tell stories from the day. The rest of the evening was spent sitting around playing games, talking and just enjoying each other. The families left on January 1st after a fun celebration of fireworks, cider, and banana splits on New Year’s Eve.
The first annual Laity Lodge Family Ski Camp was a fantastic experience. We learned a lot as well. Yet in the end families were able to reconnect with each other and their Lord in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. Thank you, God, for being with us!
