SDB Camp in Boulder spared

by Kevin Butler

I called Pastor Steve Osborn this morning (Wednesday) and he is praising the Lord.

A massive wildfire outside of Boulder, Colo., has consumed thousands of acres and scores of buildings, but most of the flames have apparently gone around the Boulder Heights area, home of Camp Paul Hummel.

Charring of trees occurred on the west side of the property where the archery range is. One of the radio towers (a source of income for the camp) was destroyed, but according to a local firefighter whose home is near the camp it looks like all of the camp structures were spared.

Pastor Steve noted that in recent years a fire prevention expert has helped to clear the property of hazardous brush. In addition “God’s mercy sure didn’t hurt” the current situation.

Please keep that area in your prayers. Many have lost their homes or cabins, and harmful smoke and ash is blanketing the city.
