Arlington Beach is located on the shores of Last Mountain Lake in Cymric, Saskatchewan. They are affiliated with the Free Methodist Church in Canada. It has been running since 1960. The Arlington Beach House, which seems to be their logo, was originally built in 1910 as a hotel on the lake and has been an attraction to the lake ever since.
Statement of Faith:
I could not find a statement of faith on the Arlington Beach website, but I'm assuming that since they are a part of CCI, they had to agree with CCI's statement of faith, so here it is.
We believe in:
The Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;
The triune God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
The deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His substitutionary atonement for sin, His bodily resurrection and His personal, visible return to earth to reign in righteousness and glory;
The person of the Holy Spirit and His work of conviction, regeneration and sanctification, who indwells every believer equipping them with gifts for service and witness;
The necessity of new birth, in salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone, and the importance of a life fully committed to the will of God in Christ;
The church as the one, universal body of Christ who is the Head, called to be God's redeemed people.
Mission Statement:
I also could not find a clear cut mission statement for Arlington Beach, but i did find something similar to a mission statement. It was in the "school" section of their website, so this particular statement might only be for the outdoor classroom part of their program.
Our goal here at Arlington Beach is to turn the natural setting that surrounds us into a classroom like no other – a classroom without limits – and an exciting adventure in learning.
This program exists to provide honor to our creator through environments and experiences where children of all ages can gain increased awareness of the restoration, protection and respect of the earth.
Activities:
Arlington Beach offers a wide variety of activities on their lake like swimming or canoeing and their wilderness area such as hiking. They have a lot of sports related activities like beach volleyball or whatever you can come up with on their sports field. They also have some special activities like the climbing wall, zip line, and the mud bog. Arlingon Beach also has some winter activities such as ice fishing, ice skating, and, my personal favorite, quinzee building. Quinzees are shleters made from hollowing out a mound of snow, kind of like and igloo except that a quinzee is one whole piece of snow, not blocks of snow.
I think that Hidden Acres may want to look into getting a trampoline of some sort because it seems like those are fairly popular with other camps. If Hidden Acres doesn't want to look at a trampoline then maybe we would look at a quinzee building contest, but that could just be a canadian thing.......:)
