Roc and Bev have been married since 1974. They have  our grown children and thirteen grandchildren. \nTopic:\n“Building a Thriving Marriage”\nAs all know well\, the pressures on military medical marriages can be enormous. The combination of long hours\, heavy workloads\, difficult work situations\, promotion requirements and repeated deployments can take a heavy toll on the best of marriages. This year the theme will be “Building a Thriving Marriage” and the sessions will provide an opportunity to heal your bruises\, refocus your direction\, and rekindle your passion. Whatever the state of your marriage – from “Really Good” to “Struggling Mightily” – come join us\, and give your marriage the opportunity to really thrive. \nGuest Ambassadors:\nDr (COL) Arnie Ahnfeldt\, USA (Ret.) and Dr (COL) Jeff Ginther\, USA (Ret.)\nNote:\nWe are prioritizing medical personnel (doctors\, nurses\, pharmacists\, etc.) for Medical Week reservations until May 15.

SUMMARY:Summer Celebration #7
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nKeith Peck\nKeith has served in pastoral ministry for the past 45 years. For 30 years\, he and Gale ministered in Annapolis\, where their church supported the Nav\, Cru & OCF ministries at USNA. Keith and Gale now serve OCF in the role of Pastoral Care. They are blessed with 5 children and 17 grandchildren (who live in 5 different time zones). \n\nTopic:\n“Ecclesiastes: When All You Ever Wanted Isn’t Enough”\nEcclesiastes begins with “the words of the Preacher”. Yet as you read\, it is unlike any sermon you’ve heard. The sermon’s theme is “meaningless\, meaningless”. This seems so strange. And yet its strangeness provides an honest portrayal of the common human experience of people everywhere as we grapple with the perplexities of making life work “under the sun”. Solomon’s strange sermon invites us to engage this perplexing life more fully “under the SON”. \nGuest Ambassador:\nTBD\nMake a Reservation

SUMMARY:Summer Celebration #5
DESCRIPTION:Speaker(s):\nDr. Del Tackett\, Lt Col\, USAF (Ret.)\nDr. Tackett served over twenty years on active duty in the United States Air Force\, including four years on the faculty of Air University and as Deputy Commander of the 47th Communications Group supporting the multinational NORAD command. He also served on the White House staff during the George H. W. Bush Administration\, and as Director of Technical Planning for the National Security Council. He served as Senior Vice President of Focus on the Family and President of Focus on the Family Institute in Colorado Springs\, CO. He Dr. Tackett developed and is the speaker of the Truth Project. He lectures extensively on developing a Christian world view and America’s Christian heritage for Summit Ministries and at conferences and churches around the country. \nWhile Del was working in national security at the White House under US President George H. W. Bush\, the Lord began breaking his heart for the state of the nation and the church. He was burdened that so many believers had lost their biblical worldview—they weren’t looking at the world around them through the lens of Scripture. \nAfter leaving the White House\, Del helped start a seminary where the founders hoped to begin addressing these shortcomings. To systematically teach a biblical worldview\, Del compiled a comprehensive curriculum that became the basis for the Truth Project\, a DVD curriculum distributed by Focus on the Family. \nTopic:\nThe Engagement Project\nIn the Engagement Project\, Dr. Tackett answers two important questions\, Why did Jesus leave? and Why does God send? The answers to these questions may turn your world right-side up. In this new series\, Dr. Del Tackett takes us on a series of worldview tours that reveal God’s endgame for all of us… what He is after. You’ll discover God’s world-changing mission for yourself and for your family and that Jesus has told us exactly what He wants us to do. In the Engagement Project\, you’ll learn why & how this will change everything. \nFind out more about the Engagement Project here. \nGuest Ambassador:\nMaj Ryan and Sarah Cross\, USAF (Ret.)\nMake a Reservation

DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nLt Col Kevin Boden\, ANG\n Kevin and his wife\, Wendi\, have 8 children and became homeschooling parents in 2008.  Kevin is a graduate of Wheaton College (IL) and received his J.D. from Seattle University.  Kevin served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force for 10 years a Judge Advocate\, allowing he and Wendi to homeschool in three different countries and five states.  Kevin has served three years in the Alaska Air National Guard he continues his service as a Lt Col as a drill-status Guardsman.  Also\, as HSLDA staff attorney and Director of Global Outreach\, Kevin serves as the primary contact for members in 12 states and directs HSLDA’s international program\, working to expand homeschooling freedom around the world.  He is passionate about the freedom to homeschool\, the blessings of being a husband and dad\, and most things outdoors. \nTopic:\n“Gospel Seasons: Building Blocks for Home Schoolers”\nStacking blocks is often the first skill a baby learns. Why? It’s an important skill because it requires coordination. Similarly\, balancing the building blocks of homeschooling families also entails a synchronicity that often seems out of reach. This week will provide practical\, whole-family approaches to schooling at home from a Christ-centered worldview. Come and be encouraged as we consider the building blocks unique to home schooling families. \nGuest Ambassador:\nLt Col Aaron and Sarah Lynch\, USAF\nMake a Reservation

SUMMARY:Summer Celebration #1: Work Week
DESCRIPTION:As you consider whether our Summer Celebration Work Week is a good fit for you or your family\, please review the details below. You’re welcome to contact our Guest Services team with any additional questions: (719) 395-2328 or reservations@springcanyon.org. \nWork week volunteers must be 14 years or older\, and should be physically able to work at least 8 hours each day\, completing manual labor tasks such as fire mitigation and wood splitting\, exterior building staining and repairs\, climbing ladders for roof repair\, etc. We will schedule a half-day off for all volunteers\, with optional activities like whitewater rafting (additional cost)\, indoor climbing wall\, etc. Volunteers\, guests\, and staff will gather each evening for engaging teaching sessions with our guest speaker. \nWe will offer a limited children’s program for ages 0-13. Two of the evening teaching sessions will include separate children’s program sessions; the other sessions will not include a children’s program. We will also offer optional babysitting (additional cost) on two separate mornings. \nCost:\nFor volunteers (ages 14 and up) who work the full week\, there is no cost! Volunteers still get the scheduled half-day off. \nFor all other guests who are not working the full week\, we offer a 20% discount from our standard Summer Celebration rates:\nAdults (14+) $608\, Youth (6-13) $365\, Children (3-5) $183\, Infants (0-2) $0. No other discounts are compatible with these rates. \nIf you plan to attend Work Week\, please register online\, then email reservations@springcanyon.org and let us know whether members of your family or group will attend as volunteers workers or guests. This will help us accurately plan and organize our work projects. \nThanks for considering giving your time and energy to help us tackle some larger projects at Spring Canyon\, your home away from home! \n \nSpeaker:\nNoble Gibbens\nNoble is the person you’d least expect to be talking about feelings & emotions! An uncharacteristic fight with his wife a few years ago revealed a glaring issue: he was clueless when it came to handling his emotions. \nThis West Point grad & former Army Ranger in the 82nd Airborne Division is now an EQ Practitioner and teaches Emotional Intelligence on his highly rated podcast\, EQ Gangster\, in his EQ Mafia Membership and through corporate coaching & consulting. \nDon’t let the big beard & tattoos fool you – Noble is pure positive energy & passion! He brings 23 years’ experience as an entrepreneur and international keynote speaker to help corporate clients\, entrepreneurs\, leaders & influencers get their emotions working for them\, not against them. \nHe has been married to Kathy for 27 years and they have a 15 y/o junior in high school. \nTopic:\nEmotionally Healthy Spiritual Leadership\nHow long have you been going to church? How many pastors or church leaders have you heard talk about emotions or emotional intelligence (“EQ”)? Probably not very many. \nOur EQ directly affects & impacts both our relationship with the Lord and how we lead & influence others. Let’s commit our emotions to the Lord so we can truly lead the way the Lord wants us to. \nMake a Reservation

SUMMARY:Connections and Conversations Retreat #2
DESCRIPTION:The Connections and Conversations Retreat is for homeschooled students in grades 9-12 (ages 14-18). This retreat is designed to connect high school students to a larger community while engaging them in the art of discussion and building fun\, new relationships. There will be opportunities for fellowship\, discussion\, games\, rock climbing\, hiking\, possibly tubing if there is enough snow and more. This retreat is geared toward those enrolled in the Classical Conversations Challenge I-IV programs\, but all homeschooled students are welcome.\n\nAndy Truitt\, former Classical Conversations National Director\, will be leading the sessions and the parent chaperones will lead the breakout groups. Past students who have attended this retreat have said it was “life-changing” and “…wish I could do this several times a year.” \nOur discussion will be based on the book “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding. This is an excellent\, thought-provoking book that will also provide for great discussion. Every attendee (students and chaperones) MUST read the book BEFORE arriving on the first day of the retreat. You will not get much out of the retreat if the details of this book are not fresh in your mind\, so even if you’ve read it before please do so again to refresh your memory. You’ll also need to bring a hard copy of the book to the retreat with you. \nPlease plan to arrive between 6pm and 7pm on Thursday (no dinner available on the first night) and depart at 10:00am on Sunday. \nCost: $285 (plus tax) per student.  $150 (plus tax) per chaperone. Due upon sign up. The cost includes: 3 nights lodging\, 7 meals\, and all activities. Transportation is on your own. \nRead “Lord of the Flies” prior to arrival at Spring Canyon. \nIf you have any questions please call/text (303-406-8908) or email (heidi.truitt@springcanyon.org). \n\nRegister a Student\n									\n									\n									\n								Interested in chaperoning? As a chaperone you will need to read the assigned book ahead of time (before arriving for the retreat) so you are ready to guide the small group discussions during the retreat. Also\, please be prepared to help supervise the free time activities and help where needed throughout the weekend. No advance training is needed and all instruction will be given during the chaperone meeting on the first night of the retreat. \nRegister a Chaperone
