By 6:00 p.m. the January sun has already set at Big Lake Youth Camp. “This time of year, it’s usually dark by the time they pick us up,” said Tylor Watts, one of the young adults attending this year’s Oregon Young Adults and Big Lake Staff Winter Retreat. “It’s cool going through the trees at night on the snow cat.”
After being brought into the snow-buried camp, settling into cabins and getting together for a meal and worship service, things finally felt a little bit like they used to.
