For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~Jeremiah 29:11

In this (seemingly) perpetual season of change, we, the Desert Southwest Camp & Retreat Ministries Team, have found we are shifting again. Tracey Brown, long-time Director of Potosi Pines Camp and Retreat Center, has been called to a new position. Beginning in October, she will serve as the Executive Director at Pilgrim Pines, a UCC Camp & Retreat Center located in Oak Glen, CA.

Tracey has served joyfully and faithfully at Potosi Pines for over 13 years. We, using what we like to call “camp math,” believe the following to be true about her service here in the Desert Southwest:

Tracey Brown

  • She has made approximately 134,000 s’mores and consumed 243 of them. (Can you really expect her to eat them all?)
  • She has counted over 15,000,000 stars (but the rumor is she lost count once and had to start over, so we’re sure that count is actually much higher)
  • She has learned and forgotten more ‘Dad’ jokes than most humans should hear in one lifetime.
  • She has ensured that thousands of foster children can experience God’s love through a camp experience. What a blessing!
  • She has patiently taught and developed an untold amount of youth and young adults as they mature—guiding them to be better people and better leaders for the glory of God.
  • She has cultivated a warm and inviting community where all who come are challenged, inspired, loved, and welcomed for who they are.

For all these things AND SO MUCH MORE, we will miss Tracey. Yet, we are sure that Tracey will continue in the ministry of making disciples of Christ for the transformation of the world. Join us as we wish her well by sending an email or sending a card to Tracey at tracey7673@live.com or 10910 Mount Potosi Canyon Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89161

With gratitude for Tracey and hope for the future of Potosi, we are still confident that God has big plans for Camp & Retreat Ministries in the Desert Southwest, and we are excited to see what happens next!
