Friends,

As many of you know, we were hit hard by a hailstorm back in March that severely damaged the roof of every building at the camp. We haven't said much about it over the last several months because we were waiting for the final numbers from insurance.

We now know that the extent of the claim is 2.1 million. Our deductible for wind/hail damage is 5% of the value of each building, which is a significant amount.

The restoration work will begin soon to replace the roof on every insured building at Alto Frio. However, we are $300,000 short of being able to meet our deductible.

Today, we are asking for 300 churches or individuals who will prayerfully step out in faith with us and donate $1,000 each to get us to that goal. I will be personally donating the first $1,000. Will 299 of you be willing to join me?

For 106 years, Alto Frio has been a place where churches, students, and families gather to experience God, grow in their faith, and for countless many, accept Christ as their Savior. Many of your testimonies involve moments at Alto Frio where you prayed for salvation, forgiveness, or even surrendered to the ministry.

There are 3 ways you can help to ensure that the ministry can continue for another 100 years.
1. Donate $1,000 towards our goal. (Click the GIVE button on the bottom right of www.altofrio.com or mail a check to PO Box 468, Leakey, TX 78873. Write "300 Donation" in the memo of your check or online.)
2. Pray for us as we navigate this restoration process.
3. Share this campaign with your church and friends.

In Judges 7, God told Gideon to send thousands of men home and used just 300 to defeat the Midianites. I believe God will now call 300 of us to meet this need to help ensure the future of Alto Frio.

HIS humble servant,
Brandon

Sun is shining this morning at Alto Frio.

We had 1.5 inches of rain overnight, however, the river stayed below where it rose to yesterday afternoon.

The small group of campers from the San Antonio church arrived back at camp this morning for breakfast after staying overnight at Leakey HS and are eating breakfast before they head home.

Our property and buildings remain safe and unaffected by flooding.

There is no rain in the forecast for this weekend or all of next week and we look forward to welcoming our next group of churches on Monday afternoon.

Out of an abundance of caution, the Real County Judge asked that campers be housed at the Leakey High School Gym overnight. All the information was given to the church leaders that are at Alto Frio this afternoon. All churches except 1 have made the decision to leave and have already departed or will be soon.

The one remaining church from San Antonio has 10 adults and 13 teens and they will be going to Leakey HS Gym for the night.

Our main property and buildings remain safe from flooding and all Alto Frio staff are remaining at the camp.

We have been in contact all day with local authorities including Real County Judge, Bella Rubio, and with the Texas Department of Emergency Management along with other camps in Real County.

Real County Judge, Bella Rubio, and the Real County Sheriff just met with the adult sponsors at Alto Frio and let them know that everyone is safe and Alto Frio is not in danger of flooding at this time.

They do not recommend any evacuations and they asked that churches here not self evacuate.

We will remain in constant contact with local authorities throughout the day.

A couple more inches of rain overnight.

Our campers and property remain safe and conditions at Alto Frio haven’t changed from the last few days.

Radar looking like there should be a break in the rain in about an hour.

We haven’t had more than a quick, light shower since around noon today and the water has already soaked into the ground.

The river rose to 7.36 feet and is back down to 6.28 feet, significantly lower than the 13 feet it was at this time last year.

We’ve had over 8 inches of rain in the last 72 hours. Forecast is showing maybe a 1/2 inch overnight and 1.5 inches total for tomorrow. So we do not expect any change in current conditions.

Camp remains operating as normal and the campers and property remain safe and in no danger of flooding.

The clouds rolled in, the rain poured down… and then the sun broke through. ☀️ God’s timing is always perfect. The pool is open, laughter is filling the air, and these kids are making memories they’ll never forget. Another beautiful day at Alto Frio! 💙

Sun is starting to shine and campers are enjoying outdoor activities after a morning of worship and Bible study at Alto Frio.

Our property continues to be safe and in no danger of flooding.

We’re still safe! We’ve had a lot of rain overnight and we are wet but our property remains safe and is not in any danger of flooding.

We’ve been monitoring weather and the river through the night. The Frio River in Leakey was at 3 feet yesterday and is at 4.25 feet this morning. For comparison, it was at 13 feet this same week last summer and even then our property was never in danger of flooding.

Everyone at Alto Frio remains safe. Will keep you posted.
