Where did he work? Camp Ewalu in Strawberry Point, IA.

Ask him about him time on staff at Ewalu. He can probably best answer these questions at the camp themed chapel at 11:20 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 20.

Or, visit the booth for Ewalu next Thursday, Feb. 22, from 4 -6:30 p.m. in the East Commons. Hopefully, President Pribbenow will spend some time visiting the booth of his former employer as well. You can also visit the booths of several other camps.

Up to 18 students can receive stipends to work at camp this summer. These $500 stipends will give a boost to your camp pay. Get an application at the Camp Fair, or request one from Ross Murray in the Campus Ministry Office. Ross’ phone is 612-330-1151 and his email is murray@augsburg.edu
