Simpson will transition out of his responsibilities as Collins comes on board as director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are so grateful for Pete\u2019s leadership during a challenging time, getting essential work done that will assist in ministry moving forward,\u201d said Alan Rogstad, executive director of PNW Camp &amp; Retreat Ministries. \u201cWe are also very excited to welcome David and his family to this important ministry. I look forward to working with him as Camp Indianola moves into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collins\u2019s passion for the outdoors has endured and is something he shares with his family. \u201cOver the last four years, my family has visited 27 national parks, countless monuments, and historical sites.&nbsp;After serving primarily in the local congregation for the past 17 years, this was truly inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCamp Indianola is equally inspiring as a place where the beauty, goodness, and grace of God\u2019s Creation can be seen and experienced first-hand as we look to grow our faith in Christ,\u201d offered Collins. \u201cI look forward to continuing this journey with all of you by God\u2019s grace. We are so excited to call the Pacific Northwest our new home!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Camp Indianola is a summer camp, retreat center and outdoor education facility located 45 minutes from Seattle on beautiful Puget Sound.
