It would be wonderful to trace what God had done through those who have been at Riverside. The Lord has the records.

1938 - The first Pre- Riverside Camp - Lac Cardinal The PRBI tent and other equipment was brought to the Grimshaw after the the camp closed at Gospel Point. A stove was brought out to the camp from Peace River where Mr Murry Downey was placed in charge of the camp. There was a log building and some thirty to forty campers in attendance. Some of the camper had memorized Scripture verses to attend the camp for free. 1939 Notikewin Leaving Gospel Point with a truck loaded down and pulling a home made cabin trailer we were soon broken down outside of Valleyview. A few of the men left us ladies to fend for ourselves as they headed for Grande Prairie for repairs. On their return we headed off to camp arriving a day late. - Mrs. McNaughton At the camp there were no buildings, just tents and a couple of trailers. The kitchen proved to be of no problem since it was constructed mostly out of rough shelves and poplar boughs. We moved the outside dining area into the big meeting tent one chilly morning. One interesting item I remember finding was some rotted logs glowing with phosphorous in the dark. 1940 - 1944 No camp was held in the Peace area due to the lack of men to help with the camp duties there was also a shortage of monies and supplies again due to the war.
