Passing the Torch

​For the past 45 years Bob Nass has impacted countless lives of men and boys as he faithfully served as Director of Sequoia Brigade Camp. This summer Bob will turn 80 and he feels It would be best for someone else to take up the role of Director. It really shouldn’t surprise us, but God knows our needs before we do, and He has sovereignly provided for us. Over the past few years, a long time friend of camp has felt led to become more involved with camp again. Last year we invited him to join the board, and we unanimously agreed that he should take up the position. If you don’t know Karl Benson, Here’s a word of introduction from him as our new Camp Director!

“Hello! I’m Karl Benson,

I am honored and excited to take up the position as Director of Sequoia Brigade Camp.  The camp is unique in that we do not own a piece of property to run our camp.  We specialize in a wide variety of Adventure Trips. We emphasize the spiritual growth and discipleship of all of our campers. We help today’s Christian men be better dads, and help to develop young men into the Christian Leaders of tomorrow.
I have been involved with the ministry of this camp since 1988, first as a Trip Leader, then as a member of the Board of Directors (1988–2000).  When I went into Law Enforcement in 2001, I left the Board but kept active in the Camp by leading one or more trips almost every year. When I had to retire from Public Safety in 2017, I began searching for God’s direction for my life’s next chapter.”
