In the Warmth of the Shadow: A boy, the Rocky Mountains and God... see what happens - Paperback

by Robert N. Ruesch (Author)

What would it be like to grow up in a vacation resort where each week every summer, life was completely different than the summer before? Where every summer afforded you the opportunity to meet new people, oftentimes each week? How would those experiences shape your life as an adolescent and then as a young adult?

Robert Ruesch grew up at the YMCA of the Rockies, in the shadow of Rocky Mountain National Park. In his book In the Warmth of the Shadow, he invites you on a trek through the memories, anecdotes, and everyday adventures of a boy learning about living one summer week at a time. Watch as his father takes a seasonal regional mountaintop camp and transforms it into a world-renowned, world-class resort where people's lives are changed forever.

The YMCA of the Rockies is a magical place. Now you can enter into the story of what made it great.
