Bud Englund

Bud and his wife, Rita, have a long history of serving in youth and children’s camp ministries. They met in their early 20’s serving at Wolf Mt. Camp in Grass Valley. Bud was working as a counselor of a teen work crew and Rita was a lifeguard. He also worked as a young adult at Mt. Hope as a maintenance worker. Later, when their four kids started attending church camps, they dove back into camp ministry. Bud volunteered as a medic and Rita as a counselor and later as an assistant director. Bud was employed with Oroville City Fire Dept. for 16 years and after a successful battle with cancer, was forced to retire. During this time, he volunteered at Mt Hope Bible Camp doing various projects. For the last 8 years Bud has served as the Executive Director at Mt Hope Bible Camp Bud would love to share his amazing story of how God led him back to Mt Hope Bible Camp over a cup of coffee. He stays active in a local volunteer fire department so that he can get out as a PIO on major incidents. He also enjoys fishing and hanging out with family and friends. Bud and Rita attend church in the community of Hallwood and love to serve where ever they are needed. Bud and Rita are excited for this new challenge God has given them and to see how God is going to work through their lives here at Mt. Hope Bible Camp.
