Summer Camp Information

 

"That I May Know Him" - Phil 3:10

Our mission is for campers to know Christ as their Savior and to

grow in their personal relationship with God.  Campers will experience

the fun and excitement of all we have to offer, climbing, kayaking, rappelling, ropes course, games, swimming, crafts, and much more.

What makes camp unique, is that each of these activities will allow campers to learn how to biblically and practically apply Scripture to

their daily lives.  Through guidance from the staff and instruction in

daily Chapel, Bible Study, Missions, and Devotions, campers will

be taught and discipled to know what it means to live by God's

grace and truth, fully committed to Him.

The Theme for 2009 is 

Full Courage...Phil 1:20

"It is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death."

Paul was a man full of courage and strength, willing to serve for the sake of the gospel at any cost.  Paul knew God's grace and responded by serving the Lord.  He also knew that God was able to provide for him and sustain him through every challenge.  With FULL COURAGE we are to live, serve, and and love the Lord because His grace is sufficient for us. Now, as always, God has called us to be bold and unashamed.  He calls us to declare His truth and to live in such a way that will bring Him honor and glory.

About Our Staff

We recognize the spiritual maturity of the staff ministering to campers

is extremely important because much of the message we hope to communicate is more often "caught" than "taught." The Staff members

we select are committed Christians who demonstrate a desire to grow

in their faith, and who demonstrate interest in working together with

brothers and sisters to impact campers' lives for Christ. Counselors

and program staff are comprised of college-age individuals who are

striving to be positive Christian role models.  Each camper will have

the opportunity throughout the summer to meet with one of his or her  counselors one-on-one to talk about salvation or discipleship.
