Perhaps the most important thing that you can do to help your group build a Christian Community is to consider why you are coming to camp.
Camp is a place to retreat and to be away from the rest of the world so that we can focus on what it means to follow Jesus Christ, to be members of God’s family, and have fun, too.
This is why we are clear about what we bring to camp, don’t bring to camp, and how we live and treat each other while we are at camp.
To help all of us get the most out of our week together as a camp community, we ask that campers remain at camp all week and have no visitors.
Use this, Camp Commissiong Service (180), to commission your campers, counselors, and directors as they prepare to go to camp this summer.
