Summer Camp 2017 Theme

"Fearless Faith- Courage in Community"
This summer’s church camp is a courage-filled opportunity for campers:

To acknowledge fear of new experiences, rejection, being misconcieved, being taken advantage of, and the unknown
To explore giving and receiving grace and the transformative power of forgiveness
To find confidence and power in the impact of communal worship
To identify and address injustice in the world and their own communities

What does it mean to be a part of a Christian community? How can the Church be a resource that gives campers confidence and courage? Campers will explore how they themselves are a part of the Church and what that means about how we relate to one another and the world. Watch how the strength of Christian community casts out fear and replaces it with hope! This year's curriculum offers fun, age-appropriate tools to explore scripture, experience Christian community, and express joy through worship and song.
