Summer Camp 2018 Theme

"Branching Out" - Connecting Through Christ
This summer’s church camp is a courage-filled opportunity for campers:

• To discover the importance of asking questions as they learn about God. 
• To understand how the magnitude of interconnectedness influences their encounters in the world. 
  
• To know that their actions toward others can be transformative 
  
• To discover how they might deepen their connection with God 
  
• To experience many ways to connect to God through the mystery of prayer. 
  
  
• To distinguish between judgement and justice. 
  

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.

Daily Overview
​

Theme 1 - Joshua 4:1–9 The Place Where We Camp
We mark special places as sacred and give ourselves reminders of our relationship to place. It can be anywhere we notice and are aware of God’s presence with us. 

Theme 2 - 1 Corinthians 11:23b–26  I Am the Vine
We make sacred bonds with one another and God by covenanting. Covenant is a way to express our connection beyond space and time. Jesus entered into covenant with us, and we with him, in Holy Communion. 

Theme 3 - John 8:2–11  Love One Another
We have to look around to see that we are all valuable
to God. People and their relationships to us are a treasure for us to protect. 

Theme 4 - Luke 15:11–32 I Chose You
We make decisions that affect the ways we are connected. Sometimes we need to choose to disconnect to learn where God is. 

Theme 5 - 1 Kings 18:11-13 I Have Spoken to You
We don’t always hear God through loud or obvious communication. We have to listen for the still small voice. 

Theme 6 - Luke 24:13-35 Abide With Me
We have tools we can use to reconnect to God, and we find them as we walk the road with Jesus. 
​
Theme 7 - Romans 8:35, 37-39 I Abide in You
Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
