What is Camp?
Camp includes a ton of fun – lake time, theme nights, games, color competitions, and more – and it also includes the opportunity to worship, to serve others, to build community in small groups, and to be discipled.
Camp is an opportunity to step out of the normal rhythms of life and be intentional about knowing each other and God deeper. This is a week to focus on the greatness of God, to run from apathy, and engage in an awe-inspired pursuit of Him. Be challenged to find your next step in following Him this year!
