Dear God,

It's me again! It's a chilly rainy morning at camp. It's only a few short weeks until campers arrive. We have so many things that we have been planning and yet there is still so much we want to accomplish before they arrive.  It's going to be crazy with slime during You Can't Do That and challenging with Dangerous Camp for Boys. We'll have plenty of s'mores and cookouts, mosquitoes, and new friends. I love the dreams and excitement that build in campers and our summer staff as they think about summer and what could happen at camp this year. I pray Lord that you will work in amazing ways beyond their imaginations. I hope that they will not only grow in their relationship with you but in their character and self-confidence as well. I thank you for this time that kids can get away from what can be an overwhelming world and have a few mountain top moments to rejuvenate, rebuild, and experience God's love in new ways. Be with us as we prepare for camp this summer! Amen

Jr. Counselor Program

Do you reminisce about the good times you had at camp, the things you learned, the way your faith was challenged, and the friends you made? Now is your chance to help provide those same amazing memories to campers through the Jr. Counselor program. Once you have graduated from the CIT program you can apply to be a Jr. Counselor. You’ll have the opportunity to work hands on with campers and the program to apply the skills you learned in CIT. We’ll place you with a counselor that you will assist/shadow throughout the week. In the middle of the week we’ll take time to reflect on your achievements and areas of improvement. This program is for those aged 16 -18 and spots are limited. The application will be mailed/e-mailed to you and must be returned before being accepted into this program. 

Registration Coming Soon!

This Summer's Theme is.........
                                    Secrets of the Kingdom!


You are invited to join us this summer as we journey through the parables of Jesus to discover the Secrets of the Kingdom! Jesus used stories to teach his disciples --and us-- about what it means to live in his kingdom. We'll look at the Master Storyteller, Jesus himself, to discover six different parables and invite the Holy Spirit to teach us through these sacred stories. 


Secret #1: We Are the Soil 

Secret #2: We Can Ask Boldly 

Secret #3: God is Generous 

Secret #4: God Treasures Us 

Secret #5: Jesus is in the “Least of These” 

Secret #6: God Plants Us in the World 

"And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people."   Matthew 4:23

Keeping Up with the Deer 

Since moving to camp seeing the deer has become quite a normal experience. It's to the point where when they see my car they no longer run but stand and watch me as I park and walk into the camp's office. So, when we got a new camera this last week I had to try it out!  A herd of six deer stood next to Ferguson Lodge as I walked out of the office and of course the one day I want them to ignore me they take off running! After tromping around the corner of the Dining Hall I was able to catch a few shots until they turned tail and ran!
