Summer is here and it is time for church camp. I love camp and it was where I first began my relationship with Christ. This will be my third year to direct summer camp and I truly enjoy seeing students connect with the risen Christ. Each year students join other students for encouragement, accountability and fun. Camp is a place for students to step away from their regular routines and participate with other students in a weeklong adventure. I have witnessed many hearts soften and receive the love and acceptance that God offers them. During camp, students have the opportunity to serve the community, hone a potential spiritual gift, worship with friends and be mentored by an adult. I believe in summer camp and hope that you will be encouraged to take part in this event with me and with many others.
