I’m looking ahead to the summer of 2020 and praying for 20/20 vision as we focus on our theme:“Fix your eyes on Jesus”

Hebrews 12:2 states “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

As I sit and write this, I know that things in the world around me are uncertain at this time however, I will fix my eyes on Jesus and trust that He will make a way for summer camp.

Since last fall and early this year, I have had the op- portunity to share about our awesome camp ministry at churches, Pioneer Clubs, local school fun fairs and even in the resident house (on property) as I invited folks in for an ‘Open House’. We had 15 Christmas trees and about 40 guests at the Open House who were excited to learn more about camp.

The best part in all this has been meeting campers from last summer, seeing kids excited for the upcoming summer and hearing from adults about their camp experience.

As I have shared in local churches and clubs, I convey that for a period of usually a
week, around 10,000 minutes––often more––campers experience actual adventures in an outdoor setting. They form new relationships with brand-new peers and caring, adult role-models ––a temporary community where they can take risks and ask--and even answer, life’s most important questions about faith, family and God.
