Is Summer Camp Worth It?

“I know my calling is serving God, and I’m fine with whatever He wants me to do.”

“God spoke to me in many ways here during our stay, but the best way that I saw and felt God was through my youth group. Watching them fall on their faces and pour out their hearts to God was so moving. Words just cannot describe.”

“I got saved Monday, and I know that it hasn’t been long, but [God] is already working on me! Before, I hadn’t been able to pray for anyone because I couldn’t even pray for myself, but I’ve learned how to do it and I’m so grateful!”

Turning Down the Cute Scarf

Each week of summer, on the Thursday or Friday of camp, we ask the campers to take a minute at either breakfast or lunch to fill out comment cards, explaining to us what they liked, what they didn’t like, if there is something we can do better, something we can change, etc.

One of our favorite parts is going back and reading these comment cards. The stories that are shared are most times heart warming. Other times, they may be heart breaking. Either way, these stories and testimonies that the campers share are so beautiful because they are simply so pure and genuine.
