Campers in 3rd-8th grade are invited to head out to camp for this two-night weekend retreat on February 13th-15th.  We’ll stay in our cozy winterized facilities while we enjoy camp’s traditional activities like crafts, singing, nature, Bible study, group games, morning watch, vespers, and delicious family-style meals.  But, we’ll also have all kinds of extra special winter fun including a mid-winter celebration, toboggan rides at Pokagon State Park, hot chocolate, and a movie night with popcorn and snacks!

Into the Wilderness
Our bible theme for this weekend will be “Into the Wilderness”. Deans Miriam Erbaugh and Andrew Morrison will be leading us in our daily worship, bible studies, and much more. The wilderness can inspire us and guide us, assuring us of God’s constant presence. As the Spirit guides us through the wilderness, we find what we need to face our fears and the very real challenges that impact our world. The wilderness teaches us the importance of community and the ways we navigate challenges together. The wilderness reveals our strengths, growing edges, and potential as God equips us for the unknown still to come. The wilderness awaits us all, and God meets us there.

Key themes we will be studying: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made (Psalm 139: 7-14), The Broken Road (Luke 10: 25-37), and A Future with Hope (Jeremiah 29: 11-14)
