Learn how you can have Earth-Defying God Experiences every day! This summer, we’ll focus on living the life God has called us to; we’re called to be loved by God, to love and serve others, and to make disciples of Jesus Christ. We’re excited to explore the truth about how God has called us to be and how we can live it out alongside plenty of time to grow relationships, play Nuke’em, and make tons of great camp memories. This year, parents are invited at 6pm for dinner and Firebowl after 6:00 checkout on Thursday evening.
