Jesus proclaimed the coming of God’s kingdom to be on earth, as it is in heaven. There is no better place to put this into practice then at camp! We’ll explore what means to be citizens of God’s kingdom, the power and responsibility that comes with it, and we may even slay a dragon along the way. Activities include swimming in the pool, gaga ball, kayaking and more.

"Grand Camp was totally awesome! The schedule kept us busy, but not too busy. We were greatly surprised and so pleased to have our own cabin for quiet times. That was super! Food was incredible! And this was camp...wow!! The programming gave us opportunity to discuss our faith and our backgrounds. What a wonderful experience!"
