Campers,
Summer is just around the corner and we’re so excited to share some information about this year’s camp. The camp dates for this year are June 25-29.
We will again be having both Youth and Children’sCamp on the Hill at the same time. Though the camps will be at the same time, they will be entirely separate camps, with separate activities. Please feel free to call or email with any concerns regarding this.
Our theme for youth this year will be “Connected” . Colby Bridges will be the Youth Camp pastor and First Baptist Carl Junction will be leading worship. Both are exited to make this a week of growing more connected to Christ, team building, serving , and having a blast along the journey.
Our theme for Children Camp is “Charged…Powered by God, C onnected through Christ”. JR slater will be camp pastor with First Baptist Carl Junction also leading worship. They are excited to join the kids in having fun while learning more about the power of God,building team spirit, serving others, and yes, I want to just say again while having fun!
