SUMMER CAMPS
Faith-based summer camps are an excellent way to connect with God, other people, and creation. Michigan offers a wide variety of camping experiences for children, youth, and adults of all abilities.
Camp Changes Lives!
The Rev. Benton Heisler shares why he and his entire family believe in Christian camping.
CAMP SUNDAY
Camp Sunday is a wonderful way to introduce, highlight, and raise support for camping. Invite campers to share a story. Sing camp songs. Take a collection for camp scholarships. Invite a camp director or liaison to preach. There are so many ideas and ways to promote and support camping in your local church.
