Join us for a groovy summer and get the lowdown on God’s fab love! We’ll be exploring all the far out ways we are linked together in the unlimited love of the Creator. We will discover how we can take that love to the max by accepting it for ourselves and sharing it with others. Links of love can be seen throughout our lives and are needed to build and maintain strong and healthy relationships with our families, friends, and neighbors.
Can you dig it?
We’d be stoked to have you with us on the mountain. We’ll go bananas swimming, hiking, singing, doing crafts, practicing archery, and worshiping together. We’ll chill at campfire and with family groups and friends. It would be a bummer to miss!
Catch you on the Camp Side!
