SUMMER CAMP
At The Pines, summer is full of life. The days are longer, the laughter is louder, and the forest is bursting with growth. Just like the evergreens that stay strong through every season, our theme Evergreen: Faith That Flourishes is about a faith that does not just survive but thrives. When we stay rooted in what matters most, our faith grows deeper, stronger, and more vibrant, no matter what season of life we are in. Summer Camp is a time to step away from the noise, build meaningful friendships, reflect, worship, and experience the joy of a faith that is alive and growing. Join us for an unforgettable week of adventure, community, and discovering what it means to live out an Evergreen faith that flourishes.
