Where have you seen God at camp?: Anytime I need a moment with God, I always retreat to the waterfront and stand next to the cross or sit on the dock. I feel God’s presence through the wind blowing around and reflect on the wonders of God as I look out over the water. It always brings me so much peace. A specific moment I saw God at camp was during my summer serving as the DayShore director. Each week I was able to serve such a variety of campers ranging from low income families to campers that were differently abled. Yet, each week the community that was formed between the campers was so strong. Though the counselors had less time with the campers I often saw stronger bonds formed between them and their campers. It showed me that God can work wonders no matter where and in even a short amount of time.
Why is camp important?: As a camper and young adult, I always struggled finding a group that I felt I belonged to. Camp showed me that I can be who I want and that I don’t need to fit a mold to be accepted. God’s love and mercy is so overflowing at camp that I can’t help but feel completely accepted no matter what I bring to the table. I think it is important for everyone to experience a love like that, a love that is constantly overflowing even when we feel like we deserve none.

Where have you seen God at camp? “God is ever present. If I had to pick one moment that stood out to me, there was a moment when Laura and I were checking on the Oxley Sabbatical Cottage and looking through the trees and at the water, I felt such a sense of comfort and peace. I could be there all day.”
Why is camp important? “Camp is important because it fosters relationships and their own self-confidence. It gives them the opportunity to meet new people and see old friends.”

I love to simply go in there some times kneel and pray and look out of the window at such beauty our creator has blessed us with! God is everywhere within the staff, the campers, retreat guests , the children!!! There is a loving & welcoming environment that each of us have something to bless one another with! God is all around
Why is camp important?: Camp opens up the doors for us to get out of our comfort zones and learn to interact with others we have never met. Friendships are started at camp, relationships are built, and with one goal in mind! To show the love and grace of God & to ipkift and encourage one another. Camp makes an impression in all of our hearts that last thru our journey. Our campers or our staff have the ability to be loved and give
