As we look forward to the summer camping season this year, I hope you’ll consider a good camp ministry for your kids and students – one with a great reputation, that is strong on the g ospel, and engages young people where they are. And if you do, I’m confident God will continue to move in and through the hearts of our young people through the ministry of quality camps and the wonderful Christian workers who serve there. We’re committed to continuing our partnership with great camps because we’re convinced God is still using them to raise up a new generation of disciples to carry the light of the gospel to their friends and family. I can’t think of a better way to spend a summer, can you? HISTORY AND LEGACY I would look for a camp that has a good reputation within the community and with the churches who have partnered with them through the years. There is something powerful about sustained faithfulness over the long haul. It takes to build a great name and to build trust. If I were choosing a camp ministry I would want to be sure they had a history of integrity and faithfulness. 3
