Spiritual Emphasis The Island is dedicated to seeing each of the young people who set foot on the property make life-changing decisions for Christ. Our goal is to see the campers accept Jesus Christ as Savior, grow closer in their relationships with Him, and demonstrate a desire to share their faith with others. Every element at camp is designed to point in one of these directions. It is our desire to see every camper taking their next step with Jesus . Morning Rallies: Morning Rallies are when the speaker of the week brings a powerful, engaging message built on a book of scripture or a study on the life of a biblical character. These are times of growth for both new believers and established Christians. Evening Rallies: Evening rallies are high energy, and cover various topics related to taking your next step with Jesus. Gospel Rallies: The Gospel is presented and an invitation is given. Campfire Service: On Wednesday night we have our campfire dedication service. During this time we share the gospel and give the campers an opportunity to dedicate their lives to Christ and to be used by Him – placing all they are, all they have, and all they ever hope to be under His control. This is a very special time for the entire camp. Camper journals are given, which include a portion of the Word of Life Quiet Time Diary to use during their time at camp – stressing the importance of a daily time with the Lord. Weekly Schedule
