Year-At-A-Glance (or maybe two glances.. or three...)

So, a year (almost) of campers and activities and events. So much to say, so little space! Take a gander at some of the happenings at camp this year (so far). Scroll to the bottom to read some of the God stories from the summer.

We had a strong man competition with multiple events at our Spring Momentum Men's Retreat. This is the tractor tire flip relay race.

It was incredible hearing so many men singing praises to our even more incredible God!

Carra and Lanna found themselves to be celebrities at the Spring Thrive Women's Retreat...

About six weeks before family camps started we added Rowan Jon Moorman to our little family.

Family Camp 2024

Commissioned: Run with Purpose

Aiden working in our CREW program for high school students. Safety first when wiping down tables (who knows???).

Transformation Ministries Week

A ministry that works with inner city families. It was a great week hosting these families!

Lanna celebrated her Sweet Sixteenth this summer!

Getting there just in time for evening session.

All of us 80's kids know that this was arriving in style!

A lazy day at the beach.

Sometimes I wish I had appreciated how good I had it as a baby!

Each camp ends with a beach party on Friday night. It is a great time of fellwoship before heading home Saturday morning.

Read through the following sampling of the many comments and testimonies we got this summer to see how God has used your support to encourage and change lives and families:

"I cannot thank you enough for serving, endlessly. wiping tables, picking up food/life jackets, cleaning the sand daily, joyfully taking our food trays, healthy kid-friendly food (no desserts) all the warm smiles from each staff, the kid's teachers who genuinely asked what we learned in chapel, each creative game and all the setup, personal communication via phone call when I would email a question when the speaker mentioned  "your kids are fine" gave me permission to say before the Lord and pray a little longer. Thank you for the drying racks and rails on the bunks- so practical. As a mom with 3 kids, homeschooling, and full-time ministry- what a gift each of those acts of service were! Thank you! Even staggered Men and Women coffee. Such strategic scheduling; also great job worship team authentically leading kid-friendly worship. Living in a city this was a gift to our kids play and rest/relax. They could be safe and just explore and be a kid."

"My wife and I work full-time in college ministry. We're often on the side of serving and pouring out into others. It was really nice this week to be on the other side to receive and benefit from others. During the school year, we go hard and have lots on our plates, It's a nice reset to be here and slow down before we get ready to ramp up for the coming start of a new ministry school year."

"...one of the most helpful and practical speakers I’ve ever heard. God used him to change the course of our family’s life over just a few days."

"Gospel so clear and I loved the theme this week. We needed clear direction on how to activate our household, and this was such an answer to prayer."

"Being here has been a place of healing and redemption in many ways than one. Thank you to all the staff and crew and behind the scene people. Yall are amazing and are so appreciated!"

"We always have a great time disconnecting and remembering our calling that God has for us to take back to life afterwards. Thanks so much for this time to be with family and friends and most importantly to have space to hear God more clearly without rush."

"There truly are not enough words. Thank you for pouring in and giving families a time to connect and take intentional time for one another."

"Our church blessed us by sending us here as part of our short sabbatical. We are leaving equipped with new rhythms and practices to add to our daily lives that will prepare us and our children to live radically for Christ!"
