45th Anniversary of Summer Camp @ Kirkmont Center--May 23 through September 3The summer curriculum "Handle With Care" will help campers deepen their understanding of what it means to live in loving relationship with God, each other, and creation, with an emphasis of how they can "Handle With Care" the relationship with creation. Campers will examine what the Bible says about their role in God's creation and consider what it means to handle the creation with care. Make your plans to attend camp this summer at Kirkmont. Canoe, fish, rest & relax, walk the labyrinth, explore the trails, play volleyball, tetherball, or bring your favorite yard games. God made us for relationship--with God, with each other, and with creation. We received word from Ed Delair, Director of the Kirkmont Center, that they have scholarships available for racial-ethnic campers for their new Construction Camp, PYC Conference, and Camp Rejoice. A new Bike Camp and their traditional Canoe Trip are great opportunities for adventure. The week of August 3 through August 8 is wide open for youth mission teams or your own mini-camp.
