Camp Scholarships: A week of camp can be a life-changing experience for those involved. New friendships, skills, self-confidence, and faith development are all nurtured in the camp setting. The Board of Outdoor and Retreat Ministries does not deny participation based on inability to pay. Gifts to camp scholarships allow us to assure that a camp experience is available to all. In 2008, Outdoor and Retreat Ministries granted approximately 138 scholarships for a total of $18,099. Click here for personal story. | ||
| Camper Bibles: Bible study is one of the primary practices that help build lifestyles of Christian discipleship, and is an important part of camp and retreat experiences. The American Bible society is now offering the opportunity to provide a special camp and retreat edition of the Bible for our campers. The cost of a Bible is approximately $4. Your gift will help us provide Bibles for our campers. Click here for more photos and personal story. |
