What is camping to YOU?

When I say "camping" what do you think about? Well, because of the picture below, s'mores might be on your mind. Maybe you think of a tent, trees, bears, canoes, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, camp fires, mosquito bites, and maybe even portapotties. Unfortunately, if those are the things you are looking for in this website, you came to the wrong place. The kind of "camping" I'm talking about is probably very different than anything you've ever read about before. I'm talking about Christian camping.

When I think of "going to camp," I think of these things.

• Dodgeball pit
• Swimming hole
• Convicting preaching
• Sand volleyball
• Paintball
• God-honoring music
• Laser Tag
• Team comradry
• Salvation decisions
• Mystery Mansion

Someone's got so explaining to do...

Now you are probably very confused. First, I made you all hungry for s'mores. Now, I'm trying to convince you to go to a camp where there is preaching. Believe it or not, some of the best memories of my life involved preaching! These were the times when I attended Christian camps. We played hard all day and then got all cleaned up and listened to a preacher who taught us from God's Word how to love God and hate our sin.

What is Camping to ME?

Christian camping is a way to get young people off the couch, give them the time of their lives doing all the things they love to do, and teach them how to live for God with every day of their lives. Unlike other camps, where young people come for a week, have a blast, and then go home excited about all the fun they had but unchanged by the events of the week. When young people go to a Christian camp, they still have tons of fun, they make a bunch of friends that they will never forget, and they go home transformed by the Word of God. Christian camping has an ETERNAL effect on the lives of young people. This is why I've titled this blog Eternal Camping. Have you ever considered going to a Christian camp? Do it! It will make a lasting impact on your life!
