Overnight Camps

Wilderness is a broad term that evokes different images for different people. Some think about the images accompanying Bible stories, such as the Exodus or Jesus’ temptation. Some think about the rural areas around them. Yet, wilderness experiences can take place beyond the woods or desert. The wilderness is a liminal space where we explore unknowns, face personal questions, or find ourselves growing with God.
At camp, we will explore the idea of “Wilderness” as a time and place of challenge and growth. We will explore the places that leave us fearful, hopeful, nostalgic, nervous, and excited about what God might be preparing us for next. We know that such experiences are unavoidable. Change will happen. Mistakes will be made. Lessons will be learned. Wisdom will be discovered. Stuff will go down. No matter what ours might look like, “wilderness” moments will happen. How profound and comforting it can be to know that, while the wilderness will be a reality, God will be with us all the way.
