Explorers Camp
| The Explorers, for children entering 3rd grade - 6th grade, will be in search of the secrets of God's kingdom this summer. Our exploration will take us into the parables of Jesus; and we'll look at the Master Storyteller, Jesus himself. As the stories invite us to look at ourselves and the world around us, it will certainly be a mysterious adventure that will include exploration of the Mingus Camp, of relationships, through other engaging activities. So, come.. be prepared to explore, discover and share all of God's wonderful secrets together! |
Camp Discovery
| At Camp Discovery, we invite you into a fantastic realm of discovery where we will find connections between what we can discover in Jesus’ Parables and the amazing environment that is Mingus Mountain. Camp Discovery will help to open eyes, hearts and minds to God’s presence as campers explore nature, the environment, and the habitat of Mingus Mountain while reflecting upon the stories of Jesus. Family groups will build relationship and community through interactive experiences with nature, worship, crafts, astronomy, games, and physical activities. Each evening features a unique activity to end a spectacular day. Come discover with us! |
God’s kingdom is an upside down kingdom. God treasures those who are last and least and treasures each of us. At Super Camp, we will seek to live into the upside down Kingdom of God as we explore the parables of Jesus. Through outdoor learning, active games, music, drama, and more, come and discover how we can respond to God who can use even our smallest actions to build the upside down Kingdom of God. |
