The Least of These… No matter where we go, poverty surrounds us. Sometimes it is painfully visible, demanding a response. Other times its presence is masked, kept hidden from the public. Poverty makes each day an insufferable struggle. At this retreat, we’ll examine our role in taking care of the poor and needy and the importance of Hope. God’s plan? It’s you and me. We are God’s solution for poverty. Join together for study and reflection, for strengthening our hope and faith. There will be plenty of time as well for play and relaxation at your mountaintop retreat.

Kingdom Secrets:
Unlocking the Treasure


Ever dream of finding buried treasure? In the movies, pirates search for buried treasure in order to find gold coins, precious jewelry, and riches beyond belief. What they don’t know is that the most precious of treasures is right in plain sight…in our Bibles! This year at Mingus Mountain Senior High Camp we will unlock the precious treasure found in the Bible by exploring the parables of Jesus. Through our explorations, we’ll discover everyday stories about everyday people, told by Jesus to help his followers understand the Kingdom of God…and in between, we’ll explore the beauty of God’s kingdom that is Mingus Mountain Church Camp. Youth entering grades 9-12 and graduated seniors are invited to our team of explorers! We hope you will join us on the treasure hunt of a lifetime!
