How God Prepared the Way

Written by Jerrid Currey   Ever since I was a child, I have been told that God had a plan and a purpose for my life, but I never really understood what that meant. For years I would wonder, “What is God’s plan for my life? What does He want me to do?

Conditions since March 2020 have left ...

How to Make Camp More Than Just Games

Written by Nate Smith How do you make camp about more than just games? Develop and cultivate the right camp culture. Why do kids want to go to camp? Why do parents want to send their kids to camp? These are two great questions with drastically different answers. Camps are rightly asking these two questions and evaluating the answers to implement solutions and improve their programs. Before seeking the answers to those two questions, a better question to consider would be: Why camp? When you answer “Why camp?” you are forced to honestly evaluate what is important. Program directors who want to make camp more than just games will do these ...
