Sometimes the things we do at camp seem a little silly and inconsequential, yet in the under-current there is something powerful at work. God's Holy Spirit is alive and at work in the lives of campers and staff. Camp is one of the few places left in our busy world where we can slow down enough to let God speak to us and for us to consider what direction God may be leading us. Perhaps it is no wonder that so many of the Church's leaders, both clergy and lay, list their experience at camp as formative to their growth in faith. For the health of the church, it is important that we continue to support our outdoor ministries. More than just a place to have fun on a Summer day, it is a vital outpost for the Church's leadership development.
