The earth is the Lord's and everything in it.

• to connect with nature

• to enjoy the outdoors

​

​

God is Green camp will include indoor and outdoor games, a variety of sports, wood, clay and other craft activities, weekly field trips and daily lessons on how our God is GREEN! So come join us for the summertime fun!

   "If we are children of God, we have a tremendous treasure and will realize that it is holy and sacred. We will see God reaching out to us in every wind that blows, every cloud in the sky, every flower that blooms, and every leaf that fades, if only we will focus our eyes and hearts to see it."

--Adapted quote from Oswald Chambers
