Spring 2025 Camp Theme
Dis|Re
Every man desires an identity, purpose, and fulfillment. We ultimately find all of these in God Himself. A journey of seeking Him, knowing Him and being known by Him leads to the deepest understanding of our identity, provides us the greatest purpose life has to offer, and delivers to us the most satisfying fulfillment man could experience.
So, if our ultimate enjoyment is in God, why is it so difficult to direct our chief desires toward our Maker? Where did this tension come from?
God creation was perfect. His mandate for man was clear. But we decided in the garden that there might be something better, so in our distrust we rebelled. The result was a fracturing of our relationship with God, and the introduction of disorder and death to His world. We became lost sheep in a sin-ruled world, yet God didn’t see us as a lost cause.
The prophesied Redeemer forged a pathway for us to God through a sinless life of faithfulness, obedience and sacrifice. His grace became the conduit for redemption. It is through this free gift and our faith driven repentance that we can be reconciled and restored.
But though we receive reconciliation, we still live in a world of dissension and disobedience. There is a war that rages in our minds that constantly tempts us away from truth toward a false satisfaction. It’s a battle that we can’t fight alone. If we want to win as men, our allegiance must be to our commanding officer.
It’s our time to retake our God given mandate. It’s our time to recapture our purpose. It’s our moment to step up as truth bearing men, as disciples, as co-creators, and as champions for God and His kingdom!
Isaiah 43:16-19 Romans 12:1-2
About Camping Opportunities
We offer spring, summer and fall father-son trips. We also occasionally offer family experiences.
At camp, we seek to creating solid masculine bonds. We do this through community, risk, competition, and ceremony.
Community
We break bread together. Eating together is a basic act of hospitality and one way we can share in something common to all, food. We create an atmosphere where sharing and laughter happen naturally, and where friendships are born or deepened.
We all play our role. Each father has a job to do in order to make camp run smoothly. By each doing their job well, camp models the body of Christ each working together to glorify God.
Risk
God’s creation is full of hidden treasures, and it is also at times harsh. We share in risk when we submit ourselves to the elements, and when we push our bodies to the limits in the hope of discovering something beautiful in God’s handiwork. It is in the hardship and discomfort of nature that we develop resilience, find God in new ways, and create bonds between brothers.
Competition
We value the competitive spirit. Not everything we do at camp relies on physical performance. We want boys to draw on their creativity, physicality, and mental capacities to learn to work with one another in team activities, and to make each other better in the process, win or lose.
Ceremony
Marking the pathway to manhood is of chief importance. At an early age, it is the father that takes the lead. But as a boy enters adolescence, it is his turn to carve his path with the biblical principles as his guide. Each boy receives and gives back in the process of finding manhood. Our unique rites of passage opportunities pave clear paths for boys to clearly define and embrace their role as men who live virtuously in all areas of life.
