Why Send My Child?

Why Send My Child?

As parents, we invest finances, time, energy, and effort into helping our youth develop socially, athletically, academically, and in many other ways. Summer camp is one week you can invest in the spiritual life of your young person. When you start sending your youth to camp when they are young, they will develop a kindred spirit towards camp and the friends they make there, which will continue as they grow older.

The greatest demand on their lives in the spiritual realm will take place at camp as their hearts become tender and pliable. It is at camp that they gain a spiritual strength to confront the issues and problems that come into their lives throughout the year and in the future.

My son and daughter would express to you the fun and spiritual value of camp. Some of the benefits of young people attending camp are:

1. To help them realize that they are not alone in their stand for Christ.
2. To help the young begin to develop independence in a Christian environment.
3. To learn to follow guidelines and rules set by others.
4. To bond into a peer group with other youth from your local church and from around the state.
5. To ignite and strengthen their spiritual walk.
6. To come home appreciating their parents, homes, and having found a purpose for their own lives.

Parents, sending your young person to camp is not a week off. It is a week when you give thought to their spiritual life, and you are praying that God touches them, helps them, and becomes very real to them. Our camps in Montana are designed with them in mind.

Friend of youth. If you do not have youth of your own, help us to scholarship young people through your church. It will be one of the greatest investments you’ve ever made in a young person’s life. There are many youth who cannot afford to attend. Camp this summer is costing approximately $97, and you can help by giving any amount to your local church. Partial scholarships are appreciated.

Your church has applications and information regarding our camps this summer.
