The Summer That Changed My Life | Why I Still Believe in Camp Ministry

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2534143/fan_mail/new] This week I’m sharing why summer camp has always held such a special place in my heart ❤️ As a little girl, church camp was the highlight of my summer — swimming, crafts, chapel, camp songs, muddy obstacle courses, cabin laughs, and friendships I looked forward to all year long. What I didn’t realize then was that while I was busy having fun seeds of faith were being planted in my heart. Years later, after drifting far from those childhood lessons, God used camp ministry to completely change the direction of my life. And now, getting to come back years later and volunteer at Caton’s Island has felt so full circle for me. In this episode I’m sharing: ✨ why camp mattered so much growing up ✨ how those childhood seeds stayed rooted deep down ✨ the summer that changed my faith forever ✨ why volunteering at camp means so much to me now ✨ and why I still believe camp ministry changes lives You truly never know what seeds are being planted in a child’s life ❤️ If camp ministry has ever touched your life in some way, I would LOVE to hear your story.
