Camping

Introduction

Our Camping Retreat is a refreshing overnight experience designed to help individuals and families step away from the busyness of daily life and reconnect with nature, community, and God. Set in a scenic regional park, this trip blends outdoor adventure with meaningful fellowship.

Purpose

The goal of the Camping Retreat is to strengthen relationships, cultivate spiritual reflection, and create space for quiet rest and joyful community time. Surrounded by God's creation, we spend intentional time in prayer, sharing, and supporting one another.
