Camp Evergreen

As we reach the halfway point of summer, we are so grateful for all that God has been doing here at camp. Thank you for your faithful prayers and support—they continue to encourage and strengthen our ministry.

While we are enjoying a wonderful summer season, we are also preparing for the fall, which is approaching quickly.

If you know of any young adults who are not planning to return to school this fall and are seeking an opportunity to serve, we would be grateful if you would share our Fall Staff opportunities with them. This may be where God is leading them for the season ahead.

Thank you for your prayers and support as we steward the rest of this summer ahead!
