Camp Sentinel: September 2022 Update

9/14/2022

"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."
  James 4:8 

In the last moments of camp this summer, I shared time with the day campers on the stage. It was one young camper’s birthday; we were celebrating with homemade chocolate cupcakes.  With chocolate all over our faces, I asked one young 5-year-old boy: "Do I have chocolate on my face?" He held out HIS thumb to wipe MY face.  Surprised by his gesture, I smiled and said, "Thank you, but I can get the chocolate off my own face."  We laughed and I let out a deep breath. 3 summer camp seasons and no Covid at camp. Praise Elohim Shomri

Simple moments at camp are special.  Campers enjoying nature in the fresh mountain air, making new friends around the campfire, relationship building activities like archery, zip line, rock wall, paddling around the crystal clear waters of Dan Hole and quiet time in Morning Watch all lead to engaging with each other and drawing deeper to God through relationship. 

God doesn’t speak any louder in the outdoors, it is just easier to hear God. The stillness at Sentinel helps us hear God more clearly.  

Our theme this year was “Engage” with 625 campers coming to the grounds.  1 Peter 3:15 shares important teaching: “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” 1 Peter 3:15. Revere Christ. Equip ourselves.  Remember Hope.  Show gentleness. Practice respect for ourselves and others. 

Thank you for standing with us in mission. Your generous mission support helps build relationships and change lives. We believe camp is for everyone, that is why we never turn a child or family away from camp for financial challenges. On Sunday September 25th we will have a special day to come together to raise funds for families in need of scholarships.  For more information please visit www.campsentinel.org/hope

"Harvesting Hope" on Sunday, September 25* here at Camp Sentinel. With an optional Saturday overnight, followed by a full day of programming on Sunday, this unique experience is our way of saying "thanks" for a great summer. Programming includes: silent auction, live music, carnival activities, scavenger hunt, and more (schedule found on website). We invite our partners in ministry to join us for this unique experience as we seek to further enhance and extend the reach of the scholarship fund through donations from the event.

See you soon on the mountaintop,

Executive Director, Camp Sentinel

You can make one big schedule to cover your whole holiday, or you can do a weekly or daily list, if you prefer.
