We would like to thank our friends at the Cambridge and North Dumfries Community Foundation for financially supporting the purchase of three-wheeled bicycles for our special needs programs. Thank you!!! We already have 15 two-wheeled bicycles that we use in our Spec Trek and Spec Sports programs but some of our campers who have special needs have trouble riding the two-wheeled bicycles. The addition of these three-wheeled bicycles will open the opportunity to enjoy bike rides to as many campers as possible. We can't wait until the best summer ever next year! ... See more

This year's fair will be completely digital and offer an online auction, kid's games and camp swag for purchase. More details to come. We can't wait to see you online on September 14-19, 2020. ...

Today is the day of prayer for camp. Due to COVID-19 prayers may sound a little bit different than they did other years but camps need it just as much. Please pray for the year-around staff as many are facing layoffs and others are just trying to navigate these crazy times. Please pray for the long-term health of camps and their ministries to remain strong for many more years to come. Pray for campers and parents and the summer staff as their plans have been turned upside-down. Ultimately pray that God will continue to be gloried in this situation and in everything that we do! ...
