Greetings from 84 campers and 70 staff at Camp Arrowhead in Dalton, Ohio! Camp is off to a great start with activities running smoothly and God’s blessing obvious and abundant.

We’ve just concluded day one of camp and are about to head to the dining hall for dinner. All has gone well so far. Thankfully, the weather this week is predicted to be a bit cooler—if you can call the mid-90s cooler!—than what we experienced in East Texas last week (100s Fahrenheit).
We kicked off...

Greetings from Camp Long!
We are off to a great start at Camp Long in southern South Carolina. This year we have 34 campers and 29 staff, and even though our numbers may be lower than we are used to, the smaller numbers make for a closer, more intimate camp.

I am grateful to share with you news of a wonderful start to 2026 Camp Harmony!
Over a week ago, a 70 to 90 percent chance of rain was forecast for this week. With the prayers of many, the forecast of rain dropped to 5 percent.

The temperatures are not going to be above freezing this whole camp. One camper from the South made the comment that he had never seen so much snow.
Prayers would be appreciated for a successful camp.

We are currently working on a weeklong Young Adult Challenger Camp in the Red River Gorge in Kentucky. The camp will take place from May 31 to June 7, 2026....
