ALL can participate so ALL kids can attend camp

K2C Benefit Run 2016 Nelsons2 300pxI love the word ALL! God is faithful to ALL generations. At Warm Beach Camp, no child is turned away because of their ability to pay for camp – ALL can attend because of the Kids 2 Camp Scholarship fund. Besides that, ALL can participate to make certain it is possible.

Last year I was at the finish line of the first annual Kids 2 Camp Benefit Run held at Warm Beach Camp, cheering as the runners crossed the finish line. There were runners of ALL ages. Leading the pack was a senior who had been a track star in college.

But what brought joy to my heart was to see the young families complete the 1 mile run/walk, including my own three-year old granddaughter and her nine-month baby sister, who rode along in a stroller.

If you can run or walk, join in the fun on Saturday morning, August 26, 2017 for the second annual Kids 2 Camp Benefit Run to help all children get to camp. There are 1 mile, 5K, and 10K courses. You can register online or get more information at www.kids2camprun.com.

Not up to running or walking? Then join me around 9:30am at the finish line, by the big red and white tent close to the Camp entrance. We’ll all cheer together as the runners complete the course.

All proceeds from the Kids 2 Camp Benefit Run go toward the scholarship fund. Don’t miss out…ALL generations are needed to make certain ALL kids can attend Camp!

PS – After the Benefit Run, you are invited to attend the Kids 2 Camp Auction at Warm Beach Camp, 9:30am-2:00pm. More information at www.kids2campauction.com.

A Summer of Surrender

Leading up to summer, Black Diamond Camp and Warm Beach Camp worked tirelessly to organize, train staff, and carry out the plans set forth earlier in the year. Like all carefully curated plans, pivots and adjustments were inevitably needed. Through that process and long camp days, a theme kept surfacing: surrender, trust, and be amazed. With such a simple yet profound spiritual truth, let's visit some of this summer’s happenings. Encountering God in a Personal Way Camp often serves as ...

Provision for the Humble

“God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.” Matthew 5:5 NLT What comes to the humble is incredible. Reflection I have come to love the word humble. I love it for what it doesn’t mean: Proud, self-seeking, scheming, pushy, demanding, looking out for #1, status focused, and the insistence of being the brightest and best in the room. Honestly, it is exhausting to live and work with people where humility is not present. By contrast, ...
