Celebrating the People Who Make Camp Possible

At Warm Beach Camp, gratitude isn’t just something we say—it’s something we live. Every season, every camper story, and every moment of transformation is made possible through the faithful support of an incredible community. That’s why The Great Camp Thank You, previously known as Warm Beach Camp Ministries Open House, is such a meaningful tradition. It is our opportunity to pause, gather, and say from the bottom of our hearts: Thank you!

On Sunday, May 17, 2026, Warm Beach Camp will open its gates from 12:00 to 4:00 pm for a special day dedicated entirely to our supporters. This free event—complete with lunch served from 12:00 to 2:00 pm—is our way of honoring the donors, volunteers, prayer warriors, staff, and Partners in Ministry who stand behind the mission of Camp day after day. RSVP is requested so we can prepare to welcome everyone well.

Warm Beach Camp exists today because people choose to invest both emotionally and financially in something bigger than themselves. The support given—whether through generous gifts, tireless volunteering, faithful prayer, or long standing partnerships—has created a place where lives are changed and hope is renewed. The Great Camp Thank You is not a fundraiser or a program showcase; it is simply a heartfelt expression of appreciation for the people who have made Camp what it is today.

During The Great Camp Thank You, supporters are invited to enjoy Camp as honored guests. This is a chance to relax, reconnect, and experience the joy of Warm Beach Camp firsthand. Bring a towel and take a swim in the pool, climb to the top of the tower, or experience the excitement of the zip line. For those who love classic camp fun, mini golf, horseshoes, and many other activities are available throughout the afternoon.

Beyond the activities, the true gift of this day is time together. Staff members look forward to welcoming guests, sharing stories, listening, and celebrating what God has done through the collective efforts of so many faithful supporters. The Great Camp Thank You creates space for laughter, conversation, and reflection—reminders that Warm Beach Camp is not just a facility, but a living ministry sustained by community.

Held at Warm Beach Camp, 20800 Marine Drive in Stanwood, this gathering reflects the Camp’s core value of hospitality. It is a welcoming, come as you are celebration where supporters can walk the grounds they’ve helped sustain, meet new friends, and rediscover the heart of Camp.

Warm Beach Camp wants every supporter to know this truth: your involvement matters. Each prayer whispered, each hour volunteered, and each gift given has rippled outward in ways both seen and unseen. The Great Camp Thank You is a simple but meaningful way for the Camp to say, “We see you. We value you. We are thankful for you.”

If you are part of the Warm Beach Camp family, this day was created for you. Come celebrate, reconnect, and receive the gratitude you so richly deserve.  RSVP Today!

Trust and Deliverance

Here are some words of guidance for times of trouble from a very wise person. IN TIME OF TROUBLE SAY: FIRST- He brought me here-it is by His will I am in this strait place; in that will I rest. NEXT- He will keep me in His love, and give me grace in this trial to behave as His child. THEN- He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons He means me to learn, and working in ...

Ride of a Lifetime

“Don’t you want to retire so you can do all the things you’ve ever dreamed about?” It’s a question that I’ve been asked a lot. My answer, “I have gotten to do way more than I could have ever imagined in my wildest dreams these last 50 years in Christian Camping!” Little did we realize what was ahead when my husband, Stan, was finishing up his last trek of college education. We were lying on a blanket, soaking up the ...

The Barn Changed Me

Before the barn, I felt like I was missing something—like my purpose began and ended with being a mom and a wife. While those roles are sacred, I knew deep down there was more of me waiting to be found. I was searching for myself… learning how to honor my truth, how to listen to my own voice, and how to step into confidence in who I am. Then I found the barn. And slowly, quietly… it began to change ...
