Gratitude – It’s in our DNA

Warm Beach Camp is overflowing with gratitude for the initiatives and transforming work of our Lord Jesus, and gratitude for our donors and volunteers.

One of the privileges of the board is to hear stories about the work of the Kingdom in people’s lives and to see new initiatives like Special Friends Camps, camps for adults with special needs.  When we watched the video of the first Special Friends Camp, tears of gratitude were flowing.  Like the Psalmist, we gave thanks to the Lord for He is good, and His steadfast love for Special Friends endures forever.

During a recent board meeting, we visited Chinook Village while work was under way. Most of the work was done by volunteers. The generosity and commitment of the volunteers is truly amazing. This December we will celebrate 20 years of The Lights of Christmas. Many volunteers have hung lights, worked on displays, and greeted guests at the front gate by the fire. It’s humbling to think about the hundreds of thousands of people whose lives have been touched by The Lights

Gratitude to the Lord and each other has been in our DNA beginning from the Camp’s founding many decades ago and continuing to today. Thank you to all who support and partner with us! Thank you for making Warm Beach Camp a place of profound life change for thousands of people. As Paul said, we do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in our prayers. With gratitude!

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 ...

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 ...

A Therapeutic Experience

Each summer, Warm Beach Camp has the privilege of welcoming teens and adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities to Camp SunSparrow to attend a week of Day Camp. During this time, they have fun, make friends, and gain new and impactful life skills and experiences. Amidst the busyness of the summer months, one activity that stands out is the thoughtfully coordinated horse encounter, which is brought by Warm Beach Horsemanship team members one afternoon a week. This activity has ...
