Tony sat with his cabin, listening intently. His counselor paced back and forth on the amphitheater stage, preaching salvation. “Becoming a Christian isn’t about saying magic words or getting your act together for Jesus,” he announced. “It’s about asking Him to save you from your sins.” Something dawned on Tony. Was that really all there was to it? He had tried being good before, but according to his counselor, saintly living wouldn’t save anyone. His counselor spoke again. “Jesus accepts ...

Susan Chin was screaming twenty-five feet off the ground. Below, the ropes course supervisor reminded her, “Sue, don’t worry! You’re safety line will hold you.” Susan looked at the cable and ropes stretched out into the air in front of her. She stepped out, her weight dancing on the tight cable. Susan wobbled precariously, put out her other foot and slipped off the line! “Oh!” she gasped. She hadn’t moved! Her feet dangled in the air, but her harness held ...

It’s a cold Saturday in February and the rain is bone chilling. Yet, there is a group of high school age young people wearing yellow rain coats working on one of the Camp’s roads. They are busy shoveling dirt off a truck and into the pot holes that riddle the dirt roads on the grounds. Most high school kids would probably choose a different way to spend a cold, wet Saturday, but these high schoolers are not just any young ...

I tried to bring out a conversation about God from the one currently focused on space travel, expecting the campers to not be able to contribute much.  Instantly, the little girl picked up and almost with unstoppable exuberance began to explain her love for Jesus and how that this was the greatest thing in the world to her. I learned that God can grasp a hold on the smallest child without any help from humans. She didn’t have anyone talking ...

“We has such a great time today bringing our Eagle Ministries junior high kids home from camp!  The love and caring they received at camp was outstanding! They made some great bonds with their counselors and some potentially life changing decisions were made.  Continue to pray for them as they return to some difficult home situations.”

“Thank you for being such a great example for our son. Through your words and caring, you helped him accept Jesus into his heart.. Our family went back to church on Sunday after five years because of Jake. We just wanted you to know what a difference you and Warm Beach Camp made on one boy’s life and family. We can’t thank you enough! God bless you.”

“Thank you, so much, for giving me the scholarship. This camp helped me get so much closer to Jesus Christ. I had so much fun and I really think you should be proud of yourself.  P.S. I became a true Christian.”

All of your children come from low income families, with many just struggling to put food on the table. Thank you for making this summer one that these children will never forget.

“It’s difficult to say how long I’ve been volunteering at The Lights of Christmas. It’s been so long I don’t remember,” said volunteer George Colby. After giving it some thought, George figures he has been bringing groups to volunteer at The Lights for more than ten years. This year, he came with three different groups, the Boy Scouts, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), and the Camano Chapel youth group. Volunteer groups make up about a third of the total ...

Bo could identify. As a youth, he had come to Warm Beach Camp and had a broken a few rules. As a 13-year-old at W-BAR-B, he had actually punched a fellow camper in the face. Though they provided for the family, Bo's parents partied heavily on the weekends. “One night when I was a child, my dad told my mom and me that he would kill her is she ever left him. She actually believed him, so she took me ...

I am watching all of this delight going on and a woman about my age with special needs came to me and said, “I need the Big Book of God.” I responded, “You need the Big Book of God.” She said, “Yes, let’s go get the Big Book of God.” I was thinking, “I don’t know what she is talking about.” So I said, “Well, I don’t think we should go find it together. You stay here and I’ll go ...

Brittney Lundberg, Special Friends I will never forget the cross carry that we all did [at Special Friends Camp]. Praying over the cross and seeing all of the people who have special needs thank us counselors over and over again brought tears to my eyes. It was so cool to see them have fun in the same way as kids without disabilities. Special Friends Camp has changed everyone in some way.
