Refreshment and renewal for foster and adoptive families

The vision for Refreshed Family Camp is clear: Give every foster and adoptive family a “win” together.

Refreshed Family Camp is an experience where the love of Jesus is clear. Connect with God around the campfire or through a conversation with a friend. See God’s care in the epic sunsets overlooking Port Susan Bay. Learn about God’s heart through experiential-based teaching.

Play hard at camp. Swim, zip line, canoe, shoot arrows, compete in field games, or just take a hike on the miles of trails. There’s no shortage of activities to do. Bring your bike and ride to your heart’s content on the 278 acres of God’s creation at Warm Beach Camp and Conference Center.

Rest among friends. Every family at Refreshed Family Camp understands the uniqueness of foster and adoptive family dynamics. Find time to just kick back in a community of people who “get it.” We are all in this together! There is something incredibly encouraging by being with people who understand.

This summer’s theme is “Unshakeable Kingdom.” Allen Denver, Carrie Blaske, and I will be sharing from our own journey about the amazing things God is teaching us. We are all foster and adoptive parents who understand renewed hope under God, who is unshakable. We are excited to share with you!

If you are a foster or adoptive family, join us for Refreshed Family Camp, July 28-31, 2019.

As we pray and prepare, we are making the following promises to you:

  1. Jesus is being lifted up as Lord and Savior.
  2. Families will have opportunities to experience a “win” together.
  3. Recreation, rest, and renewal will be available to everyone.

We can’t wait to see you this year!

Being the Presence of Christ

“Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart. Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will reward each one of us for the good we do, whether we are slaves or ...

A Year of Growth, Grit, and Grace

As we look back on this past year of 2025, we’re filled with gratitude for the incredible transformation we’ve witnessed—within our staff, our students, our horses, and our community. This has been a year marked by intentional growth, renewed purpose, and a deepening commitment to the mission that drives our horse program. At the heart of our program is a mission: to provide transformational experiences of the love and truth of God through horses, riding, and horse related activities. This ...

Living Water

Where there is good water, life is abundant. Jesus Christ describes himself as the source of living water that satisfies and fulfills life in ways nothing else can. Living Waters beautifully describes what God is providing and doing through Warm Beach Camp Ministries. Coming to one of our three Camps is coming to an experience where the living waters of Christ are shared freely with everyone. This is where the Holy Spirit draws people to the love of the Father ...
