Simply Being Together

Connection. Fun. Rest. Renewal. Friends. Family. Faith.

What do these words have in common? They are all part of the amazing experience families have when they attend the Warm Bach Family Campout that happens every July.

Last summer, Warm Beach Camp hosted 60 families for an activity-packed weekend! The long weekend (Thursday – Sunday) was filled with fun activities, recreation, games, arts & crafts, movie night, swimming, and treats from the Snack Shack…fun for all ages! But what makes Family Campout truly special each year is the intentional time set apart for families to connect, have conversations, play games, and laugh together.

In our busy, schedule-filled lives, taking time to put away phones, turn off computers and truly focus on time together as a family is a luxury. And that is exactly what the Family Campout provides. Yes, there are activities, but the highest priority is providing plenty of time to just be together as a family, play games, laugh together, and make connections with other families seeking the same thing. Family-friendly worship services provide time for parents and children together to hear messages of faith, hope, and transformation. Throughout the long weekend, beautiful connections are made.

When we are given the chance to remove all the distractions from our lives, it’s amazing what can happen. Simply being together can make such a difference for families.

This summer, Warm Beach is expanding the Family Campout experience, operating from Wednesday to Sunday. Enjoy 5-days of self-serve recreation activities such as mini-golf, tennis/basketball courts, miles of hiking trails, and disc golf! Bring your own tent or RV to stay in the beautiful campground or enjoy one of the on-site lodging options. There’s something for everyone. Part-time meal options are available for those family members that can’t attend the whole time.

Whether you’re a first-time camper or a seasoned outdoor enthusiast, the Warm Beach Family Campout offers a unique experience immersed in natural beauty. Step away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy plenty of opportunities for your family to learn, play, and grow together. Join us this summer for a 5-day escape and connect with those closest to you!

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.

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, ...
