The Auction is Moving!

I don’t know about you, but I have missed being together for the annual auction. If you have joined us in the past, you will remember the fun of quietly (or not so quietly) outbidding someone for a certain item, or the friendly competition for a delicious-looking cake or pie. 

Over the last two years, as we navigated the pandemic, we have been grateful for the opportunity to move the auction online. We found new opportunities and a way to still make it possible for kids to come to Camp.  

But it’s time to gather again! 

We are so excited to announce the Kids 2 Camp Benefit Auction will be in person this year AND will coincide with Family Camp! 

In 2022 we are planning a one-day, in-person event on Saturday, July 30, 11:00am – 4:00pm. Everyone is invited to participate in the Family Fun Day activities as well as to enjoy the silent auction, vie for raffle items large and small, and just generally have a good time. The day will culminate in a return to an in-person Live Auction. 

This year will have a new look and feel, but the goal is the same – to gather together, have a great time, and make it possible for kids and families to come to Camp through our generosity. 

Watch for more details. I hope you will come!

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. Like all carefully curated plans, pivots and adjustments were inevitably needed. Through that process and long camp days, a theme kept surfacing: surrender, trust, and be amazed. 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, ...
