Camp Summit || Middle School camp“The higher we go, the better we shall hear the voice of Christ.”- Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati
Before anyone climbs a mountain there are a variety of preparation steps that must take place. Climbers need to physically train, study the mountain, ask local guides for their input, and make sure to have all the right gear. Without doing those necessary steps, the journey would be arduous and the climber would become discouraged and not attempt the trek. The same can be said about our spiritual lives. If we don’t train, study, seek out mentorship, and equip ourselves with the right tools, it can be easy to give in to discouragement and abandon the ascent.
The theme for this year is called “To the Heights”, which is the translation of Verso L’alto, a motto of Bl. Pier. It is our hope to inspire all the youth who attend to live a life that pushes the limits of human experience; to encourage them to keep climbing, striving, hoping, and believing.
Camp Summit is for all youth entering grades 7, 8, & 9 who have a desire to deepen their relationship with Jesus and to share it with others they encounter. Throughout camp, youth will engage in prayer, worship, fellowship, leadership formation, play, and fun. This five-day experience is designed to encourage and equip the youth for discipleship to their family, friends, and communities.Location: Red Willow Bible Camp
