What Does Summer Camp Mean to You?

“I loved the worship and the community it built”

“I loved being with my friends in the cabin, and all of the fun activities. The worship was one of my favorite parts of camp”

“Camp Renegade provides an opportunity for my children to encounter God in a fun, active, and engaging way! This concentrated time results in life changing spiritual growth in my children’s lives!”

“Camp is one of my family’s favorite parts of the summer. I love that my daughter gets to get away from all of the distractions of the world and focus on Jesus. She loves getting to play, swim, and worship with her friends! I’m so grateful for camp Renegade and the lifelong memories she makes while growing her heart for the Lord. “

“It’s an opportunity to pour into and share the love of Christ with these kids in an immersive setting! To have a few days straight to teach Bible lessons, show them how to have devotional time, share in worship, and have a lot of fun! It’s truly life changing! To see kids, give their lives to Christ and have that opportunity to talk to them and pray with them is such a blessing! Personally, it’s important to me because my kids trusted in Christ at camp!”

“Camp Renegade means to me is learning about God’s word and how firm it is. It helps so many people to let Jesus into their heart and saves so many people and it’s fun that we get to go to cabins, and the water, and make new friends! It’s an amazing opportunity to know God’s love for us.

“Camp renegade means to me is I get to learn about God and make new friends!"
