Hume Lake Summer Camp! A Note from Our Pastor

We’re headed to Hume Lake this summer! This year, your student will have an incredibly fun time—launching off the blob or dominating in Kajabe Kan Kan—and be challenged to take a stand for God in an ungodly culture. Hume offers a clear gospel message, dynamic worship, and a variety of recreational activities: high adventure course, kayaking, paintball, and zip line to name a few!

We live in the midst of a world that is not the way God intended it to be. The prophet Elijah also experienced ungodliness happening all around him yet chose to trust and obey the Lord's commands by taking a stand and proclaiming God's truth. This summer, Hume will take a look at the life of Elijah and challenge students to proclaim God’s truth in an ungodly culture.

Summer Camp will cause your student to grow closer in their relationship with God by developing a deeper understanding of His Word and being challenged to take a stand for Christ amidst an ungodly culture. Not to mention, get away from everyday distractions, gain meaningful friendships, engage in high-energy recreation, and make priceless memories.
 
Join us this summer for an unforgettable camp experience at Hume Lake from August 14-20th, 2016. Cost is $600/student (payment plan and scholarships available upon request). Click here to register online today! All students grades 7-12 are invited! We'll be staying at Meadow Ranch, Ponderosa, and Wildwood. $100 deposit (non-refundable) due by Sunday, June 5th.

Thanks for your partnership,

Austin Axen Student Ministries Pastor
