Adventurer Families Close Out the Club Year
with Camporee
Over the weekend of June 7-9, nearly 200 Adventurers and their families, representing 20 clubs in the Oregon Conference, arrived at Gladstone Park to set up their camping areas as they prepared for the second annual Adventurer Family Campout. A warm, sunny weekend that would revolve around the theme Strong & Courageous, based on the book of Joshua, was ready to offer learning, inspiration, praise, and special family time.
On Friday evening, families set up their tents and RV’s, grouped together by clubs, and prepared to spend the next couple of days connecting and enjoying some great cook-out meals. The evening’s opening ceremony was sweet and simple, giving time for worship led by the Whipple Creek Adventurer Club and for the weekend’s guest speaker, Andrea Alexander who blessed the audience with both Biblical and personal stories.
