About Our 2026 Camp Theme

Walking in the Wilderness invites campers to step into something wild and beautiful, where they discover the sacred within each person and in God’s creation. Throughout scripture and the Christian tradition, people have entered the wilderness when they feel lost or lonely, are seeking God’s wisdom and peace, or are preparing for something new.  Wilderness is both a metaphor and a lived experience for the sacred spaces where God’s presence is revealed in the midst of uncertainty, awe, and discovery. 

God welcomes us in the wilderness – revealing our strengths, growing edges, and potential as God equips us for the unknown still to come. God walks with us, and we walk with each other. Together, we discern God’s guidance and recognize the Spirit’s work empowering us for the challenges and possibilities that lie ahead. The wilderness is waiting! Let’s walk in the wilderness together!
