Summer Camp 2020
I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send?"
...Then I said, "Here am I. Send me." Isaiah 6:8
Sent
God sent Moses to deliver His people from slavery in Egypt. God sent Isaiah to warn His wayward people to turn back to Him. God sent the angel Gabriel to Mary to announce that she would bear a Son -- the Messiah promised of old.
And God sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believes him will have everlasting life.
Now God sends us to proclaim the message of salvation, found in Jesus Christ alone. At Bible studies this summer at Camp Trinity, campers will learn what it means to be sent by God with the Gospel.
New in 2020!

Overcomers Camp July 19-23
Youth ages 8-18
Overcomers Camp is designed for (but not restricted to) youth with disabilities. Campers will enjoy the same camp activities as in other sessions, but modified as needed to accommodate the special needs of campers. Activities includes hiking, swimming, canoeing, fishing and games. The session also includes daily Bible studies and campfires every evening. The camp has a limited number of spaces for parents to join their children. The session may be either overnight or day camp, depending on a camper's needs. Please call the Camp Trinity office to learn if your child's needs can be served at this session.
Family Camp July 24-26 & July 27-29
Because attendance at Family Camp reached capacity in 2019, two sessions of this session are scheduled in 2020, one over a weekend, the other during the week (Monday-Wednesday). Family Camp is open to all families but is designed especially for families with children too young to attend regular sessions of camp. The session provides an opportunity for children to enjoy camp with parents and grandparents participating to provide reassurance and help prevent homesickness. The session offers a sampling of regular camp activities: singing, swimming, hiking, canoeing, large group games, crafts, Bible study and campfires — with s'mores, of course! The activities are geared toward younger children, but entire families, including older siblings, are welcome. The camp has limited cabin availability, but families can also stay in RVs or tents (Camp Trinity can provide the tents) in our campground or offsite at a reduced cost for the weekend.
We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. 1 Thessalonians 1:2
