Prayer — especially “vertical prayer” for specific God-revealed mission set apart from the concerns of our life and ministry — is a major theme for Camp in 2026. Maybe you read about this in the Winter Newsletter article “Time to Pray“? We want to extend the invitation to the entire Camp community and beyond — to our guests, campers, volunteers, alumni, and staff and to all connected churches who retreat here, serve here, and support here — Let’s pray for God to reveal his mission for each of us and for us together.

Winter: Life Under the Surface
