2024 Homecoming Afternoon Programming

The Homecoming Festival traditionally has a “Mission and Values” -heavy afternoon program from 4-5pm (immediately following the service of ice cream to draw the crowd back to the meeting tent). I’m going to use this thread to work out ideas for the 2024 Program. Goals for this year:

1. Emphasize the theme of believing in Camp and the experiences we create as a sign of the Kingdom of God.
2. Celebrate $20K Matching Gift and emphasize the need to invest in each other and the Camp experience.
3. Honor Ken Bontrager for his 33 years of service to Camp.
4. Announce the $50,000 gift to kick-start Cabin 3 Construction and the take-away message of continuing, completing what you start, and finishing well.
