Junior High Camp
Presence
Grades: Entering 7th-9th
Dean: Jimmy Maupin
Check-in: July 27 @ 6:00pm
Parent Pick-up: Aug. 1 @ 3:00pm
Have you ever sat near a campfire and just felt like everything was exactly as it should be? There is something about a warm fire that helps us to relax and reflect; especially when we are with friends. When we spend time with God and enter into His presence, it can be as relaxing and reflective as a warm fire. Maybe that’s why His presence has been represented by fire many times in the scriptures. This week, junior high students will open their Bibles and learn about Jesus through the element of fire. And by the end of another awesome, fun-filled week of camp, they will understand that God’s warm presence is always with them.

What is your favorite Bible verse?
“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:5-11)
What does camp ministry mean to you?
I believe camp is a pinnacle moment in our faith journey. It was for me, and I've seen it in many lives of kids who go to camp. There is something about getting away from the comfort of daily life, and experiencing God in a whole new way.
What is your favorite camp memory?
Dancing in a skit with the other guys in my family group in high school to N*Sync's "Bye, Bye, Bye". We were THAT cool.
What is your favorite dessert?
Cookies and Cream ice cream. If you add Oreos to anything, it's my favorite.
