When a person is enthusiastic, interested, and searching for answers, he is at the pinnacle of his teaching moments. We firmly believe, and many educators agree, that these rare moments can be readily achieved during camping experiences.
In the scriptures, we find that when Jesus wanted to impart great truths to his cabin group (The Twelve Disciples), He would always take them aside. Usually, He would take them into a garden, up a mountain, or on a boat ride across the Sea of Galilee. The Old Testament tells how God told Moses to instruct the Children of Israel to hold a feast, known as the “Feast of Booths,” once a year. This feast was to be a meaningful time of remembering their past, worshipping God, and learning the Scripture.
It is our aim at South Mountain Christian Camp to fully utilize this effective, Bible-centered ministry to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Through well-planned programming, teaching, sharing in fellowship, and healthy physical activities, we hope to help campers respond in faith to the call of God on their lives and then nurture their faith and fellowship in Christ Jesus so that they may mature into responsible citizens of God’s Kingdom.
