Nothing has prepared me for the “nexts” in life like camp. One summer camp week of intentional and meaningful community will have challenges, laughter, truth, friendships, and celebrations. And during that short time of set-apart living, clarity and balance can appear more attainable in everyday life.
“As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them…” Matthew 20:17
I love this picture of Jesus intentionally being alone with his disciples, in the middle of their journey, in order to prepare them for what is next. What Jesus said after he pulled his followers aside was difficult and wonderful. He told them the good news of his crucifixion and resurrection, a truth they were not ready to hear or accept. But Jesus sought them out, spoke with them, and then let time and truth do its work.

Similar to the disciples, we are all on a journey. This stretch in time has been particularly challenging. What a perfect time for our young men and women to pull aside, sit in the presence of Jesus, and hear about the hope that is to come. This is why at Camp Lurecrest we believe a week can change a life. |
God Bless,
Dan Bragdon, Camp Director
