💛 Closing Blessing
Until We Gather Again
We made it.
Another Camp Caravan summer.
Another season of gathering around love.
The bins are packed one last time.
The songs still echo.
The sidewalk chalk has washed away.
The name tags have been tucked into memory.
Yet somehow…
Camp remains.
Loving God,
Thank you.
For every child who discovered they belonged.
For every leader who found strength they didn’t know they had.
For every volunteer, host church, family, supporter, and friend who helped make this ministry possible.
Thank you for sunshine.
Thank you for rainy-day puddles.
Thank you for laughter that made our bellies hurt.
Thank you for tears that reminded us love is always worth it.
May the seeds planted this summer continue to grow—
in courage,
in kindness,
in faith,
and in joy.
As we return to school, churches, homes, and everyday routines,
help us carry camp with us.
May we continue to invite.
To include.
To create belonging.
To share generously.
To celebrate often.
Until we gather around your love again next summer,
keep us in your care.
And may we always remember:
The best part of Camp Caravan has never been the games we played or the crafts we made.
It has always been the people we gathered with…
and the love at the center of it all.
Amen. 💛
With grateful hearts, we give thanks for an incredible summer of faith, fun, friendship, sunshine, rainy-day puddles, and more than a little holy mischief. The bins may be packed and the Caravan parked for now, but the stories, friendships, and love we gathered along the way travel with us.
Until we gather again—thank you for being part of Camp Caravan 2026. We can’t wait to see where the road takes us next summer! 🌈💛
