As we prepare to welcome our second week of campers, we invite you to pause and pray with us. 💛 Join us in lifting up this season—again and again—as often as you can throughout the summer.

Faithful God,
Thank you for your steadfast love, new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
With grateful hearts, we stand at the threshold of a new season,
trusting that you have brought us to this sacred moment
and will guide us in every step of the adventure ahead.
May this land be a place of welcome, courage, and joy—
where all can live authentically, explore faith,
build community, and step into holy adventure together.
Hold the campers and staff in your loving embrace.
We trust you with this season,
confident your Spirit is at work—
awakening faith and leading us forward together.
Amen.

As we prepare to welcome campers this week, we took a moment to pause and give thanks under the moonlit sky at camp tonight. 🌕✨

“When I look up at your skies, at what your fingers made— the moon and the stars that you set firmly in place— what are human beings that you think about them; what are human beings that you pay attention to them?”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭8‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭CEB‬‬

Wildlife Wednesday 🎣

Our summer staff have enjoyed some downtime interacting with the wildlife in the lake! We have a few varieties of fish that call Wesley Lake “home”. The fish co-habitate with snails, turtles, geese, and lots of microorganisms that all work together for a healthy ecosystem - a reminder for us that every member of the system matters, has value, and impacts the whole. ❤️

Today we had our inspections and received our food operator license and our permit to operate as a residential camp! Because we’ve done so many renovations and we were closed for a few years, we had to re-apply for all licenses and get approval from the health department to operate. This envelope reflects years of prayers, faith, work, and love.

This is a big step and a big win.
Tonight we are celebrating God’s faithfulness ❤️

🌿 Wildlife Wednesday 🌿

At first glance, this may look like just a patch of tree bark—but take a closer look 👀. Every ridge, crack, and flaky layer is part of a living world beneath your fingertips.

This rugged bark isn’t just protection for the tree—it’s also home to tiny insects, fungi, and other hidden wildlife. It provides shelter, food, and camouflage in ways we don’t always notice.

Nature doesn’t have to be big and bold to be beautiful. Sometimes, the most fascinating wildlife habitats are right in front of us—we just have to slow down and see them. 🌳

✨ What details do you notice in this natural texture?
