⛺️ Camped Out or Tuckered Out: Day 3 is a Wrap! 🌲⭐

We can’t believe Day 3 is already winding down! Tonight, our camp is split into two perfectly exhausted groups: some of us are camping out under the stars (right at home in the Asbury Hills woods!), and the other half are completely tuckered out after an epic elementary pool party! 🪵💤

It has truly been the best day ever. We packed today with non-stop adventure:

🧗‍♂️ Conquering the rock wall

🛶 Paddling around the lake in canoes

🥾 Splashing through creek hikes

🍫 Chowing down at a classic camp cookout

We are having the absolute time of our lives and cannot wait to see what Day 4 brings! 🎒✨

Want your child to be part of the adventure this summer? Sessions run through July 31st!

💦 Creek Hikes, Pool Parties, & Chapel Views: Day 2 is a Wrap! 🌲☀️

What an absolutely incredible second day on the mountain! We packed every single minute with adventure, laughter, and community.

Today our campers:

🥾 Splashed through the waters on our iconic creek hikes.

⛰️ Journeyed up to beautiful Mountain Chapel for a peaceful time of reflection and worship.

🏊‍♂️ Cooled off with an epic pool party and so much more!

We are so incredibly happy to be at Asbury Hills, watching these new friendships and faith moments grow. If Day 2 was this good, we can’t wait for the rest of the week! 🎒✨

Work hard, play hard! ⚾️🌮

After two weeks of intensive staff training, our summer crew took a well-deserved break at a Greenville Drive game! We had an absolute blast at Fluor Field, and some of the Asbury Hills crew even got to participate in the legendary water balloon drop. 🎈

A huge shoutout to Cole, Gates, Jace, and Margaret for giving it their all—and a special congrats to Cole, who set a new record by catching 16 balloons! 🏆

We also want to send a massive THANK YOU to St. Paul United Methodist in Greenville for hosting us. The taco dinner and brownie/ice cream bar were the perfect pre-game fuel. We even spotted some of our new Asbury Hills yard signs while we were there!

We are so grateful for the love and support of our local churches as we gear up to serve others this summer and all year long. 🌲✨

Video of the water balloon drop is posted on our story!

We are still buzzing from an incredible staff commissioning and communion service! A massive thank you to Pastor Brian Gilmer from Travelers Rest United Methodist Church for pouring into our team last night.

🏠 A Connection Close to Home

TRUMC is near and dear to our hearts. Not only are several of our summer staffers TRUMC members, but two of our full-time camp team members also serve on the church staff! We are so incredibly thankful for this deep connection with such a loving church family.

📖 For Such a Time as This

To wrap up our teaching for the week, Ann Marie shared the final story of Esther. It was a powerful reminder that God places us exactly where we need to be to make a difference.

🌲 Rooted in Experience

Pastor Brian shared heart-to-heart stories from his own days as a staff counselor right here at Asbury Hills. His encouragement was exactly what the team needed to hear:

Show the love of Jesus in every interaction.

Be fully present with every camper.

Let God work through you.

🪢 The Three-Fold Cord

During our Cord Ceremony, staffers received rope bracelets and anklets to remind them they are part of something bigger than themselves. It was a beautiful symbol of the truth that a cord of three strands with God is not easily broken.

💃 Ending on a High Note

The night ended the best way we know how—with an impromptu dance party! There is so much joy in this community, and we are ready to carry that energy into the summer.

God is already working at Asbury Hills! We can’t wait to see you all soon.
