☀️ A Great Start to Summer at The ARC! ☀️

We've had a fantastic first week of summer preparation at The ARC and are excited to welcome our new summer staff team! Their enthusiasm and servant hearts are already making a difference as we prepare for camp season.

As a place dedicated to Kingdom work, we are ready to welcome campers and pray that each one will grow in their faith and experience the love of Christ.

Thank you to everyone who supports this ministry. We can't wait to see what God has in store this summer! ❤️

What a wonderful start to the 2026 summer season at the ARC!

Today, a group celebrated 6 baptisms in the ARC lake. What a blessing to witness lives publicly proclaiming faith in Jesus Christ and to see God continuing to work through the ministries and groups that gather here.

As we enter this summer with our 2026 theme, Abundant Growth, we are reminded of the incredible ways God grows His Kingdom through camps, retreats, churches, families, and friendships built here at the ARC.
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
— 2 Peter 3:18

We are thankful for the opportunity to partner with so many groups and ministries throughout the year and look forward to all God has in store this summer.
