What an amazing summer it has been for each of the Susquehanna Conference Camp & Retreat Ministry sites. God’s spirit has been consistent at each site through Bible study, hikes, water games, swimming, tubing, singing, worship, canoeing, and much more. Friendships have been made. New skills have been learned. Risks have been taken in these safe environments to try new things. What an amazing God we serve!This summer campers were encouraged to “Get Real, Finding Your True Self in Jesus!” They learned who Jesus is and what he means to each camper. They saw how Jesus is our friend, a great teacher, a healer, how he offers forgiveness, and how he calls us to join him in his ministry everyday of our lives.
