Welcome to the 2007 Camping Season!

On The Way...

Can you hear it? The wind rustling though the trees The water lapping on the shore or   gurgling in the stream The crackling of the camp fire The sparrows chirping as the black birds invade their space
	Can you smell it? Freshly mown grass The scent of pine trees The fragrance of the lilacs and other summer flowers New-fallen rain The smell of water in the creek and lake
Can you see it? The brilliant orange colors of the rising sun The tiny seed on the dandelion The changing hues of the colors of rocks as the sun moves across the sky
	Can you feel it? The love and acceptance of friends, old and new The presence of God God’s love for you as God’s own special, unique child The miracle of God’s creation

We’re all “on the Way, a Journey to Discipleship” together. Please take a look at the awesome camping opportunities you’ll find listed in this book. Whether you are five or 95, the Dakotas Conference has a camp for you. Whether you want to stay close to home, travel to a different state or try an off-site camp, the Dakotas Conference has a camp for you. Whether you are a first time camper or have been to camp more times than you can count, the Dakotas Conference has a camp for you. Whether you want to play in the water, hike the Hills, learn a new skill, be challenged or sit back and relax, the Dakotas Conference has a camp for you.

The Dakotas Conference Camping Ministry provides “places apart where all people can experience God’s grace and love and grow in discipleship.” Come, join others “On the Way, a Journey to Discipleship” at camp this summer and be ready to be surprised by how God is calling you and what God has planned for you.
