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.
