Looking Ahead to Summer 2007

The 2007 summer camping season is fast approaching. Even now the youth camp directors and the conference program planning committees are working to craft significant Christian camping experiences that will honor God and encourage us all to deeper faith and service as disciples of Jesus Christ. The ministry of Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp means to be an extension of the Church’s ministry. The Camp’s ministry reflects the thousands of hours contributed by hundreds of program volunteers from the Churches who see their participation at Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp as a way of faithfully serving Jesus Christ. They want to be obedient to the Great Commission to “make disciples.” They want to communicate the Gospel of Christ with love and grace. They want to make a difference in the world for Jesus.

We believe that even now God is preparing the young people in your congregation and even their friends and acquaintances to experience His love and hear His call upon their lives in a youth camp session this summer. We trust that God will use the resources of your congregation to help get the word out about the Camp’s opportunities and encourage people (young and old) to seek Him in the various events at Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp.

A Blog for Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp

Welcome to the Wi.Ne.Ma Web Windchime! I want this to be another way for the Winema Christian Camp community to interact with each other. I am very interested in how to enhance the Camp's ministry. We have a number of conversations about the Camp. We hear lots of stories about how God has used the Camp to change lives. Over the years I have been encouraged to see a span of young people grow from 3rd grade First Chance campers to become counselors, teachers, and other servant-leaders in later camping seasons. The significance of our family confernces focusing on churches of the Restoration Movement, on Missions, on Family life, and more is deep and powerful.

What do I want for this Blog . . . Let it be a place to share our thoughts, stories, observations and concerns about the ministry of Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp. It can also be a place to catch up on announcements and get more informed about the Camp's ministry. I would like this also to be a place to record our growing understanding of Christian Camping and God's purpose for this place.

I invite you, if you have a particular concern, question, or issue to contact us at the Camp Office. You can find the contact information through the Camp's website www.winema.org , email to winema@winema.org, or call (503) 392-3362.
