Camp Gideon

A Summer of Fun at Camp Gideon!
This summer Camp Gideon set a record for the number of campers enrolled in the summer camp ministry. Five hundred twenty one (521) campers from more than 35 Friends churches were enrolled in one of the thirteen camping experiences provided this summer. At least thirty-three campers made a first time commitment to Christ with numerous others registering a greater commitment to Christ and His Kingdom.

Joel Harris, Doug Smith and Kierston Rex provided excellent leadership for this year. "We had an absolutely fantastic summer. The Lord moved mightily in the lives of our young people as God continues to raise up a mighty army of committed Christians to face the challenges of this generation," reported Camp Director John Ryser. "As I travel to our churches, I am constantly reminded of the tremendous influence for Christ the camp is having."

In addition, the Camp continues to have steady use through the Fall. If your church is looking to have a retreat in the near future please keep Camp Gideon in mind.
