Summer Camp
How would you like to decorate your cabin in an Under-the-Sea theme? Dress up in your craziest 80’s outfit with 300 of your closest friends? Chant- “Who rocks the house?” until you’re blue in the face? If so, you’ve found the right place!
Thousand Pines summer camp hosts hundreds of junior high and high school students each week for 8 weeks out of the summer. Each program week runs from Sunday afternoon to Friday morning and provides a well-rounded experience for church groups and individual campers. Our program offers morning and evening chapels where our guest speakers and worship teams encourage and challenge campers directly from Scripture. Campers are then given the opportunity to dig deeper into the message through group devotions and scripture memorization.
After chapel and devotions, the fun continues with the Recreation Championship Competition. Teams compete for the title of Recreation Champion as they earn points through scripture memorization, cabin clean up and decorating, team games and pool competition. One of the week’s most highly anticipated events within team competition is our infamous Mega-Mega Day. On this day, staff, campers and counselors can be seen wearing their craziest outfits to compete in the biggest, most intense game of the week.
During our afternoon and evening free time, campers can keep the intensity up with activities like Paintball, the Zip Line or the Skate Park. Or they can enjoy the chill atmosphere of our Arte Shoppe, Malt Shop and Big Oak Café. Evenings offer unique summer activities like Open-Mic Night, complete with campfire and s’mores, and guided Night Hikes with your cabin.
So- gear up and get going to TP this summer!
Theme Info
Ahoy! Watch yer step matey…as ye walk the plank! In Matthew, chapters 5 through 7, we see the largest continuous passage, in the entire Bible, of Jesus’ teaching. Here we get the foundation of what it means to follow Christ, and to live this life the way He calls us to. How should we treat each other? What does God consider the most important things for us to live for? How do we know when we’ve really crossed the line and sinned? How does God want us to practice our religion or act out our faith? And how do we discern what is or is not truth? Jesus answers these questions and more in his famous “Sermon on the Mount.” By way of deduction, if the Bible is a filter by which we can better understand life in general, than the life of Jesus and the New Testament are a filter by which we can better understand the whole account of the Bible. Following that same thinking then, the Sermon on the Mount is likely a filter by which we can use to help better understand the New Testament and much of the rest of what else Jesus teaches. In other words…by taking a closer look at these passages and some of Jesus’ core teachings here, we have a greater understanding of what it really means to be a Christian.
In Matthew 6:19-21, Jesus says, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (NIV) This pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it? Whatever we value the most, will define what our desires, actions, and even our ultimate outcomes.
In short, you might say that we will eventually become what we set our hearts toward. With this core idea in mind, we’ll be exploring Jesus’ teaching in greater detail this summer. And it’s with this mission in mind…to set our hearts on heavenly treasure… we’ll be further exploring the core teachings of our God and Savior, Jesus the Christ.
So get ready mateys, as we set sail for the high seas this summer! We’ll be serchin’ for what some might consider “Fools Gold,” but we know is the greatest of all treasures. Come to Thousand Pines Summer Camp to join this grand adventure in 2012. We’ll be on the hunt for “Pyrite”…the quest for Long Beard’s Treasure!
