CCCA Sectional Conference

Eight of our staff members attended the Christian Camp and Conference Association's sectional conference at beautiful Big Bear's Pine Summit this March 19th- 23rd. Camping leaders from all over Southern California gathered for a time of renewal and reflection within a community of Christian fellowship. It offered seminars on everything from facilities and food service to leadership and spiritual formation in which we could share ideas, gather new information and bolster enthusiasm. They fed us very well, and there was always a willing ping-pong opponent available. One of the most exciting aspects of the conference was being in the general sessions among people who have been called to the camping ministry. Worshipping alongside so many others who have left their "regular jobs" to serve God through serving others was a blessing and encouragement.
