Camp programs help campers discover who they are

The 2014 summer camp curriculum at both N-Sid-Sen in the eastern shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho and Pilgrim Firs at Port Orchard, Wash., has the theme, “Get Real: Finding Your True Self in Jesus.”

Mark Boyd, managing director at N-Sid-Sen, said the curriculum fits needs of today’s young people and families.

“In today’s overwhelming culture of phony and misleading profiles, images and reality shows, we offer a place for youth to discover who and whose they are,” he said. 

He quotes from the curriculum published by Chalice Press:  “We are created in the image of God, who loves us just as we are and asks us to love others in the same way.”

“At both N-Sid-Sen and Pilgrim Firs we will provide opportunities for folks from second grade through adults to experience the Real Jesus as we play, learn and worship together,” Mark said.  “We will do that by sharing stories, hiking, singing, dancing, swimming, and of course eating amazing food.

"So come to camp!” Mark said.
