Juniors Summer Camps
Thousand Pines Ponderosa Junior Camp offers a unique experience for campers grades 4-6. At Ponderosa, we host 80 campers per week, allowing for more personal interactions between campers and staff. Each program week runs from Sunday afternoon to Friday morning and provides a well-rounded experience for church groups and individual campers. The mornings are filled with fun activities like cabin devotions, team games, and low ropes course adventures. After lunch, our campers will have exclusive use of the pool and skate park and enjoy free time activities such as walking up to the Malt Shop at Main Camp, climb up into the tree house and take a ride down the zip line. Our program offers evening chapels where our guest speakers and worship teams challenge campers directly from Scripture. Staff members also share their personal testimonies, ensuring that campers from all backgrounds will be able to relate to someone and find encouragement from their time at camp. So pack up the kids and get them ready for a unique and impactful camp experience.
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!
