Focus on Faith

CAMP BAYS MOUNTAIN has A LONG LEGACY AND AN IMPORTANT PURPOSE...HELPING CAMPERS GROW IN THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. WE OFFER AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE CHILDREN AND YOUTH CAN FIND OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE AND GROW IN THEIR FAITH. THIS IS DONE DAILY THROUGH MORNING WATCH, PRAYER TIMES, EVENING WORSHIP, AND BIBLE STUDIES. ALSO, EVERY CAMPER IS PART OF A SMALL GROUP OF ABOUT 10 CAMPERS WITH TWO COUNSELORS/MENTORS THAT JOURNEY WITH THEM. THERE ARE ALSO PASTORS AND CHURCH LEADERS EVERY WEEK THAT SERVE AS OUR MINISTERS-IN-RESIDENCE, OR 'MIRS.'

5-D Context

Camp Bays Mountain's 5-D Context for Establishing the new site:

• DEFINE- "Does this make sense?"
