Left Behind
Perhaps you don’t know anyone who would like to go to a summer camp. But we do. Even though we try to keep our costs as low as possible, there are many children and teens who can't afford to go. But many do go--because of the generosity of folks who make a donation to help. Would you consider being one of them, by making a donation to one or more of our camps? To donate to a specific camp, see the camp's website for a mailing address. |

Generations Ministries Email: Ted.Johnston@gci.org |
inter won’t last forever. Neither will youth. But happy memories do. Soon it will be summer. So prepare now to give someone you love an experience of a lifetime.
Generations Ministries camps are safe places of great fun and spiritual enrichment for teens and children. The camps provide a wide array of activities in locations of outstanding natural beauty. All are staffed by committed Christian adults and older teens trained and supervised in accordance with Generations Camp Ministries’ high standards.
This year the theme is “Cross My Heart.” In chapels, classes, prayer walks and recreational activities, campers and staff members will consider the condition of the human heart apart from God. Then they will learn what it means to share the heart of Jesus—the one who died on the cross and now lives for us and loves us. Together they will experience Jesus’ life of service and joy-filled love.
We have expanded the scope of some Generations Camps to serve adults and whole families. For example, our mission camp, Crossing Borders, offers short-term international mission training for older teens and adults who attend as singles, married couples and family groups. At some camps we are planning on offering seminars for visiting parents.
So why not send your children, grandchildren or young friends to one of our camps. See below for details of each camp.
