Our office just received news from our Loch Leven Camp and Conference Center manager regarding the “Green Fire” burning nearby its property line. Please keep in prayers all of the families and creatures that call this sacred place home.

We are grateful for the directors, counselors, musicians and keynoters who volunteered their time to put on three impactful and memorable weeks of camp "In the Wilderness" at Loch Leven Camp & Retreat Center. We also celebrate our partnership with Christian Church in Arizona and the blessing it is to work together for the youth in our regions!
