Hello whatabloggers! Kids, we feel what you’re feeling. The stress of waking up each morning to go to camp, and when you finally get there…. it’s NOT what you expected. If it was rough goings for this summer look no further for the best camps you can attend next summer!
1#The Coast
Camp type: Church camp
This camp is the best camp I know! (The Coast is for 1-12 grade, its part of a program called the word of life. They do other camps like the Coast; you can look into their other camps to!) This is a one-week camp where you get to learn more about Jesus and God! This really helped me in my spiritual journey, and I had fun while doing it! If you don’t know much about God or the Bible, you can start to understand more about him here. You can also learn how he desires to have a personal relationship with you! John 3:16 says, “For God so love the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” This verse reminds me that God wants the best for me. He gave Jesus, his only son, out of his love for us. Jesus came to take away our sin and save us. The coast was a life changer for me! If you are concerned about registration as an individual or a group, check their website below!
