It’s been a couple weeks, but I am finally getting around to posting an update about our 2023 teen retreat at Mount Zion Baptist Camp. And an amazing retreat it was!
Other than our first retreat in 2020, this retreat had the most first-time campers, including this group brought by Pastor Oton from the Videira church.One of the greatest blessings of the week was the presence of our speaker and his wife, Rob and Becky Ingmire, from Blairsville, PA.Pastor Ingmire bringing the Word, while I interpret. The chosen subjects: depression, anxiety and solitude, spoke directly to many of the young people present.Our services…and indeed the entire program…were led by a very capable group of young people.Happy campers are the best campers.Activities ranged from the conventional……to the decidedly UNconventional.
One of the highlights of the week was the inauguration of our new water slide, which proved to be a huge success. Take a look!
For the first time at one of our teen retreats we put together a team of counselors. They all stepped up and did an outstanding job.The success of the week can be seen by the fact that, when it was all said and done and everybody had gone home, many of the campers wanted to spend some final moments with our speaker and his wife.
But pictures can’t do complete justice to how great the retreat really was. So here’s a video. Enjoy!

Our work at camp has been dominated by the construction of the dormitories. Since our last report progress has been made, although much slower than I would have liked. We are working hard to get them livable by the beginning of September, when the first of three events takes place. Here are some pictures showing…

Last month the Mount Zion Baptist Camp held it’s third annual Teen Retreat, and it was awesome. With each passing year we gain more experience, the program gets better, and enthusiasm for the ministry among our churches and young people grows. This year our theme was “Challenges for Young People in Post Modernity”. We were…
This weekend we spent some time at camp, overseeing progress on the ongoing projects. For several months we have been trying to figure out what to do about our swimming area. After several false starts we have found a contractor who has done this kind of work before, and who has given us a price…
