The camp is a chance for everyone to deepen their relationship to God. The talks allow for several subjects to be looked at more closely and lead to enriching discussions between the participants and the speakers.

The spacious art and crafts room saw much activity with everyone contributing to the big puzzle taking shape over the entire two weeks.
