2023 MISSION Event

The Concordia Challenge
Picture
WHEN? June 25-30, 2023

WHO? Open to GROUP Registration (Church groups, school groups, other groups)
Schedule 1: Students entering grades 9-12 in 2023 and their adult leaders
Schedule 2: Students entering grades 6-8 in 2023 and their adult leaders
​
WHAT & WHY? Set your goals to REVITALIZE Camp Concordia (CC) through construction, service and repair - that will allow mission and ministry to take place with children & youth from across Michigan (and more). Schedule 1 (older youth) servants will train in skills & techniques to take on the challenge of REVITALIZING CC's buildings and program areas to create the best camp ministry for children and youth in Michigan. In 2023, this event will include scraping, sanding and painting, along with the possibility of construction, building repair, roofing, etc. An additional choice for some participants may be serving the Equest Center - a riding facility for handicapped children.

Recreation option, depending on weather, will include a 200' zip line, innertubing on Half-mile Lake and more (CC is working on finalizing a 40 foot climbing tower - possibly ready in 2023).
