Churches and schools benefit from Group enrollment in several ways. Here are two:

1. Students coming with church leaders as a group for a week of camp have the enhanced opportunity to bond and experience faith as a community that is very deep and memorable.
2. Students and leaders enrolled as a group return to their schools and churches with a faith strengthening  experience. This is good for children, youth and families as they build their community. 

To help encourage group enrollment, Camp Concordia board of directors has created a discount for 6 or more students enrolled in the same week-long camp with leaders participating through service. You can read about it here.

In 2017 Camp Concordia was surprised by the number of enrollments which came in in December and January. well gang, we are ahead of 2017 at this point. While we have worked to open up additional beds, we definitely see a tend already. Enrollment 2018 is underway!

I just got off the phone with a climbing tower company. Pray that we can use the Camp Concordia resources wisely and that if God would like this as an activity to advance our kids' faiths, then He can make this happen for 2018. Or at least something as cool!!

Campfire Christmas!
Imagine, the first Christmas - for many people of the day - was probably spent around a campfire. And oh, were they blessed. The campfire is ALWAYS a place to receive GOOD NEWS! It is a place of good memories. Some memories may be roasting a marshmallow. Drinking a cup of hot cocoa. The best memories should be those of someone sharing their story of faith, the good news of Jesus in their life. That's a Campfire Christmas. A place of blessing. 

Merry Campfire Christmas to You!
