Summer 2011 Verse Theme


  Game On

James 1:22 “But prove yourselves doers of the word, not just   hearers.”

As an athlete and former coach,  I am so excited for this year's theme because we are an athletic camp and our theme plays so well into our heartbeat of teaching kids the gospel through the platform of athletics and adventure. .God is a planner, a strategish. He is super organized and he definitely sets the pace. I challenge you to gear up for the biggest game of your life this summer! Strap on your shoes, throw on some knee pads or sliding shorts and start practicing for being the GAME CHANGING STARTER this summer! No matter what position God has called you to serve in this summer, YOU can make a difference.
One of my all-time favorite coaches I heard speak was the late, great John Wooden. He said, "You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you." There's another old epitaph that says, "What we do for ourselves alone dies with us; what we do for others is timeless. What I gave, I have; what I spent, I had; what i kept, I lost." 
This summer YOU will be part of something BIGGER than yourself, part of a community of life-changers who are driven to make Jesus famous! You will have the chance to be a hero to some kid in kamp! We can't wait to run this race with YOU:)
