CELEBRATE LIFE | Camp Celebrate

In your child's three years at Camp Celebrate we do a content rotation of Discipleship, Mary, and the Eucharist. This year we’ll be diving into the Eucharist and discovering how we can be fully consumed by Christ’s love and presence. Together, we’ll learn to prioritize our relationship with Him above the distractions of this world that constantly consume our day to day lives, allowing God’s transformative grace and mercy to fill our hearts. We'll be focusing on how we consume and can be consumed by Jesus through the Eucharist and His body & blood during the Mass. Our goal is campers are able to be in pure wonder & awe of a good and loving God who can be physically present with us in our lives through the sacraments. Stay tuned for a week of crazy fun, adventure, worship, and pure wonder as we allow ourselves to be Consumed by Christ!

When you camper gets home here are some discussion questions you can ask to keep the conversation going! And hey, we know it sounds intimidating if this isn't your normal "cup of conversation tea", and can even be uncomfortable for you if you don't feel like you "know enough" (ps- all those lies are the devil trying to take something good away!), but we've personally witnessed and seen how God uses a camper's faith and experiences to transform a family, soften a heart, and bring God's love home through a simple, beautiful, and necessary childlike faith. All of that to say, give it a try- you have nothing to lose!
