Summer Camp!

Would you help us send our children and youth to camp this summer?

Five Mile Church of the Nazarene has more than twenty children and youth – from grade school through high school – who would like to attend one of our Nazarene Summer camps at Trinity Pines this summer.

Nazarene summer camps offer children and youth unique opportunities to grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially in a safe and supportive environment. Camps provide dedicated time away from everyday distractions where young people can deepen their relationship with God through Bible study, worship, and prayer in natural settings that showcase God's creation.

The community atmosphere fosters lasting friendships built on shared values and experiences, while diverse activities develop confidence, leadership skills, and character. Under the guidance of positive Christian role models, campers often experience transformative moments of faith that they carry with them throughout their lives, creating a foundation for continued spiritual growth and community engagement.

Many of our Five Mile campers come from low-income households where the price of camps (especially for multiple campers) is challenging.

As a church, we try to do what we can to help these campers.

Today, I'd like to ask for your help raising the funds we need.

Below you'll find a selection of my books and photographic artwork. Between now and May 31, all profits from the sale of these items will be given to our Five Mile Church of the Nazarene campers! Not only that, but I'll also donate personally a portion of my expenses, making it an even better opportunity to make a difference.

Goal: $1000
