Lone Star Camp Anchors Youth in Jesus

ATHENS, TEX. – Lone Star Camp welcomed 83 campers on June 15. Our theme this year was “Anchored in Jesus,” and everything we did was designed to help campers build a stronger connection with Christ.

Kids enjoyed a week packed with exciting activities. From horseback riding through the woods to climbing the rock wall, cooling off at the splash pad or hitting the lake for jet skiing and canoeing, there was never a dull moment. Campers also got creative with crafts and baking classes and even tried their hand at archery.

Mornings began with worship messages from volunteer lay pastor James Brown and Youth and Young Adult Ministries Director Wesley McNorton. Each evening, Daniel Charles, pastor of the Emmanuel Seventh-day Adventist Church in Marshall, Tex., brought it home with messages of hope and faith that challenged and inspired. Every worship moment reminded us what it means to be anchored in Jesus.

One camper, Amazing Grace Manning, summed it up perfectly: “The vibes and energy of my cabin crew, swimming in the lake and the food—it’s all been so good!”

Lone Star Camp continues to be a place where young people grow in faith and leave knowing their anchor is secure in Jesus.
