Campers experienced friendship and faith at Southwest Region Conference's summer camp.

More than 100 campers ages 7–15 attended Southwest Region Conference's 2026 summer camp, where 18 chose baptism during the closing Sabbath service.

Each day, campers enjoyed activities including archery, swimming, baking, arts and crafts, and jet skis. Each evening, Camp Pastor Daniel Charles and Worship Coordinator Alyse “Joy” Williams led campers in songs and sermons.

The final day of camp was a special Sabbath, during which parents joined their children for worship and watched them be baptized.
