It’s bonfire season and we’re missing our summer nights beneath the willow tree! 🔥🍫

We’ve eaten a lot of smores and sang a lot of songs around the campfire together - we have to know: what’s your favorite campfire song? 👀

In case you missed it, there's a new episode of the Beyond Hiawatha out now with two couples from HYC’s longstanding leadership team! 🎧

With many years of combined service and countless summers spent at camp, it was an awesome conversation about what these four do along with bringing the 2026 camp season to life and all of the blessings that ensued.

This summer, we stepped into a new chapter in Allegan, and God reminded us that He is still faithful.

During our first Tuesday evening service of Teen Week One, something happened that had never happened in Hiawatha history at Hiawatha (that we can recall): every single camper went forward for prayer. In a new place, God met our campers in a familiar way — drawing hearts closer to Him and reminding us that the ministry of Hiawatha has always been about Jesus above all else.

We’re so thankful for those who helped make this evenings at camp like this possible, and for God’s continued work through HYC.
