What if you gave each other the gift of a weekend together?

The Grandparent Grandchild Retreat is a chance to step away from the busy stuff and spend some intentional time together...playing camp games, exploring creation, worshiping, learning, and laughing along the way.

October 24–25 at Shores of St. Andrew!

Bring your grandparent.
Bring your grandchild.
Come make some memories.

📞 WE HAVE A STORY LINE!

Yep. A real phone number. For your stories.

Maybe you remember a moment at camp when something just clicked. Or a Serve Boldly trip when you saw a community, a stranger, or your own group a little differently.

Maybe it was a friend who showed up at just the right time.
A conversation you didn’t expect.
A moment you felt connected.
A moment you noticed God at work.

We want to hear about it.

No fancy form. No perfect words required. Just pick up the phone and leave us a message (& don't worry, a real person won't answer, we promise!)

Camp is quiet, Serve Boldly gear is getting tucked away for another year, and our international staff have begun their journeys home. Our summer staff have wrapped up their seasons, carrying with them friendships, stories, laughter, and memories from a summer shared across cultures and communities.

We are so grateful.

Grateful for every camper, family, staff member, participant, retreat guest, partner, and community who helped make this summer what it was. For the full tables, muddy shoes, late nights, miles traveled, hard conversations, laughter, worship, and all the little moments in between.

We’re not quite finished. Ordinary Time has one weekend left at Camp House, and there is still plenty of life around the table and campfire.

But as we look toward fall, winter, and eventually another summer, we’re remembering that rest is part of the rhythm, too. Summer asks a lot of the people who make this ministry happen, and we’re giving ourselves permission to rest when we can.

For now, we’re grateful for what has been, present to what still is, and hopeful for what comes next. Thank you soooo much for being part of this summer with us. 💚🌊💛 We’ll see you on the other side of summer.

What an amazing and blessed summer! Can’t think of a better way to spend our time!
