Today, we celebrate the life and mourn the loss of our friend, leader, and Crossways Camps board member, Tom Scheuerman.

Tom was a model of kindness and generosity, serving Crossways with his time, resources, and relationships. He brought years of business and life experience, along with countless connections throughout our synod and among our ministry partners.

Tom was more than a board member. He participated in Crossways programs, volunteered his time, and made our summer staff feel seen and valued, reminding them how important they are to this ministry. He brought his family to Family Camp and GrandKid Camp, and participated in Rooted, where he shared his thoughtful insights and wonderful sense of humor.

Tom invested in this ministry in so many ways, but perhaps most importantly, he invested in people. We are grateful for the time we shared with him, the wisdom and generosity he offered, and the many ways he helped Crossways thrive.

We give thanks for Tom’s life and the lasting impact he leaves on our Crossways community. He will be deeply missed.

Our favorite things about Fall Color Hikes:

- Finding the perfect stick
- Using binoculars to spot something new
- Hiking with a cousin or friend
- Exploring at your own pace
- Seeing itty bitty future campers
and
- Seeing current campers who are looking a lot like future staffers!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for fall color hikes and pizza! A perfect fall day at camp, beautiful colors, good company, and good pizza. What more could we ask for?

We want to address a complaint we’ve been receiving. We do apologize for all the FOMO we’ve been causing lately.

The crisp fall weekend of paddling, biking, and hiking at Traverse. The kind of reset that comes from time away, good company, and intentional but active rest.

The joyful gathering of Margins. Women making space for what matters, slowing down, and taking a collective deep breath.

But the good news? GLEAN is coming up quick, and there’s still time to join us!

This adult retreat is a little different. GLEAN takes shape through the people who show up. Each participant brings something of themselves to the weekend, offering their gifts, experiences, questions, and curiosity. Together, we’ll create something we couldn’t have created on our own.

So come as you are, bring what you have, and see what we might glean from one another. Crosswayscamps.org/gather/glean

Making your weekend plans? How does a walk through rustling leaves and wood-fired pizza around a campfire sound?

Come spend a little time with us at Pine Lake Camp for our Fall Colors Hike!
10 AM–2 PM: Wander the trails, take in the fall colors, and enjoy a little fresh-air reset.
12–2 PM: Gather around the pizza oven and campfire ring for FREE wood-fired pizza and good community.

Feel free to bring a picnic to round out your lunch, grab a spot by the fire, and stay awhile. Whether you’re here for a hike, the pizza, or just a reason to get outside with good people, we'll be glad to see you.

RSVPs are helpful as we plan for pizza! Let us know you’re coming: https://forms.gle/g9xy5U8negzkT67u5

Bring a friend, bring the kids, or just bring yourself. We’ll save you a slice!

What would it take to build a nest big enough for a whole person?

At Rib Mountain State Park, our Camp on Location campers took nature play to a whole new level by building life-size bird nests! Using their imaginations and the materials around them, they practiced creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork as they worked together to bring their ideas to life.

Nature play gives kids the freedom to explore, experiment and take healthy risks. It invites them to learn through doing (and sometimes getting a little messy!).

The result? Incredible nests, collaboration, and campers who got to experience what’s possible when imagination meets the great outdoors.

Camp Jr. is one of our favorite days of the whole year!

Our littlest campers bring their boundless energy and a favorite grown-up, and we pack the day with all the best parts of camp: exploring, creating, playing, and making memories together.

What a special day of getting to share camp magic!

This weekend, we got to host something brand new at camp: Margins, a retreat for women ready to make a little room.

We made space together. And you know what? Making space takes work! It takes commitment to set aside the time, to step away from the noise, and to resist the urge to fill every quiet moment with something else.

Fall at camp gave us dreamy weather, but the women who gathered here? Even more beautiful.

We’re so grateful for a weekend of wandering, resting, creating, laughing, wondering, and simply being together.

And if Traverse and Margins have you daydreaming about your own weekend at camp, registration for GLEAN is open now! Join us in November for a different kind of gathering centered on communal learning, teaching and leading, giving and receiving, and gleaning from one another.

We’d love to see you there. CrosswaysCamps.org/gather/glean

There's a special feeling at the end of the summer when you realize these people have become your people.

Staff applications for Summer 2027 are OPEN!

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to spend a summer here, not just as a camper, but as one of the people who makes the magic happen, we’d love for you to take a look.
