Coming soon to camp!
Set to open for the 2018 camping season, the Sunny Day Leadership and Activities Center will house three classrooms and a gymnasium facility. The hope for the new facility is to honor the leaders who have gone ahead of us by continuing the training necessary for church leadership to thrive in the future. With three separate classrooms, leadership training for extra campers will be able to occur simultaneously with camps that are already established during the summer. The gymnasium area will also provide a place for indoor activities to occur when the weather gets rough as well as an area for athletic groups to utilize and potentially be brought face-to face with the Gospel message.
Funds are still being raised and needed for the new facility but the location of the building is ready. As you consider how this new ministry can impact the youth in your church and how it can minister to churches and groups individually, please prayerfully consider how you can be part of the development in ministry at Camp Cowen.
