Spend a weekend at Camp Dickenson to celebrate the season of Advent as we prepare for the miracle of Christmas. Camp staff will lead fun games, songs, camp activities, and worship. 

This is a great time for Mom and Dad to finish shopping, gift wrapping, or enjoy other holiday fun. Drop-off is Friday evening, and the weekend goes through 2:00pm Sunday afternoon. 

Each year, we will dig into one of the four pillars of Advent as a focus for our faith formation programming. This is year 2 of 4, and the theme is LOVE.

I, the Lord All-Powerful,
will send my messenger
    to prepare the way for me.
Then suddenly the Lord
you are looking for
    will appear in his temple.
The messenger you desire
is coming with my promise,
    and he is on his way.
- Malachi 3:1
