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 3 of 4, and the theme is PEACE.

You will keep him
in perfect peace
whose mind is focused on you
because he trusts in you
-Isaiah 26:3

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, only joy."
- ​St. Francis of Assisi
