Love letter to camp...
Week Four: Longing to Celebrate
This year many of our summer camping programs faced creative, spiritual and financial challenges. For many young people, camp is a significant part of their faith journey and relationships. Ministries Across Generations wanted to share importance of camp and support (financially and spiritually) the places where many people feel God's presence most.

Tall Oaks Love Letter
I started to go to camp at the age of five. I didn’t know how important this place would become to me. Tall Oaks has become a significant place in my life.
Eighters was a very specific year that stands out in my camp experience. That year camp taught me how to be comfortable with myself. The relationships that I made during that year are still with me today. Getting to spend a week surrounded by my peers and having honest conversations about ourselves and love was what made my Eighters experience memorable.
Tall Oaks has meant so much to me. It influenced my decision to join the Regional Youth Cabinet as an Adult Leader. I have also become a keynoter for the Eighters curriculum. I am hoping to give the next generations the experience that I was so blessed to have at Tall Oaks.
With much love,

Scripture Week Four: (From InsideOut, This is Our Prayer)
Every time I think of you, I thank my God. And whenever I mention you in my prayers, it makes me happy. This is because you have taken part with me in spreading the good news from the first day you heard about it. God is the one who began this good work in you, and I am certain that he won’t stop before it is complete on the day that Christ Jesus returns.
You have a special place in my heart. So it is only natural for me to feel the way I do. All of you have helped in the work that God has given me, as I defend the good news and tell about it here in jail. God himself knows how much I want to see you. He knows that I care for you in the same way that Christ Jesus does.
I pray that your love will keep on growing and that you will fully know and understand how to make the right choices. Then you will still be pure and innocent when Christ returns. And until that day, Jesus Christ will keep you busy doing good deeds that bring glory and praise to God.
