Boy’s Camp-out - 2009

On October 9th and 10th we had our first ever Boy’s Camp-out at Pole Cat Hollow! This was a new event for us, as we were able to split the usual Fall Retreat into two separate gender-specific camp-outs. We had many boys from our various programs come to the camp-out and we were able to spend time together over the fire, eating camp food, and we even took a hike down through the creek! It was very exciting to have the time set apart to work with just guys and to see the potential for other camp-outs that can be spent in meaningful investment in the boy’s lives.

Fall Retreat 2009 - Girl’s Camp-out!

Our Nikos Fall Retreat for Girls happened Sept. 25 - 27th. It was amazing to see how God changed our initial plans for a traditional Nikos camp-out and formed something so much better! Although it required faith and flexibility, the retreat went beautifully as a “girls only” camp-out. We saw God working out even the smallest details, making the ratios of campers to leaders just right for relational connections to happen amongst the activity rotation, songs, teaching, and tent time.

The Fall Retreat is this weekend! Sept 26-27th!!

We are excited to have our Fall Retreat this weekend! We will continue to speak about the Amazing Race theme, and spend time loving and praying for the children that come. (Ages 6-11.) Please pray with us as we still have a need for some more leaders to come and serve the kids. If you are interested in helping out or just want to find out more, CLICK HERE.

Here’s a snapshot from our HEB Camp Girls Sleepover! We were preparing to watch a movie in 3D after we made a spaghetti dinner together : ) The mentors who came to HEB Camp organized this fun way to follow up with the ladies after spending a week together at Camp. I think we’re making a new fashion statement!
