We can’t wait for Summer 2026! Our Program Director, Jared Jensen shares a little more on what we have planned this year.
Our theme for summer 2026 is Power Up. Taking inspiration from classic video games, we will have decorations, skits, and games that will make campers feel like they are living an epic adventure. We will also use iconic items and characters to teach Biblical truths that will stick with campers.
Our theme verse is Romans 15:13, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
We will unpack that true power comes from God, and we will learn about topics like: God’s protection, support from friends and family, forgiveness and second chances, and growing stronger in a relationship with Jesus. To help campers remember the lessons, we have tied each of these topics to an item that comes from a ? block in Mario. God’s Protection (Star), Support from Friends (Yoshi), Forgiveness & second chances (1 Up), Growing stronger (Mushroom).
Some good news – I am most excited to be fully staffed this summer! Our summer staffing has been pretty consistent for the past three years, but this year we have a lot of positive momentum building from last summer. It’s February, and we have already received more applications than we did for any of the past 5 summers. Having already conducted nearly 50 interviews, I am excited about both the quantity and quality of the staff for this summer.
