What a Church Campout Is


A church campout is...


Hours of fun playing in the creek



 Finding all sorts of interesting creatures to catch,


as well as friends to show your discoveries to!


A church campout isn't complete without a minnow in a plastic cup!


It's a variety of colorful tents, snug cabins and cozy RV's {the latter, for those of us who don't prefer roughing it!}


A church camp out is a time to get away in the beauty of nature,


and enjoy a slower pace.


It's a delicious breakfast smorgasboard 


cooked by the guys!


It is fun on the sliding board


and learning to share our favorite toys!


It's the delight of finding a muddy puddle to stomp in


while the mothers grimace about yet another change of clothes!


A church camp is an opportunity to make new friends...


and many long conversations with old friends.


It's the sharing of exciting experiences like loose teeth,



and painful ones...like a bite from a crawfish!


Church camp outs are bike rides in the rain,


sharing an umbrella..

and huddling around a fire under a tent to stay warm!



It is tired babies and strollers to push them in {or for them to push!}


vibrant wildflowers and adorable little girls.



Church camp outs are competitive soccer games


that children of all ages can play!



It's a long drink at a water spigot


and happy smiles from a baby!


A church camp out is lots of good food,


roasting hot dogs on a stick,


and steak, chicken and shrimp at midnight around a campfire!


It's a place for daddies to teach their sons all about shuffleboard,


and photographers have a hay-day!


A church camp out is a chance to enjoy each other


and make memories that will last a lifetime!
