JOY Camp is a week long overnight camp focused on delivering the message of God's love through fun, fellowship, nature, scripture, and worship. All are welcome, regardless of where you are in your journey of faith.
Serving youth from ages 5th grade to high school seniors.
Goal: Introduce leaders in our conference to a longstanding, Christ-centered summer camp and provide them with sufficient knowledge about JOY Camp to speak confidently to the families they serve about the ministry they witnessed at camp.
We are aware that some leaders are not familiar with the wonders JOY camp has to offer. We would like to invite you to a morning of camp so you can experience the fun and meet JOY Camp directors and Camp Reynoldswood staff.
Tentative Agenda:
To help ensure enough food and to include all dietary restrictions, please RSVP to JOY Camp Director, Payton Keithley.
Questions can also be directed to Payton Keithley and the JOY Camp team
