Some of us speak our thoughts and feelings to God, while others are quiet, settling their hearts to make space for God. Some pray through music, art, or movement, others pray out loud, while still others’ prayers are whispers of the soul. Whether we fold our hands and bow our heads, or raise our hands up and look to the sky, God is longing to connect with us. God hears our prayers. In this new outdoor ministry resource, campers will explore the shared longings of the human heart and all the different ways Christians have prayed throughout history.
Want to go to camp, but it doesn’t quite fit in the budget this summer? We have scholarships for that! Everyone should have the opportunity to experience Camp Crystal.
Camp scholarships are an important part of the Christian Education budgets of many congregations. They stimulate greater camp participation and make Camp Crystal affordable for those who may otherwise not be able to attend. We encourage you to talk with your church to find out if they offer scholarships and sign up today!
In addition to church scholarships, there are scholarships available from the Fuller Camp Scholarship Fund, available for ANY child or youth who needs assistance to attend Crystal.
For more information, or to request scholarship assistance, contact Rev. Timothy Murtaugh, timdmurtaugh@gmail.com.
