Families,

Thank you for choosing Camp Evergreen and entrusting your children to us this summer—we feel privileged to share in the work God is doing in their lives. We recognize that it can seem like a huge leap of faith to send your child to a summer camp, but our hope is that when you greet your child on Closing Day, you will see evidence of growth in independence, confidence, faith and joy!

We firmly believe your child is not a number at camp. Each is a one-of-a kind masterpiece who God created for a very specific purpose in this world. We hope that time spent in the wilderness at Camp Evergreen surrounded by Christian mentors and friends, and immersed in fun activities and God’s word will be a stepping stone to realizing and living out that purpose. We look forward to welcoming your family into our camp family!

Sincerely,

Katie & Toby Grady
Camp Director & Pastor
