Summer is here and that means Abilene Christian University has been transformed into one large campground for thousands of children from across the country. For the next eight weeks, a variety of summer camps will be held to meet the growing need for leadership training among young Christian believers. From day camps for young students to adventures in the mountains for the older camper, ACU has something for everyone."Our summer camps provide age-appropriate curriculum and experiences, adult role models with strong faith and leadership, and a variety of projects integrated with recreation to help campers of all ages grow spiritually and develop life skills," said Dr. Jan Meyer, director of ACU Leadership Camps. "In all the camps, the campers are challenged to act out their faith in their everyday life, and they're equipped with the knowledge of how to do it."
Four of the weeklong camps, KidQuest, Learning to Lead, MPulse and Kadesh, are held on the ACU campus. Cross Training, open to middle and high school students, will be held in the mountains of Sipapu, New Mexico.
Camp participants will spend the week experiencing games and activities promoting cooperation and team-building skills, small-group discussions about living out Christianity in every aspect of life, challenges that inspire creativity and leadership, and an environment in which campers can build lasting relationships with peers and role models from all over the country.
"The mission of ACU Leadership Camps is to inspire Christian commitment and action in the hearts and minds of a generation of youth to impact the world with the message of God’s love and redemption…one camper at a time," said Meyer.
