Developing young leaders at Hills of Peace

By Becky Middleton, Canada West Mission Centre Co-President

From all accounts, Youth Camp at Hills of Peace was a great week filled with fun, fellowship, and bonding together. All were welcomed and included as part of the whole.

Campers enjoyed a variety of interest classes, including drama, home electrical basics, outdoor cooking, and tie-dye crafting, as well as in-depth discussions on a range of topics. Friendly camp cup competitions added to the spirit of fun and connection.

There were many incredible highlights along with spiritually enriching moments. A special highlight was the baptism and confirmation of Jada Middleton on Tuesday morning—a sacred and simple service at the lake, followed by confirmation in the large chapel.

The week included both new campers and those who return every year to this sacred, beloved space. This was equally reflected in the talented and dedicated staff.

The camp theme was Lead. We are witnessing the growth of capable young leaders—not only for the future, but for right now.

To reiterate the themes of our summer camps: CHOOSE HOPE in ACTION and LEAD!
