Our 2025 summer theme is The Wisdom of Trees: Instructions for Living. Throughout the season we will pay attention to the trees that surround us. We will ask questions, both scientific and theological: What does it mean to be deeply rooted? And how do those roots nurture community? How are trees able to withstand the storms of life, and what might we learn from them?…
2025 Winter Camp Recap: Sacred Connections
Snow carpeted the ground for both High School and Jr High Winter Camps at Camp Friedenswald this January, providing a magical snow-scape in which to explore “Sacred Connections.” In these days when much around us can feel less than magical, our theme of “Sacred Connections with ourselves, others, nature, and God” provided a meaningful framework from which to see, name, and celebrate the Holy mystery that perpetually connects us to ourselves, to each other, to the world around us, and ultimately, to God.
