This summer at Camp Friedenswald we are going to practice Walkin’ in Wonder. So what is this Walkin’ in Wonder about?
Walkin’ in Wonder… is about taking cues from Jesus’ life among his disciples to empower us to live our lives (aka: live out our faith!) perpetually tuned into the presence of the HOLY in our midst…
“The wisdom of trees” permeated the peaceful woods this summer. We learned a lot ABOUT trees! From my spot during our daily “Tree Sit”, perched on the roots of the sugar maple that shades the camp bell at the center of camp, I experienced “the wisdom of trees” week after week; wisdom that drew many of us into a kind of relationship with the trees around us.
As the summer season wraps up, we’re already looking forward to what 2025 will bring. Mark your calendars and save the date!
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?…
