Summer 2018: Followers of the Way
It’s time to make plans to spend a week of your summer at Camp Friedenswald! This year, our theme focuses on the disciples of Jesus. We’ll be looking at the stories of Jesus’ disciples and followers, examining the call of following Jesus, and also considering what it means to be Followers of the Way in our own context.
Join our Summer Worship Team, Camp Pastor, Counselors, and Support Staff in this time of learning and growth! In addition to worshiping and singing together, other activities throughout the week will include swimming, kayaking, playing outdoor games like volleyball, hiking, making crafts, and cooking supper over an open fire.

Primary Camp

A great way to introduce young children to the wonders of God, camp, and nature in a safe, caring environment. Our counselors go through training specifically focused on working with this age group at camp, and our shortened three days camp experience helps campers who may be away from parents for the first time.
On Wednesday evening we end Primary Camp with a special parent/child dinner to which parents are invited and encouraged to attend. This provides a way to celebrate your camper’s first time at camp and allows children a chance to show parents around Camp and share their experiences.

This year, we’re trying something new during Family Camp 1!

Musician-in- residence Addie Liechty will help guide the week’s special musical activities, including a Women’s Choir, Men’s Choir, and folk instrument lessons.
