2026 Theme
Each year we have a camp theme to inspire us all, campers as well as staff. The annual theme is decided every year during the annual conference of the Association of Cedarbrook Camps!
This summer we will be exploring what it means to be a “DEFENDER.” Throughout the week we will study and discuss what it means to be a defender of our faith and what God calls us to defend. Our theme verse, 1 Peter 3:15, reminds us: “But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect” (ESV).
Together we will look at the armor God has given us, remembering that ultimately God Himself is our Defender. We will also consider what we are called to defend—our faith, the truth of God’s Word, and the hope we have in Christ—and how we can do so in a way that reflects Christ’s character.
In today’s culture, where many competing ideas and beliefs surround us, we desire campers to grow in confidence in what they believe and to learn how to stand firm in the truth. It will be an exciting summer as we learn and practice together how to be defenders of the faith, following the example of Paul—sharing the gospel boldly while speaking with gentleness and respect.
Our Summer Camp program encourages each camper to:
- develop a personal relationship with God;
- learn to study God’s Word and apply Biblical principles to daily life;
- become more aware of God’s creation and learn how to care for the environment;
- learn new skills, experience achievement and deepen their sense of self-worth and confidence;
- develop leadership ability;
- develop meaningful relationships with other campers and staff and practice Biblical principles of community living;
- learn outdoor skills that will enable them to be comfortable and independent outdoors.
