Can you believe we're 3 weeks into summer already?!
Camp is such an exciting time in children's lives. A time to try out their wings, make new friends, possibly meet their very best Friend. Camp is a place that families can go to "get away from it all", connect with one another again, and make GREAT memories. We hope that this summer you are seeing all of that happen in your camp! |

Camp's Disneyland Effect - What's your Impact?
"Each chance I get, I tell a story that speaks to the tremendous impact camp can have in the lives of its participants. However, the story, powerful in and of itself, is not enough to prove to the rest of the world that camps are in fact meeting the developmental needs of youth." Read more... |

Evaluating CCI/Canada's Progess 
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." 2 Tim 2:15 |

Making an IMPACT
"Making an IMPACT rather than an impression... How we live determines how we lead which will determine the impact we make. Impression, is what we do when children first arrive at camp. Impact, is what we did that is visible in their lives 20 years later. Camp creates lifelong Impacts!" Source
So have you taken time to assess how your camp is doing in making an impact? How about your camp's effectiveness in leading staff and campers?
