Go and sin no moreThe battle rages every day for me. I am a broken person. Consequently, my desires, wishes, and wants are marred.

FREE CPYU WEBINAR:
The Power of Camp:
How Camp Helps Kids Grow in Their Faith

Wednesday, May 6, 2015
8:00PM - 8:30PM EDT


Webinar Description:
For parents and youth workers who are passionate about seeing kids follow Jesus in all nooks and crannies of life, what best practices and strategies can we employ to foster that reality? With summer coming, we can't forget that one of the most powerful and life-changing experiences we can give to kids - especially in our hurried and harried tech-driven world - is time at camp. Still, many of us have never experienced or considered just how powerful the Christian camping experience really is. In this FREE 30-minute webinar, CPYU President Walt Mueller will pick the brains of Gregg Hunter (President/CEO of the
Christian Camp & Conference Association) and Greg Anderson (Executive Director of Inspiration Point
Camp in Minnesota) to explore practical ways for parents and youth workers to help their kids get the most out of Christian camping.
