Summer Fun Camp
July 18-22, 2010
This is First Congregational's longest running program for youth. Summer Fun Camp pairs high school youth with children from families who are experiencing homelessness, for five days of summer fun at our Central Pacific Conference's Camp Adams. High school youth plan and lead the experience which includes crafts, games, swimming, crawdad fishing, and hiking...all the things that make summer camp renewing and fun. In the process, transformative relationships of compassion and joy are nourished. For more information, contact Pastor Melanie Oommen, 541-345-8741.
