Surrounded by water, trees, and rolling hills, Camp Firelight is the perfect location for every Camper’s favorite summer activities! With the help of Lu the Lightning Bug and the Camp Counselor Guidebook, Counselor Sam and our Campers explore timeless Bible stories that show how Old and New Testament Campers trusted God in the face of their own fears and went on to do great things in God’s name. Through these stories, this program will teach us to trust that God will go with us, lead the way, share wisdom, to give us peace, and spark joy as we celebrate the good news of Jesus in our own lives and in the lives of others. New this year: extend the day with an after Vacation Bible School camp with Austin Youth Fitness. Kids will bring a lunch and spend the afternoon having fun in the Family Life Center. For more information about VBS, extending the day, or to register now, go HERE.
