Overview

Few tools in God's toolbox are as effective as Christian camping. Children, young people, and adults make life-changing as well as eternity-changing decisions at camp. So, why does it work? Maybe the answer lies in God's magnificent design for our world. Maybe God built us to be campers! Maybe the more we align ourselves with God's design, the more we become aware of God's glory seen in creation and more open to the good news provided in God's Word. Blueprints examines several biblical passages to discover God's design for Christian camping. And to understand why the ingredients of time, relocation, relationships, creation, and spiritual intents coalesce to form the recipe for transformational moments.
