Shared experiences build memories and friendships. They are an essential part of our life. We see it in the life of Jesus and the way He invited people into his life because he understood the value of community. We were never made to do life alone. In fact, we were made for community!
This summer we are excited to host CSC Summer Campouts where each campus can gather together, slow down their pace of life, to simply BE with one another. The focus: connect with God, build stronger friendships, and experience Spiritual Family.
Camping has been part of CSC’s history for years, hosting teen camps, kids camps, youth camps, family camps, and in recent years, campus campout experiences. These weekends are meant to be a natural community-building experience.
So join us for our annual Bearspaw Summer Campout – an extended time together to build community with your local campus church family! We are incredibly excited about this summer and the ways we will connect and grow as a family. Don’t miss it!
“Bearspaw Summer Campout is the best way to experience what the early church was like. It is pure, genuine, real, satisfying and fun. From meals together, making lifelong friends, outdoor activities, river baptisms, worship in small rooms, praying for each other and hearing how God has answered prayer - camp has it all. I have been looking forward to this upcoming camp from the minute the last one ended!” – Bud Brunner, Bearspaw Congregant and Happy Camper
