What is Camp Reunion
Camp Reunion is a Camp Retreat for Awana Camp Alumni.
What happens when graduate from Awana Camp and can no longer attend camp? Or would you like to relive the good times of camp and share them with your family?
There has not been an option to do this until now.
With Camp Reunion you can now return to camp. You can attend with your family, as a single, or even as a married couple and enjoy fellowship with a new group of friends.
Camp Reunion allows us to "Continue the Journey" and move individuals, and families out of the hectic race of life and into a different environment which can cause them to see life and circumstances in fresh new ways.
Join us to re-live that experience once again with Camp Reunion and allow us to bring back the fun of fellowship with one another.
This event offers us to understand our calling with the excitement of God's beautiful nature as our backdrop.
