Youth from camp’s Leaders in Training program participated in the weekend.

Campers ages 10-18 attend the weekend with a parent or adult mentor.

The retreat ends with a commitment ceremony where campers can choose to make a pledge of purity to God.

“I liked learning about the type of guys that girls want to date.  When I get home I am going to be more of a gentleman, be more respectful, and be cautious when choosing who I date.” – boy, age 13

“This weekend taught my daughter the importance of saving herself for the man God has for her.  I realize the importance of this retreat.  I didn’t have this when I was growing up.” – mother

“I learned that people should keep their lips to themselves.” – girl, age 10

“The best part of the weekend was learning all the new Bible verses and going skating with everybody.  I learned that we need to wait until we are married to have sex and that us girls really give boys something to look at and talk about by the way we dress.” – girl, age 15

“I learned that God takes care of me.  Camp is the funnest thing in the world!” - girl, age 6

“Because of you I got to make smores for the first time, they were delicious!  Becasue of you I have the record for the longest sledding run alone.  Because of you, my first time at Winter Blast was the best!” - boy, age 12

“I got to express all my feelings.  All I want to do when I get home is be the person that I was here.” - boy, age 11

“At Winter Blast this year I did the Klondike Derby.  I enjoyed that so much because we had to build teamwork and that is the biggest!  The food was so good that I wanted to take all the meals home.” - girl, age 10

“I didn’t know that Christians have fun.  I learned how real Christians live in camp.” - boy, age 8

“I learned that God is sovereign, which means in control.  My favorite event was sledding and rolling down the hill.  Thank you for helping me come to camp!” - girl, age 10

God is using camping to reach children for Him.  Praise God for one boy who accepted Christ last weekend!  Another child told a leader, “Wow.  All the grown ups here LIKE me!”   Get a glimpse into Winter Blast 2010 through these pictures of kids loving camp!

All the leaves were drug from around campus into the woodline.

 After lunch, volunteers participated in bikes, the zip line, and rock climbing.
