Each year campers come to Beechpoint for our Winter Blast! This year we had 158 campers! It’s a high energy weekend full of Bible lessons, reconnecting with camp staff and friends, and exciting activities. Campers enjoyed sledding and playing Broomball on the frozen lake. During the Great Klondike Derby campers learned how to work as a team to complete challenges along the route. For many campers like Kadavion, the weekend is an opportunity to do many new activities.

While I was here I learned about helping and supporting. Also I enjoyed spending time with positive role models and learning about the Lord. I had fun enjoying doing new things like shooting bows and arrows and chopping wood. Again, thank you for this awesome weekend.”

Our lessons for Winter Blast were from Romans 12:2 – challenging our campers to not conform to the pattern of the world but be transformed by renewing their minds. Satan’s goal is to deceive and ensnare our youth. The weekend was full of teaching about how to reject the lies of the enemy by renewing our minds with the truth of God’s Word. Listen to what some of our campers wrote about their experience at WinterBlast:

“At Beechpoint you can have fun and friends.  This camp is about friendship and loving.  If I didn’t have friends I would come to this camp to have friends and learn about God.  I learned that He loves me.”

- Nathan, age 11

“I learned about some things that I used to think were the truth but they were really lies.” – Siclali, age 14

“I went hiking in the woods. I also learned about Paul, Job, and Peter and how they all three changed because of the mighty GOD!!!”

– Christian, age 8

Thank you for helping to make Winter Blast 2011 possible! Please pray for the for the campers who received this teaching, that they will stand strong in their faith and continue to learn from the Word. Pray for the 5 campers who made first time decisions to trust Christ, that they will be a light in their families!
