This summer camp was thriving with the image and blessings of God! Our summer staff created a culture of energy, unity and love, through their commitment to scripture and submission to the Holy Spirit, which was contagious and inspiring. God used this amazing community environment to show His Kingdom to 811 children and bring 120 of them into the family of God for the first time! At least 66 kids recommitted to following Jesus with their lives and many expressed interest in our mentoring programs. Also, over 70 teenage volunteers got a taste of service ministry through our Leaders in Training program. Some have been campers, some want to be summer staff, but all of them saw Jesus at work in the lives of the campers and, for many, in their own hearts. Please pray that these “mountain top” experiences will inspire them to enact change and live out the way of Jesus in their local communities.
Enjoy these snapshots of our summer!
We had an AMAZING staff this summer! Pray with us that they will ALL be able to stay involved in the future. Special thanks to Grant and Jess who were not able to make this picture!
Horseback riding provides a new experience and great lessons about control and trust.
Diversity is a core value at Camp Beechpoint. Children from totally different cultures, family structures, and even faith backgrounds have the opportunity to celebrate their differences and unite on the common ground of Jesus’ love and Biblical truth.
Work is play at camp! Learning how to be a team with people from all different walks of life is a beautiful part of camp.

Stay tuned for up-coming events!
Another amazing week has passed and it has been exciting to see how God continues to change lives at Camp! This week our honor camper was Dee Dee … she was a returning camper from last year. Only last year, she needed alot of special attention because of her attitudes and behavior. When asked about the difference, she said, “After camp last year, I was tired of being bad. I felt like a totally different person.” This week it showed, as she demonstrated her love for God in a wonderful and positive way. This is why we do what we do….scholarship08
Please pray with us for 224 more scholarships be given to meet this summer’s need. Contributions can be sent to Camp Beechpoint Scholarships, 3212 - 125th Ave., Allegan, MI 49010.
July 3rd brought a special way to celebrate Independence Day at Camp Beechpoint. The Grand City Show Skiers provided a spectacular show for the campers, staff, and over 150 guests.
Most of the campers had never seen a water ski show before and some may never see one again. It was very fun and energizing to see the kids’ eyes light up as they saw something so new and different. The kids proved to be a great interactive audience. They were so pumped and having such a good time. Many of the 
kids asked for autographs, slapped high fives to the performers after their acts, and looked for ways to get a "feel" for the action by trying on ski gloves and checking out equipment.
From high-flying action, to humor, to stylistic doubles and pyramid skiing, it was a great show! Special thanks go out to Chad Van Horn of "The Real Estate Firm" for bringing this fun to the camp and sponsoring the show.

The following are a couple of excerpts from notes from campers this week:
“Thank you for teaching us about God. I learned a lot about Him. Thank you David for helping me ride a horse. The best part I liked here is going swimming and making new friends.” -Klarissa
“I loved this camp a lot. I had a lot of fun. I loved the swimming the most. I wish I could come back next year. I learned that the key to success was Jesus. I also learned it is different to know something in your head than in your heart.” -Krista
“I would like to thank you for letting me come to Camp Beechpoint. I had a lot of fun and I learn much about God. The canoe and bike trip was the best. I hope I can come back next year.” - Marshon
