That was the theme chosen for Christian Brethren Assemblies' Easter Camp 2025. For the first time in the history of CAC camping, it was held at Turning Point campsite, and this inspired our theme. We recognized that many campers experienced negative things in life, which would bring them to a turning point that would require them to change direction. Our aim was to present Jesus as the source of hope, who would help to guide them in the right direction, and navigate through the challenges of life.

Campers leading worship at one of the sessions |
Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son was a major theme throughout camp: from the devotions to the chapel sessions to the skit night. They were assured that God loved them unconditionally no matter what they had done, and that they could always return to Him, repent and He would accept them back with open arms. They had the opportunity to portray this on skit night, with a modern day interpretation of the biblical account. They were very creative in their presentations: from the father who was a mechanic to the son who ended up driving a garbage truck when his inheritance ran out!

The car he was working on was my favorite prop for the night |
The campers were also challenged to follow God's plans for their lives in times of trouble, and assured that God would not abandon them when they face difficulties - He would be their present help in adversity. They were encouraged to hold fast to God's Word, which promised to work out all things for good, even the things which are negative. They were also encouraged to embrace whatever changes they experienced in life as God working out His purposes in them.

Doing an activity to show how life has 'potholes' that we need to navigate |
My role on camp this year was different than in previous years. I did not have responsibility to lead either a dorm nor a team. This gave me the opportunity to be an observer. Because of my years of experience as a campworker, I was able to see things that other persons may have overlooked, like those campers who came to camp for the first time and were wandering around aimlessly until I offered to take them on a tour of the campsite; or that young lady who was outside of the auditorium during mealtime who eventually confessed that she had not eaten anything since she came up on camp; or that boy who was always running around barefooted because his sneakers were too tight for his feet.
