This camp is for Church of God congregations and those we have invited to join us. If you're part of our Church of God family, we can't wait to see you! If you'd like to be part of this special weekend, reach out to the Palominas Chapel—we'd love to talk with you about joining us!
This gathering is a labor of love. Ministry, music, and meals are provided by those willingly and freely offering their talents and resources. As Jesus said, "Freely you have received; freely give" (Matthew 10:8).
Rooms Have a reasonable cost and rates are set by the retreat center, but food is free and donation-supported. This "camp" is built on generosity. Those who can give—time, talent, or resources—do so joyfully, making it possible for all to be blessed. We serve one another in love (Galatians 5:13) and trust God to provide through willing hearts.
