IMPACT Camp Meeting 2024

DEAr CAmpErS:

Welcome to Camp Meeting 2024!

Whether you’re joining us for the first time, or are a returning attendee, we’re thrilled to have you here! This year’s encampment promises to be an enriching and memorable experience for all!

This year, 2024, is special as we are celebrating 45 years of owning and operating Lone Star Camp!

For 45 years, we have been inspired by spiritually uplifting worship experiences!

For 45 years, we have been blessed by fellowshipping with other Christian believers!

For 45 years, we have been rejuvenated by the picturesque and hallowed grounds of Lone Star Camp!

For 45 years, we have praised God!

Our theme this year is, “Impact,” as we seek to positively impact our churches, communities, and culture. In these, the final years of earth’s history, we can no longer merely have “motion” with no “movement.” Under the unction of God’s Spirit, we must be intentional about moving God’s work forward and making impact!

It is our prayer that Camp Meeting 2024 affords you the opportunity to unplug, reflect, and reconnect with what matter most – a closer walk with our Creator!

Thank you for coming, and collectively, let’s make “Impact” and celebrate 45 years of Lone Star Camp!

May God abundantly bless you during our time together.

Sincerely, President

Our SCUBA themed VBS is designed to engage our children with interactive Bible stories, lively worship, fun crafts, and exciting games, all while emphasizing the importance of God’s love and teachings. On Friday, June 14th, we will enjoy a special presentation and on Sabbath, June 15th, all children will engage in a community outreach project and fun activity.

We look forward to serving all registered children during this encampment and ask that each child bring the following every day:

Comfortable clothing suitable for active play. A water bottle with the child’s name. A positive attitude and a readiness for fun!

We are excited to see how God will work through this SCUBA adventure to touch the hearts of our children and to grow their faith in Him. We look forward to making this VBS a memorable and impactful experience for everyone involved.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children for this special event. We look forward to diving into God’s Word and discovering His amazing love!
