"To me winter camp is a time to slow down and focus on God. It’s a time of discovery and growth in relationships, with both the youth group as well as God. It’s also a time for me to really focus on what God has for me. The reason I keep going back is because in my fast- paced life, I tend to forget almost everything, whether it’s what I had for breakfast or my own birthday, so making the commitment to go every year helps me solidify myself in God. I can honestly say that the years of going has changed my outlook on the church, God, and myself (all in positive ways). Winter camp has made me a better person who is now able to see God on a daily basis, instead of just my once or twice a week church going days. Winter camp has become a vital part of my life and is always something I look forward to every year in comes around
