Be a Hero!

Through a variety of stories about both biblical and contemporary heroes, campers will discover the characteristics of the hero and consider ways in which they too can be heroes. Being a hero for God means recognizing a need, realizing that something can be done to address that need, and taking the risk to act. Being a hero for God involves understanding that God calls and equips each of us to do some of what Jesus and other biblical heroes did. And for us, like the biblical heroes, this work is often done in simple ways, with everyday things, and by ordinary people. Campers will leave camp knowing that it takes more courage and faith to be one of God's heroes than it takes to simply leap off tall buildings in a single bound!
