Mennonite Camping and Curling


Each year, we gather with other Mennonite Camps to share ideas, struggles, and our journeys. In the odd numbered years we meet with our region, last year we met at Swan Lake in South Dakota. The even numbered years, we meet with camps from across Canada and the US. Last week, we gathered at Hidden Acres in Ontario, Canada. We worshiped, networked, laughed, prayed, and more together. We described ourselves as family and worked to build bridges towards each other.

It was a time filled with refreshment as we connected with 60+ people involved in camping in like 15 different camps. We tried curling which might just need its own blog post, what fun we had on the pebble trying to get stones in the house. Amigo had 9 people attend to get ideas, share in concerns, and get ready for the coming months. Each of us came away with new energy for camping, for sharing, for following Jesus.

Please check out other Mennonite camps as you travel around, very beautiful places that we have been entrusted with.
