Casting Cares: Let go and find rest.

with Angie Jarratt

In this breakout, Angie will challenge us to examine the burdens we carry and the words we use to describe them. Are we truly “tired,” all the time or are we “weary and heavy laden”? Together, we’ll learn to cast our cares on Jesus, renew our minds, and find true rest in a world that never slows down.

Seasons Change, Calling Remains

with Laura Upchurch

Motherhood changes with every season, but God’s calling on our lives remains constant. In this reflective session, we’ll explore how our roles evolve over time and how to embrace the season we’re in without regret for the past or fear of the future. Together, we’ll find encouragement to release guilt, trust God’s timing, and celebrate the impact of motherhood at every stage. This is a space to be reminded that no matter the season, your calling as a mother is meaningful—and God is faithfully at work in you.

Hospitality Focus

with Shirley Hafliger

At Home in His Rest: A Guided Scripture Meditation

with Mendy Beltran

If you’re tired—body, soul, or spirit—this space is for you. In this guided Scripture meditation, we will gently slow down and sit with God’s Word, allowing His presence to steady us and His truth to meet us right where we are. There is no pressure to do or fix anything—only an invitation to rest and remember that you are safe, loved, and at home with Him.

Created to Bloom

Craft with Stacey Turner

In this hands-on creative session, you’ll design a simple floral wall hanging using a gold metal hoop and hand-crafted felt flowers. This relaxing, guided craft creates space to slow down and reflect on what it means to be at home in God, exploring what it looks like to dwell with Him, find belonging, and be rooted in His care. All supplies provided.

Threads of Faith

Craft with Paig FLorez

Learn simple embroidery stitches while creating a meaningful faith-inspired art piece. This beginner-friendly class is a peaceful space to slow down, connect, and reflect on how God weaves beauty into our lives—one stitch at a time. No experience needed. All supplies provided.

Adventure Time: Zip Line and Giant Swing

Trade quiet reflection for adrenaline and laughter in this high-energy breakout! Participants will have the opportunity to soar on the zip line and take a leap of faith on the giant swing. It’s all about fun, encouragement, and trying something new in a supportive, joy-filled environment. Come brave, come nervous, come excited—just come ready for fun! Led by the staff at the camp.

Saddle Up and Slow Down: Guided Horseback Trail Ride

This guided horseback trail ride is all about slowing your pace and enjoying the journey. Take in scenic views, fresh air, and relaxed conversation as you ride alongside other women. It’s a peaceful, low-pressure breakout perfect for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a quiet moment outdoors. Led by the staff at the Camp.
