Winter Reunion 2022

Season’s greetings campers!
Have you been missing camp lately or maybe just your camp friends? Well then you should join us December 31st thru January 2nd for the annual Brookwoods & Deer Run Winter Reunion! We are BACK after having to postpone reunion for a year! There is no better way to bring in the New Year then to be at camp! This is a unique opportunity for you to return to camp mid-year, be encouraged in your walk with Christ, connect with camp friends, and catch up with your counselors!
We are excited to have our very own, Deer Run Camp Pastor, Gwen Reed, joining us as this year’s retreat speaker! The theme this winter is titled “BOLD” coming from 2 Timothy 1:7, “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” We will dive into what it looks like to live a “BOLD” life for Christ, and how it is defined in scripture . Timothy charges us that the spirit God gave us does not make us timid or afraid, but rather it equips us to have power, to have love, and to have self-discipline. My desire is that you come away from this retreat having the confidence to live out your faith not in fear, but in boldness as God intended!
As always, there will be fun activities including our new outdoor ice rink (bring your own skates!), broomball, tubing, cardboard sled building, a lip sync, crazy games, plenty of great food and snacks and a New Years Eve Party to kick the whole weekend off! We hope you can join us for an awesome weekend together at camp. This is one you will not want to miss! Register below!
