Summer Camp 2022 - What's In A Name?

May 12, 2022 - 2:48pm

"What's In A Name?" is the theme for our summer camp experience this year! We'll learn about Christ's grace when we make mistakes and how God's love greets us when we open our hearts. As we grown, learn, and discover our true self, we define our own name and found our place as a child of God. 

Downers Grove First United Methodist Church is offering this summer camp experience for children and youth from 2nd to 9th grade at the Wesley Woods Retreat Center, Williams Bay, WI from June 27-30. The grade listed is the grade the student will be entering in the fall of 2022.

Camp lasts only one week - but what campers take home can last a lifetime! Camp offers children and youth with the opportunity for fellowship with other children, youth, and adults from the church and community. It offers time to experience God's creation while exploring nature. Camp is also a wonderful chance to experience Christian community and develop skills for Christian living. 

Space is limited, so register early! Registration is online this year. Please click here for the Registration form and to find out more about the camp.

Registration deadline: June 15

A nonrefundable $50 deposit is due at the time of registration with payment in full due by June 25. Scholarships and payment plans are available.
