Facilities should not be the ADVENTURE at Camp

Every so often, a group walks through our doors and reminds us what camp is really about. Every November, Copper Mountain Lodge is invaded by a local youth group. They’ve been coming to camp for years—not because everything is shiny and new, but because something meaningful happens here when students step away from the usual noise and make space for faith, friendships, and fun. If you’ve ever watched a youth group arrive at camp, you know the sound: doors thumping, ...
