As summer fast approaches and we start to prepare for what God is going to do, we wanted to share the Summer 2023 theme and the process of landing on it. We are excited to announce the theme, “Rooted”! Part of the preparation process includes working together as a team to plan the theme and curriculum for the summer. We are currently in year three of a seven-year cycle which starts in Genesis and ends in Revelation. This summer, we ...

Winter Day Camp brought so much fun to our staff and families! The weather was VERY cold, but that did not stop the adventure and excitement of Camp! In addition to the multiple returning families, we were joined by many new families that we now can call friends. The Winter Day Camp theme was "Power Up! Raising Your Game in Life". Through this, campers explored their value and how God loves them for who they are. Not only did the ...

Camp pairs well with a good cup of coffee! At Black Diamond Camp, we LOVE coffee, and it plays a big role in making Camp happen. So of course, the Coffee Shop is one of my favorite features here at Camp. The Coffee Shop is located in the Mt. Baker Dining Hall and is open at all mealtimes. Our menu consists of 4 signature lattes called: The Graham, Campfire, Sasquatch, and Black Bear, each of which vary in sweetness and ...

The Black Diamond Open House, Saturday, September 24, was a great success, hosting over 100! Many had been guests this past summer, with a few new visitors to Black Diamond as well! It was a day full of sunshine, yummy food, and fun activities with the community. Everyone had the opportunity to tour the Camp, have some fun in the gym, and take a dip in the pool before heading home for the day. One of my favorite moments was ...

His happiness is so infectious that you can’t help but laugh or smile being around him. Having Royal and other kids just like him come to camp this summer was a ...

This summer truly has been crazy. We had awesome opportunities to serve groups, both returning or just starting their partnership with Black Diamond, and in a summer that finally felt close to back to normal, we had some amazing times. From dance parties throughout the night, to kickball chaos that was played in 98-degree weather! When I think of this summer and what it can be culminated down to, it would be our last night of Session 7 on our ...

Summer feels like it is just around the corner, but fear not, curriculum is well underway! So, how does Black Diamond Camp come up with what to teach campers every summer? Well, it begins with a rhythm of going through the Bible in 7 years. Our hope is that as we serve campers through our programs, kids will experience the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus. We divide the Bible into seven sections:   Genesis   Exodus – Joshua   ...

You are all being led by a counselor whom you met at the beginning of this week, and they are taking you to your evening gathering.   When you all finally arrive, you see a bunch of tables surrounding the area with food on them, but for some reason, there are no ...
