Bear Creek Camp Staff Commissioning
On Monday June 9, the 2025 Bear Creek Camp Summer Staff were commissioned in a special worship service grounded in creation, community, and call. Bishop Christopher deForest led the commissioning litany, reminding staff of their sacred work and encouraging them to walk gently and boldly in faith. This summer’s theme, All Together, reflects how they are connected like invisible strings of care and purpose. Surrounded by prayer, song, and the beauty of Bear Creek, the new season was launched with energy, gratitude, and God's blessing.
There is still time to register for the 2025 summer camp season!
Additional ways to prioritize youth and support Bear Creek Camp, even if you’re not able to send youth this summer.

Your congregation can subsidize the cost of camp for families in your community by creating a sponsorship code. Codes are unique to your church, and you decide how much per camper your church is contributing. To set up your church's sponsorship code for Summer 2025, please contact by email or call the camp office at 570.472.3741.
