Boys Camp - Day 1

In 1936, when Cameron MacArthur ventured north over troubled waters and settled Upper Peninsula Bible Camp, he would have never imagined what would be occurring 79 years later...

...he would never have known 88 young men would be met by 25 leaders ready to demonstrate what Biblical manhood is all about. 

...he would never have known about a raft, 100 yards off the water front, challenging the best swimmers to earn the coveted blue band. 

...he would never have known about boys jumping up and down, screaming at the top of their lungs, to a Peter, Paul and Mary song played through a distortion pedal. 

...he would never have known a Mexican fiesta would make a really awesome camp dinner. 

...he would never have known a gifted communicator of the Word, George Farber, could captivate the attention of boys with the Gospel message (using an overhead projector!). 

Cameron MacArthur was given a holy canvas to start a beautiful painting which is still being filled today. He had no idea what the completed picture of his vision would look like. Neither do we, but we are splashing on as much color as we can during Boys Camp 2015. 

Stay tuned as we give you a glimpse into the work Christ is doing this week with your son, grandson or brother. It's gonna be wild.
