SUMMER CAMP / OUTREACH 2025
SHARPEN – Becoming Who You Were Made to Be
SHARPEN” represents the seven key dimensions of personal growth and leadership development we aim to nurture in every camper and volunteer. Through immersive activities, reflection, and community, each element of this theme becomes a stepping stone to purpose, impact, and transformation.
This year’s outreach theme, SHARPEN, speaks to a powerful journey of personal growth, discovery, and purpose. Just like a tool must be sharpened to be effective, we too must be refined - mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and in our capacity to serve others.
