GivingTuesday 2021
THANK YOU for your support during GivingTuesday! Thanks to our donors, we raised $ to help keep camp affordable!

Donors who set up to give a new monthly, quarterly or annual recurring gift before the end of the year are eligible to have all or part of their first gift matched by our giving platform. If you missed out on GivingTuesday, you can still give to Cross Trails Ministry by visiting our website!

Simple & Profound
Camp is a place where the simple can become profound.  Gathering with others, sharing meals, spending time outdoors, staring into a campfire, playing, praying, studying God’s word, singing loudly and sharing moments of silence are all very simple things. They come together through summer camp and retreats to bring the simple message of God’s love to youth, adults and families in deeply profound ways. This Christmas, please prayerfully consider a gift to Cross Trails.  Your donation will help to make simple and profound encounters with God possible for thousands in 2022. You can give online by visiting our website.

What Does This Mean?!
Confirmation Retreat on the Ten Commandments
Camp Chrysalis
January 21-23, 2022
Youth in Grades 5-8—Group Registration Only
Interactive experiences will enhance your congregational confirmation instruction as your youth explore the Ten Commandments. Everyone will gain a bigger view of the church as they play, study, and grow in faith with other confirmands. At least one adult sponsor is required to be present the entire time to help youth make the connection between camp and church. The retreat will be from Friday to Sunday morning. However, to accommodate those who must return to their congregations for Sunday worship, everything that happens after Saturday dinner will be recreational fellowship. 
Cost
Early Bird Cost: $110 Youth and Adults
Cost increases by $10 after January 7th.
Registration ends on January 14th.
