Ministry Highlights of

Sugar Creek Bible Camp



December 2023

Snow is on the ground but my brain is focused on summer camp. The theme this year is "Created to Be." Check your calendar and start planning for summer camp! I'll be here dreaming of faith, fun, and sun at Sugar Creek Bible Camp.

-Greta

Sugar Creek is planning so many new and exciting programs this year!

• Foresters: A week long day camp experience here on site at SCBC.
• Buckaroos is the new name for Pilgrims, a half week program for those starting their overnight camp experience.
• Jr Wranglers - Level 2: A new 2 week wrangler program for returning JW's who want to learn and help even more with horses.
• LAB Camp - Adventures in STEM: Mix faith and science together and see what exciting new things you learn.
• Valley Olympics is a new sports and games camp for every skill level.
• Trailblazers - Mountain Bike Camp: Bring your bike and helmet along for a ride through wild and diverse trails of the SCBC hills and valleys.
• WYLDE - Wisconsin Youth Leadership Development Event is back for youth groups this summer. Grow personally and get ready to engage the world as young leaders, together!
• LEAD - Leaders Engaged As Disciples is the ultimate leadership and community experience for youth!

Enjoy a drive-thru journey to the nativity with a census, live animals, angels, music, and a manger scene. The Christmas story and caroling will guide you through. Join us in the Manna Center after your drive for Advent crafts, games, as well as coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies to warm you up!

We will also be collecting canned goods for a local food pantry.

Memorials and Honorariums are one of many ways to support Sugar Creek. Thank you to all of you who remembered or honored friends and loved ones with a gift to this Bible Camp ministry.
