Summer Camp 2012 Storytelling is as ancient as human communication. From writing on the walls of caves to oral tradition to written words to campfires and dinner tables—stories are how we pass on the meaning and beauty of our history. Stories make us laugh or cry. They make us more aware. They help us understand. They illuminate any shadowy spots in our lives. Jesus used stories to teach his disciples—and us—about what it means to live in God’s realm. The stories are called parables. In Secrets of the Kingdom, campers look to the Master Storyteller, Jesus himself, to discover six different parables and their meanings for our lives today. Come to Pilgrim Pines where we encourage all campers and volunteers to become part of our story. Experience the joy and energy from opening campfire Sunday night, the spiritual experience of vespers and the many special nights we will spend watching the sun set over the mountain. Come and be part of the community; be part of the story!
