Every now and then I will meet someone in a later stage of life who spent one or more summers at Camp Henry as a child. I love to hear their stories and answer their questions about whether or not we still play this or sing that, it is great! Very often at some point in the conversation the person will say something like this, "The best years of my life were spent at Camp Henry! The values I live my life by or run by business by were formed and solidified at camp!" Wow! That is a huge statement and for us a huge responsibility!



In our camp language we talk about "changing the world one person at a time" and also about camp being a place that offers everyone a real life glimpse of the world God intends for us and invites us to help create. This is a world where everyone is equal. A world where we seek to be loving, full of joy, peaceful, patient, kind, and good to each other! We

seek to celebrate our diversity and discover and unite around the things we all need to experience, like the fact that God loves each of us exactly how we are and that He offers us the best possible way to live! Oh yeah, we are going to have a TON of FUN too!



I believe these are the values the people I mentioned above are referring to. For 73 years Camp Henry has been a place that seeks to share the light and love of God with everyone who comes to camp and then encourages them to not just have a great week and return back to their "normal" life but instead to take this light with them and share it with the world they live in! To bring camp to the neighborhood! To change the world!
