Church Campout 2023
Jesus spent significant time with His disciples, and it changed the world! We believe that time together as a church family will have a significant positive impact on our lives and community. Even if you can only come for a day, we hope you will make every effort to be part of this year’s campout.
Where: Camp Discovery in Red Bluff is right on the banks of the Sacramento River. Hiking paths, shady grass, and covered picnic areas will provide ample space for fun and fellowship. There are also bathroom and shower facilities, sleeping cabins, RV & tent sites. Hotel
accommodations are available within 3 miles.
What: We’ll have some deliberate free time as well as some planned recreation and discipleship opportunities.
Fishing, Hiking and Kayaking (bring your own boat) are just some of the adventures available.
How much: We are asking that families contribute $20 per person to help offset the cost of food. All other costs will be covered by the church (hotel accommodations not included).
Help: YES! You can help. We will be asking for help with meal prep, planning, activities, leading small groups, etc.
