Greetings from Tower Hill and Pilgrim ParkTENDERFOOT CAMP

You’ve heard of the Taste of Chicago? Tenderfoot Camp is a taste of camp! For 48 hours with just two nights away from home, Kindergarten through 2nd grade children experience camp. 3rd graders who are not quite ready for a full week camp can attend as well. We experience all that camp has to offer— swimming, campfire, hiking, crafts, archery, s’mores, great food and new friends - all this with a God-centered theme. Tenderfoot Camp is a great beginning!

We have a campfire every night, an all camp dance, an all camp talent show, and on the last night we walk together to the top of Vesper Hill with candles for our closing ceremony.

Godstock is Christmas in July. Godstock is THE GODSTOCK GAMES! Godstock is the big Friday night dance! Godstock is fun, serious, maybe even a little educational, simply the best according to nine out of ten Godstock alumni. Godstock is making new friends and building friendships that will last a life time. Godstock is learning how to live as a Christian in today’s world.

Come join us for a 23-hour get-a-way to relax while engaging God’s Holy Spirit. It’s an awesome time to reconnect with old friends, make new friends, and even bring along some friends. Our theme for this coming fall hasn’t been decided yet as we consider some excellent suggestions from last year’s women. However, there is always plenty of time to unwind, study the Bible even in experiential ways, get to know one another, walk the labyrinth or just take a walk or a nap, and shop the great selection from Global Villages. Remember, even Jesus needed to get away for a while, so he could be fully present the rest of the time! Hope to see you at Pilgrim Park!!
