Blog posts and stories from Rock-N-Water about Christian Camps.
Come and sit with me for a moment and let me tell you something that's been on my mind a lot lately. Today I was spending some time at my favorite place in camp; the Indian grinding rock (if you've not been to our camp before, it's a big rock that overlooks the river). I [...]
God created us and saved us so we could be in a relationship with Him. You probably know from experience that communication is an important part of every relationship. Communication is also important for our relationship with God. But have you ever thought about how we communicate with God? Through prayer! Prayer is one of [...]
Today I want to talk about one of my favorite parts of Rock-N-Water: The Quiet Time! If you have ever been to Rock-N-Water, then you are probably familiar with what we call a “quiet time.” Maybe you’ve thought that this time is simply a way for us guides to have a break from all of our duties. (And I [...]

During the spring months, we offer a fun and immersive living history program for 4th graders and their parents. Our camp time-travels back in time to the year of 1854 [...]
Do you have a place that you go to when nothing in your life seems to be going right? A quiet place where it can be just you and God. Maybe this place is your bedroom, maybe it’s your closet. It could be somewhere outdoors. A forest surrounded by trees, or on top of a [...]
Have you ever noticed that children view this world through a different lens than we do? They say the silliest things and then they say the most profound things. They go through life with a contagious sense of wonder. The simplest things fill them with amazement. They are captivated by everything that is around them [...]
What do you do when God calls you to do something you’re afraid of? Do you run away and hide? Do you avoid the problem and try to find a safer way to go around it? Or do you face the problem head-on, fear and all? I’m sure you’re familiar with fear. It’s something we [...]
