The First Church Camps & Retreats Committee would like to share these upcoming opportunities at Camp Indianola with you.
Volunteer Work Weekend
Camp Indianola’s next volunteer work weekend will be January 14-16. Arrive anytime Friday night so you’re ready for projects to begin first thing Saturday, and then depart Sunday afternoon. We’ll work hard during the day and enjoy each other’s company at night, including a campfire with s’mores and a Sunday time of worship.
We have a whole range of projects for all ages and abilities. If you have a specific set of skills that would be particularly helpful, please let us know so that we can get you linked up with projects that are good fits for you!
Housing and meals (Saturday breakfast through Sunday lunch) will be provided. We will be practicing COVID precautions, including wearing face masks when indoors or close to a large group, and sleeping with one family per room.
Sign up so that we can have food and housing prepared for you and your family, by contacting us at office@campindianola.org or (360)207-1519.
Adult Spiritual Retreats
Camp Indianola’s adult spiritual retreats are designed to help individuals at all levels of spiritual formation go deeper and grow in spiritual maturity.
Our next “Diving Deep into the Bible” retreat will be January 7-9. We’ll be taking a deep dive into the Book of James. James insists that a life filled with right words and right thoughts is not nearly enough. A Christian life is lived out in one’s relationship to the world, especially in relationship to those who are least powerful in society. James is deeply interested in seeing a world and a society transformed, and challenges us to continue this work. This retreat will dive into this wonderful book of the Bible. We will read it in its entirety, make sense of what it’s saying, and dig into the challenges it presents us as modern Christians. This retreat will be lead by Pastor Colin Cushman, director of Camp Indianola, and an engaging and passionate teacher.
