We can't wait to see you this summer for a few days of fun and faith. We will spend time making new friends and worshipping God through music, crafts, prayer, and nature. Camp Emmaus is a wonderful sanctuary that fosters peace, love, and understanding and we are so excited for you to join us.
2022's theme is "Creation Speaks," and we will explore different methods of prayer, such as art and music,
Campers stay in cabins overnight and have access to our swimming pool and other recreation equipment. There's a craft cabin for being creative, trails for hiking and a lake for fishing. Directors and counselors plan a schedule full of activities. Our kitchen staff can accomodate campers' dietary needs and a nurse is on site during the duration of camp.
Many life long friendships have started with time spent at Camp Emmaus.

NYC is coming up July 23- 28, 2022, at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. This powerful event, held every four years, will have the theme "Foundational," drawn from Colossians 2:5-7, for the 2022 edition.
Youth in grades 9-12 and one year out of high school this school year (2021-2022) are eligible to attend, along with advisors. More details on the conference can be found at https://www.brethren.org/yya/nyc/. Please spread the word to any youth and advisors in your congregation and other ministries who might want to attend.
Illinois/Wisconsin District will work at organizing a bus trip to the event for our attendees. Gio Romero, from the York Center congregation, is part of the planning team, district executive Walt Wiltschek is one of the worship coordinators, and many other members of our district will be involved in various roles. The other worship coordinators include Bekah Houff, Cindy Laprade Lattimer, and Shawn Flory Replogle. Jacob Crouse is coordinating music.
