CAMP TREASURE ISLAND 2024 ~ Bethany Hogan

CTI LOGO Camp Treasure Island is a well-known and much-loved Vacation Bible School that has been held at Springton Lake Church for over 30 years.  It is an annual summer outreach program for not only our church children, relatives, and friends, but it is also open to children in our surrounding community. Over 9,000 children and 3,000 volunteers have experienced CTI in the past.

Camp is for all elementary students entering kindergarten through 5th grade this Fall, and the “Diamonds” class is available for our volunteers’ children who are too young for camp.  There is also a Jr. Counselor Program for students entering grades 6 and 7.

The week of camp is filled with fun games, crafts, songs, snacks, and Bible lessons taught by Child Evangelism Fellowship. The kids have the chance to earn points throughout the week by memorizing Bible verses and dressing up for the themed days as well! Tuesday is Crazy Hat Day, Wednesday is Water Day, Thursday is Mismatched Day, and Friday is Island Day! CTI also works with City Team to donate school supplies throughout the week for children in need in our area.

I have had the privilege of helping to lead CTI these past two years.  I love hearing stories from people about their Camp Treasure Island experiences, and learn how camp had a lasting impact on them.  Some of our current members joined our church because of camp. How cool is that?!

It is humbling to watch God plant gospel seeds at CTI each year, and then later see fruit in lives changed for His Kingdom and glory. As a CTI Team, we want camp to be a fun-filled week, but also a powerful week in the Holy Spirit.

God is doing great things all over the world, and it is incredible to be a part of His action at our Camp Treasure Island.  There is a place for you to serve this summer from July 29-August 2nd.  Training is provided.  Prayerfully consider joining us, and contact me, Bethany Hogan, at camptreasureisland@slpca.org.
