CAL PAC CAMPS and retreats
The mission of Cal Pac United Methodist Camps and Retreats is “inspiring the world as passionate
followers of Jesus Christ so that all may experience God’s life-giving love.” Camp and retreat ministry
events offer enriching, life-changing experiences for all who participate.
The Cal Pac Summer Camp programs are offered at five locations throughout Southern California and
are accredited by the American Camp Association. Our staff are screened, trained and provide a mix
of volunteer and paid leadership from the perspective of various ages, cultures and experiences. Our
staff focus on the well-being of the camper first and provide wonderful role-models and mentors for the
participants.
The model is a biblically-based experience of Christian community in the outdoors for a week (3 days for
younger elementary). Time is spent building RELATIONSHIPS with God and one another through small
groups, Bible study, worship, games, hiking, swimming, archery, challenge courses, singing, campfires
and great meals. Campers will have FUN as they grow in faith and self-esteem, learn leadership and
interpersonal skills with peers and adults, and continue on the path of discipleship as they return home.
Our camp programs are open to all kids going into 1st grade through graduating 12th grade. Cal Pac
Camps and Retreats does not discriminate based on race, color, sex (including gender and pregnancy), age,
marital status, national origin, disability (physical or mental), sexual orientation, medical condition, genetic
characteristics, or any other basis prohibited by applicable law.
Each of our events are age-appropriate and offer a variety of challenging and inspiring experiences each
day. The goal is for the camper to: Learn to Live in Christian Community; Grow In One’s Spiritual Journey;
Develop Appreciation for and be good Stewards of Creation; Grow in Self-Esteem & Confidence; Develop
Personal Skills; and Develop as Leaders.

workshops are times where campers can learn a new skill or discuss a new topic.
All our camp games and workshops are age appropriate and friendly.

day after lunch to allow the campers to rest and be still and to
rejuvenate for the afternoon activities.

THEME
Fearless Faith: Courage in Community
This week, the campers will explore what it means to have a “Fearless Faith”. They will focus on being courageous
in order to be fearless. The courage to be a part of a community, the courage to trust in themselves and the
community, the courage to forgive and be forgiven, the courage to take a stand, the courage to do justice, the
courage to change and the courage to connect with other communities.
