Our first ever summer at our new home in Allegan has come to a close, and we're looking back with gratitude and amazement at the incredible ways the Lord blessed each week of camp.

If you've been wondering how this summer at our new home went, we have an inside look for you in this new podcast episode! This episode features three of our HYC staff — Tommy Slocum, Brooke Hall, and Haley Lauterwasser — who share their thoughts on how it all went.

Just because camp is over, doesn’t mean that what happened this summer stays on these grounds. You are heading into this next season with the power of the Lord & we can’t wait to see how the decisions you all made this summer impact your lives.

WE LOVE & MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH!! 🤍

HYC STAFF 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣

What an incredible summer serving the Lord and our campers together. This staff worked so incredibly hard to make this summer happen and what a special summer it was on our new grounds 🤍

From counseling campers to late night devos, playing basketball and jumping into the lake, singing worship and playing games, our staff had the best time ever sharing the love of Christ with our campers. We are so grateful for each of them!

Shoutout Rebecca Adkins & Mary VanHouten for the amazing photos!

One year ago today was the first time I walked the grounds at what has now become Hiawatha’s new home in Allegan. There was a ton of work that needed to take place but there was even more potential for what could be.

Looking back, it's amazing to see what God has done in such a short time. The renovations completed over the past nine months and the fact that camp has successfully operated this summer are nothing short of a miracle. We've watched lives changed, had 17 campers come to Christ, and countless young people grow in their faith.

If your schedule allows, we would love to show you firsthand the renovations at camp on August 29 between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Come enjoy some food, see what you’ve helped us achieve the last nine months and get a firsthand view of what we hope to accomplish in the year ahead.

Dear Friends, One year ago today was the first time I walked the grounds at what has now become Hiawatha’s new home in Allegan MI. There was a ton of work that needed to take place but there was even more potential for what could be. We prayerfully made the decision to take over Camp Kaski
