Join us in Praying for Summer 2021!
After missing last summer due to the pandemic, we are more eager and excited than ever to be opening our gates for Summer 2021! It is going to be the very best, and we are counting down the days until we are all back in Tuxedo again.
As you know, prayer is a big deal at camp, and we spend a lot of time praying as a camp community each summer (at Morning Assembly, before meals, during nightly devotions, and more). We also spend a lot of time praying BEFORE camp even starts, and we are hoping you will join us this spring! Our Head Staff team spends hours praying over the littlest details of the summer; before we talk about something, we pray about it, and it makes all the difference. Why not pray along with us as we anticipate the amazing summer to come?
Below you’ll find a simple list of five different categories that you can use to pray alongside us. You can pray for one category a month, or pray for all of the things every month. Feel free to add your own camp prayers to your list as well! Prayer is powerful, and we’d love to join together a LARGE group of amazing camp friends to pray over Greystone this spring. Pray with us!
