Mission and Service Stories: Moments of Connection
“I found a salamander!” someone exclaims as other campers rush over to see. At Mission and Service partner Cave Springs Camp in Beamsville, ON, children enjoy moments of connection with nature and each other. In such a peaceful setting, the beauty of nature can inspire a deep appreciation for the earth and a desire to take care of it.
Your support of Mission and Service allows children to continue connecting in nature at United Church camps.
