On this episode, we're excited to sit down with Cara Meredith, a lifelong camp enthusiast, experienced camp speaker, and author of the book Church Camp.
This book has been stirring in many ways for Christian camp and camp-connected leaders, and we are grateful for the opportunity to sit down with Cara to hear the heart and story behind this book and the impact it is having. We'll ask some big questions and peel back what we can learn that can help us connect with our campers in ways that create safe spaces, authentic relationships, and positive, healthy impact.
Plus, our #StatOfTheWeek and #QuickQampQuestion connect directly to our conversation, reminding us that camps cover a broad spectrum of values, theological perspectives, and ways of being camp, and that broad brush strokes and big assumptions can do harm to us and to those we serve.
Connect with Cara, learn more about the book, and find her online at the links below.
