A game of nine square at High School BaseCamp.
As we move into the heart of summer, anticipation builds for people of all ages as they look forward to their time here at Zephyr Point. As you would guess, kids exemplify this the best! Just this past Sunday, one of our staff ran into a junior higher and high schooler that have been coming to Zephyr Point for six years. Even though each of them has been many times, they can hardly wait for camp to start. We love seeing eager and energetic campers coming knowing that God will meet them here in a special way.
Here are some comments about last week’s Zephyr Point Family Camp:
- “It was a vacation with a purpose.”
- “We loved how well taken care of we were.”
- “The teaching was inspiring and encouraging.”
- “Jer (the speaker) gave us direction on where we go with our faith in a broken world.”
Thank you for praying for Zephyr Point. Here are some current items for your awareness:
- Praise for how well Family Camp went last week.
- Pray for the 29 high school students at our first High School Base Camp this week as they are challenged by God’s Word in the midst of the fun and adventure of camp.
- Pray for the 75 campers in this week’s Day Camp that God will touch many of their hearts with the Good News of Jesus.
- Safety is always first and foremost for all of our campers, guests, and staff. Keep praying for protection.
- The fire sprinkler installation at Dobbins Hall is completed! We look forward to starting on the next phase this fall when we add ADA bathrooms, a small kitchen, and storage at the north end of the main room.
- Praise for the positive comments and fun fellowship at our new Tuesday morning pancake and bacon breakfast for our cabin guests.
- Please pray for the 10 groups coming in the next five days that people will be encouraged in their relationship with Jesus.
- Registrations are already coming in for our annual Autumn Banquet, Sunday evening, September 24.
We are very grateful for your interest and prayer support.

Our mission:
Zephyr Point Presbyterian Conference Center exists to serve as an extension of the ministry of the church and to provide a place apart where God’s Spirit may illuminate hearts and minds as they are exposed to the Gospel and the claims of Jesus Christ, and enable Christians to communicate and relate their faith to the world in which they live.
