Why do we call them camps? 

Because going to a camp means that you take yourself away from the daily life you live and you experience something more.  You put some effort into seeking God in new ways.  We aren't distracted by life at "home" but concentrated or wholly focused on one thing.  Our one thing is God and no matter how long or short our CAMP might be, we put our best in learning, creating, sharing, and growing in our faith.  We are going to camp to encounter Christ.  And if it is in our town, down the road, across the state, or further away we are investing in a better relationship with Christ for ourselves and our community.  That is why we go to camp.  That is why we call it camp.
