We invite you to give thanks for this gift of camp, the joy of campers, the dedication of staff, and for all who have been blessed by Bear Creek. Please include the following prayers in your worship life throughout this year and join us in celebrating this milestone together.

50th Anniversary Prayer – for worship any Sunday in 2024, especially appropriate on July 7, 2024
Creator God, from generation to generation you have blessed us with your presence in the wilderness. We give you thanks now for 50 years of worshipping, praising, and learning about you at Bear Creek Camp. We give you thanks for the predecessor camps of Ministerium, Miller, and Hagen who provided camp experiences for generations before that blazed the trail for Bear Creek. We ask your blessings on Bear Creek: the land, the campers, and the staff. May it continue to be a place where faith grows, friendships form, and you, God, are present.
