We recognize that our campers, despite their young age, have experienced a lot of uncertain times in their lives. We hope the study of this beautiful and well-known poem from Scripture will help them to understand more about living through different seasons and times in our lives. The most important lesson we hope to teach will be, as Bishop Debra Wallace-Padgett has preached on this particular text, “Every season is the right season for making disciples of Jesus Christ.”How to Register:Mail registration form – please call Camp Dickenson for a mail-in form at 276.744.7241Online registration is available from the Home and Summer Camp pages at campdickenson.comCall the Camp Dickenson ofce at 276.744.7241, M-F, 9am -1pm• Buddy Requests• Spirituality at Camp• Life at Camp Dickenson for a camper• Camp Dickenson Staff• Payment Options• Deposit and Refund Policy• Other QuestionsFAQs | Further information on the following topics can be found on our website or by calling our ofce.EVERY SEASONECCLESIASTES 3:1-8Adventure Awaits1
