An Official Statement by the PCCCA Board Concerning Summer Programs at Our Camps and Conference Centers – April 27
The mission of the Presbyterian Church Camp and Conference Association is to equip leaders for vibrant and sustainable ministries. Each PCCCA camp and conference center is unique. They vary in size, location, finances, and focus. A decision for one camp or conference center may or may not be appropriate for another. Currently, many camp leaders and wider leadership are making decisions related to their summer programming in 2020 from how to operate safely in the midst of a pandemic all the way to suspending all summer operations. The decisions made by our camp and conference centers should be expected to be as varied as the sites themselves. During this COVID-19 crisis, PCCCA’s goal is to provide resources and support for our members so that each member site can make the best decision possible according to their unique circumstances. Our prayers are with each of these important ministries.
A Zoom Gathering for our Camp and Conference Leaders is Held Every Third Thursday
Our monthly Zoom calls are held almost every third Thursday of the month at 11:00am EDT. These Zoom call with your fellow camp and conference leaders will cover a specific topic, as well as offer mutual support. We hope you will be a part of this conversation. You can join us for the Zoom call listed below at https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82867576883?pwd=Bu95hdEjBXbrrMgdHxeqrmwBo144vT.1. If needed, the passcode is 984320. Below are the dates and topics for our upcoming calls. Our Zoom Call on Thursday, October 15 at 11:00am EasternOur topic will be alternative revenue streams. What is your site doing to generate income these days? Are you trying something different? This Zoom call will allow our camp and conference directors to learn from one another about revenue beyond traditional summer camp and retreat groups. Come ready to share what’s working, what you’re experimenting with, and what new ideas you’re considering – from special events to partnerships, programs, facility rental ideas, and other creative ways to make the most of your site and resources. Together, we’ll explore how camps are finding new sources of income and share ideas that might help support your ministry. Our Zoom Call on Thursday, November 19 at 11:00am EasternThere will be no call this month due to the date being so close to the Campfire Collective Annual Conference. Our Zoom Call on Thursday, December 10 at 11:00am EasternThis call will be a little earlier in the month due to the Christmas rush. The title of our session is “Why Girls-Only Spaces Still Matter.” Our guest speaker will be Wendy Hammond, the Executive Director of GEMS Girls’ Clubs. What can gender-specific programming offer girls that may be harder to cultivate in a mixed-gender environment? Drawing from GEMS Girls’ Clubs’ nearly 70 years of ministry experience and the recent development of GEMS Outdoors, Wendy will explore how intentional girls-only spaces can foster belonging, confidence, leadership, spiritual growth, and a willingness to try new things. She will also share what GEMS has learned about designing outdoor experiences around girls’ needs without reinforcing limiting stereotypes. Participants will leave with practical ideas for thoughtfully incorporating gender-specific opportunities into their own camp settings. Please join us for this time of fellowship and support among your fellow camp and conference leaders. If you have a topic suggestion for a future call, please contact Joel Winchip.
