Another Way cover

The theme for the 2025 Camp Season is “Another Way.” The Florida Region is once again using ecumenical materials created by Inside Out. Our own Melissa Frantz (Associate Minister at the Drive In Church in Daytona Beach) is one of the authors.


This year our campers of all ages will explore some of the ways God invites us to see our world in a new way and address opportunities and challenges with new perspectives.


From the introduction to the material: “Jesus often confronted the world around him with another way of being and by his example, we are reminded that God always invites us to reimagine who we are and how we do things.”

Throughout the week we will explore familiar biblical stories such as Saul (Paul)’s encounter with Ananias from Acts, and John the Baptist from the Gospel of Matthew as well as some less well-known stories like Numbers 27, which recounts the bold request from the daughters of Zelphehad.
