A dad and his son went on their first camping trip together. After they got all their stuff set up, they enjoyed a great time around the camp fire then bedded down for the night. Later in the night the slumbering dad was awakened by his son.
“Dad, when you look up what do you see?” Groggily, the dad replied, “I see millions of stars.”
“So Dad, looking at all these stars, what’s it all mean?
Seizing the moment, the Dad laid back and pondered before he spoke. “Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies, and potentially billions of planets. Chronologically, it appears to be just about midnight. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. But most important, theologically, it tells us that the Lord is great and mighty and that he must be a loving God to be so good to such small and relatively insignificant creatures like us. What does it tell you, son?”
“Well Dad,” the boy replied. “I’m no outdoorsman, but I think it tells me that somebody has stolen our tent.”
Now let’s unpack the details.
Father & Son Camping Trip
All fathers and their sons (ages 10 to 21) are invited to our father & son overnight camping trip.
Where we are going
The camping trip will take place at the Gifford Pinchot State Park located near
When we are going
We will depart from Covenant Fellowship church at 12:00 p.m. on Friday, July 18 and will return around 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 19.
Who can come?
Any father and son(s) ages 10 to 21 who attend Covenant Fellowship can participate in the camping trip.
What are we doing?
Beside camping, we'll be doing games together, benefiting from teaching from the family life pastors, having time together just fathers and sons, and making great memories. You can view the basic schedule here.
What Do I need to bring?
Each father/son is responsible for their own camping gear and food. The camping is tent camping only, no trailers are allowed. We've created a suggested packing list to make it easy to pack.
Are we car pooling?
No car pooling will be organized through the church, but we encourage fathers & sons to hook up with other fathers and sons who are attending and ride together to benefit from the fellowship during the trip. You will need to plan to arrive at 2:00 p.m. Those who wish to participate in a caravan may do so by meeting at the church. We will depart from the church at 12:00 p.m.
How can I go & what will it cost me?
The cost for registration and the camp site is free, but you'll want to bring cash for activities. We do need to know who is attending so we can register with the camp. Please complete the Registration Form on or before June 30.
