As WinShape Camps for Communities, we could not do what we get to do apart from the involvement and love you have in and for your communities.

While we are not about the numbers, we recognize that these numbers are insightful data points that we can use for celebrating collective Kingdom impact and for evaluating the effectiveness of camp ministry.

Join us in celebrating these incredible wins!
Campers Registered: 18,509
Volunteers Registered: 3,819
Known/Notated Salvations: 1,001
Requested Follow Up Conversations: 2,299

While these numbers reflect the camper responses known about, we also want to recognize that seeds of the Gospel were also planted in each community! As such, we pray that you continue to see relationships built and fruitful ministry in the many weeks ahead!

From the Vault - A Brand New Resource! πŸ—οΈ

From the Vault - A Brand New Resource! πŸ—οΈ

We are eternally grateful for your partnership with us as you strive to bring the gospel to your community and engaging those who have not received a chance to hear the message of Jesus Christ. As your chosen and trusted partner, it is our vision to bring you the highest quality of content, development, and enrichment - not only during the summer but throughout the year as well.

Toward that end, we are introducing a segment that will provide practical tools for your everyday tasks and equip you to enhance your ministry, while integrating our WinShape culture, resources, and brand. As we utilize our preexisting content and repurpose it to fit your current responsibilities, we wanted a term that would resonate with many of you and provide a sense of what this content will entail. To that end, we've decided to call this enrichment resource..... From The Vault!

Here's what that looks like: a new page on our Host Hub Site under the resources tab labeled "From The Vault" that will house documents and ideas around a variety of topics. These will hopefully include large group activities, small group activities, indoor/outdoor activities, potentially worship videos, official motion videos, spiritual thematic content set to fit your Sunday morning structure, and many more! Different from our camp resources, these new enrichment resources are designed to work with you throughout the school year and support your ministry.

We would love to hear from you regarding what resources and topics would be helpful for your ministry and your responsibilities! Click the link below to send a quick form to our team regarding content you'd like to receive from WinShape throughout the school year.

Last but not least, we could not be more grateful to have been able to partner with you this summer! While camp took place for one week at a time in your community, we know that the impact of camp and the reality of the Gospel is shaping lives all year long.

With that being said, if you or someone you know has a story where they have been significantly impacted as a result of WinShape Camps and/or your ministry, we'd love to hear about it!
