"CCM Crossings" is sent out to constituent congregations and supporters to keep you informed about happenings at Camp of the Cross Ministries. We hope it is a helpful resource in support of our camp, together!
Highlights:

• We had over 50 youth at our 7th-9th grade bash! What a great weekend the youth had playing games and learning more about Jesus in the Bible studies! Don’t miss the spring bash!
• Thank you! The first annual Blue Jeans Ball was a huge success! Many thanks to everyone who attended; our sponsors and all who supported the event with food, etc. We raised $8,000! Thank you!
