CCCA Illinois held their annual Sectional conference this week. Walacamp staff joined 50 camp professionals for times of fellowship, learning, and networking with each other to share new ideas and strengthen partnerships. Walcamp's Ben Konrad facilitated a round-table session on Outdoor Education as one of several opportunities for professional growth. Keynote speaker Lon Alderman, of Acorn Ministries, challenged participants to use the conference as a time to re-charge their emotional, physical, and spiritual batteries and to refresh, reflect on what God has done in the last yer, and to re-focus on what His priorities and plans are for the future.
The event took place at Camp Reynaldswood in Dixon, IL. Other notable events included a passing on of the Section President's gavel, a snow-woman named iLean, late-night cross-country skiiing, an silent-turned-live auction, times of conversation and prayer, and highly competative games of Settlers of Cataan and Ticket to Ride, as camp staff mapped out their devious plans on how to take over the world.
The Christian Camping and Conference Association (CCCA) is a national network of organizations seeking to build partnerships between Christian camp professionals. For more information on future Illinois CCCA events visit http://illinois.ccca.com/.
