About this blog
Brian Frick is the Associate for Camp and Conferences Ministries with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). He has been involved in camp and conference ministry since high school. For the past ten years, Brian has served as program director of Johnsonburg Center in New Jersey, Westminster Woods in California, and Heartland Center in Missouri.
Camp and conference ministry compliments and partners with other ministry aspects of our church to foster faith development and reflection. As our communities and our church changes, our ministries need to grow and adapt with creative and emergent programming and leadership to meet new realities.
These blogs entries, though varied, are intended to spur thought and conversation around the opportunities and challenges before us.

It's working at The Woods
I have the blessing of writing this blog looking out over beautiful 150 foot Redwood trees with 150 campers singing Salt and Light and King Jesus and dancing in the meadow! What a blast!
I'm serving as a speaker for Sherwood Forest camp with 90 campers (4-6th graders) and 15 young adult leaders.
The joy in the faces of the campers always reminds me of the importance of camping. Allowing kids the space to be themselves, experience being loved for who they are and not for what they can do, and to learn about Jesus Christ while having fun are essentials of healthy faith development.
That's happening this week and I'm overjoyed to be a part of it.
The next several blogs will expand on this experience.
