Quoted Without Comment....

Excerpts from comments written on session evaluations during last summer

from youth campers:

C I loved my counselors! They were so nice, caring, and friendly! I also loved the folk dancing, the overnight, and the interest groups. They are always so fun!

C I enjoyed this year so much. I grew so much deeper in my faith.... Scenery is still amazing! Thanks!

C It was an experience I will not forget. I am so grateful for Christikon because you meet new people, friendships grow deeper and you grow in your faith. I had a wonderful time.

C Thank you for allowing me to experience the beauty of God’s creation and to bond with these amazing, passionate people! This experience helped me grow in my faith and I am now in love with backpacking!!

C I loved it - it was a great experience. I became a lot closer to God and I hope your teachings will let me follow God even when I am not here

C Amazing - pretty much describes everything.

from parents of youth campers:

C The one thing that my daughter was impressed with was that everyone was encouraging to her about trying new things.

C My daughter had an extraordinary time. Her faith and her confidence both grew.

C Our daughter... has become friends with a variety of kids and now, entering junior high, it has been great for her to have familiar faces to see and camp stories to reminisce about. It has been a very positive experience.

C My daughter really learned about serving others at camp. She came home and set up a youth babysitting night at church where the parents can drop off the children and have a free night out!

C My son came home with a completely different outlook on life and what it means to have Jesus in our lives. He told us many wonderful stories about what he did there. Thank you all so much for this wonderful camp that you have provided for all of our children.

from pastors, youth directors and adult advisors at youth camp sessions:

C What an experience for our youth. I saw people grow in their faith, come out of their shells and have an experience of a lifetime.

C I am in love with Christikon. As a first timer, I did not know what to expect and what I found was a camp with pure hearted people, a God focused center, and a lot of personal growth opportunities.

C I still consider this the premier camp of the ELCA. Keep up the great work. Great counselors, great site, great experience. What I appreciate most is that you support the church instead of trying to tell it how it should be.

from family and adult campers:

C Thank you for the wonderful experience and renewing of what should and can be priorities in life.

C The staff is superb! We’ve had a great week. Thanks for wonderful hospitality and the spiritual renewing experiences. We have appreciated the children’s activities and the time for adult fellowship... We all have experienced the body of Christ in this place and have been renewed to carry it with us in to the world.
