Camp Beech Grove
Camp Beech Grove welcomes children (rising Kindergarten to rising 3rd Grade) who want to connect with each other and nature, learn about the outdoor world in which they live, and have time to play in the forest. The children will have an opportunity to experience the sacredness of all people, plants and animals. We’ll do yoga, hear sacred stories, sing, dig in the dirt, have hands-on nature and science activities, play, and learn the ways of compassionate communication. Our church is in the midst of the Central UCC Nature Preserve: a forest sanctuary for people, native plants and pollinators. The camp will have weekly sessions, Monday to Friday, from 9:00am to 4:00pm, June 1 to July 10.The week of June 8-12, we will also have a rising 4th & 5th Grade group.

(Walter Brueggemann) This five-session Living the Questions (LtQ) DVD series comes with a warning: “This program may be hazardous to your church, society and the American way of life, and could potentially help restore the meaning of covenant.” Come ready for a discussion that will challenge and point toward freedom at the same time.
