As in any Challenge Summer camp, there were the daily prayers, conferences and team building activities for the girls to grow in their faith and find their inspiration to go out into the world. The camp was directed by a great team of consecrated women, moms, volunteers and camp counselors.

The Ohio Camp Inspire had some unique camp experiences that are fondly remembered by the campers and shared by the camp director Ally Wheeler,

The girls had an awesome time on two “creeking” adventures, discovering God’s amazing creation including his little creatures crawdads! Camp ended with a memorable dance party with sparklers and glow sticks shining in the night like we should shine knowing how much God loves us! It was truly a great week!”
