Eighty-four campers are attending this year from the KC and Saint Joe metros, as well as the Lake of the Ozarks, along with 55 chaperones and various staff.
The theme for this year is “Radiant Joy.”
Pickert says they are basing the lessons off of Pope Benedict XVI’s declaration of the “Year of the Faith,” running from October 11th through the end of November.
