The Task:
To create a regional ministry plan for outdoor ministry that takes into consideration the financial, geographic and organizational realities that we face.
Finances: We are currently losing $20,000 per year on outdoor ministries.
KBY has lost over $200,000 over 20 years.
WKDH has serious infrastructure problems.
Geography: We are a diverse state, spread out across many miles.
We have a "West Area" that does not always feel included.
Organization: We do not have a current staff person working on outdoor ministry.
We do not have a long-range ministry plan for outdoor ministry.
The Team:
Former campers, parents of campers, grandparents of campers are working together with people who have counseled, directed and keynoted camps at both Kum-ba-Ya and WaKon'Da-Ho.

Your Role:
Help the Kentucky Camp Futures Taskforce by sharing your comments on information posted on this site. Get us started by sharing a story that explains one of the following statements. Your stories are a gift!
*At camp, I see God.
*At camp, I learn how God sees me.
You can also help by asking questions. Your question may be the one no one has thought of yet. Your question may spark a creative solution. Your question is a gift!
The last thing you can do is pray. No one will make any decision in this process that is not done in prayer. We believe that God is at the center of all we do and that God's Spirit moves in and about us in ways we do not understand. Your prayers are a gift!
