Need to get-away? Do you remember the commercials that said, “Take me away?!” Reflecting that life sometimes gets so busy, so stressful, and so difficult, that we just want some time to get-away. Time to reflect, renew, and re-focus on the things are most important in our lives. September 17-18 at Camp La Vida will be that time for women across South Carolina.
The cost is $40 per person if you register by August 16th and $50 after. That includes meals and lodging in cabins. Bring your linens, blanket, pillow, towel or sleeping bag, etc. and don’t forget a flashlight. Of course you will need your Bible.
Check-in will begin on Friday afternoon at 4 PM. Supper will be served on Friday at 5:30 PM and the retreat will end with lunch on Saturday. Plan now for you and your friends to come and have fun, food and fellowship. Meet missionaries and learn what their life is like on the mission field. Be renewed and refocused to God’s call.

2010 Camp La Vida Camper Essays Read what campers say in their own words about their experiences at Camp La Vida. These essays, written by campers, were winners of an essay contest held each session. The essays are judged by the missionaries and programs guests, who also provide prizes from their area of service for the winners. Below is what Kyle had to say. You can find more of the winner's essays here.
Kyle, June 16, Age 12, Cabin 16: “I’m glad I came to Camp La Vida because I get to learn more about God with other girls that I can connect with. I love this camp so much. I have had a lot of fun with all my new good friends. I love the fact that these good people care so much as to build a camp so that girls can get to know God better and be able to make new friends. I have always known who God was but never really knew how much God really cares about us. I ‘m glad I came because I get to meet missionaries and get to know what it is like to be somewhere else and to teach God’s word. I think everything that this camp is doing great. Unfortunately this is my last year here at camp because my church does not do Acteens. I’m glad I came to Camp La Vida because I get to learn more about our Lord God in heaven.”
