Camp Life: Taking Students To Camp vs. Leading Them In Camp | 204

Comm Talk by Geek Devotions

It’s been a WILD few weeks! In this special episode of Comm Talk, Dallas and Celeste dive into their experiences taking students to Louisiana Student Summer Camp and then leading students as they put on their own kids camp called Hero Academy. From spiritual breakthroughs to marshmallow debates (burned or roasted?!), this episode is packed with stories, laughter, and powerful lessons in discipleship. Whether you're a parent, youth leader, or camp survivor, this one’s for you!
Several times we give a special thanks to Charlie Allo, Director of Next Gen Ministries in Louisiana for the Assemblies of God. He and his team made Summer Camp incredibly special. For more info about Next Gen Ministries in Louisiana visit their website: https://www.laaog.org/students
