The Dwell Student Ministry Camps 5k trail race through Sharon Woods Metro Park, to benefit students from Dwell Community Church to attend a life-changing summer camp with their peers.
This is a race to the benefit of middle and high school students looking at attend summer camps with friends through Dwell Community Church. These life-changing trips are dearly loved by students but many need assistance to be able to afford them. During these week-long camps, students experience many things for the first time -- visiting a large, outdoor, beautiful space outside of the state with the autonomy to explore & enjoy nature, building deep spiritual friendships, and exploring what they think about God.
See more about the camp here.
