Did you ever think, "There ought to be camp for adults!"?

We thought about that too.

This summer we are offering Adirondack Weekends  (Thursday night-Sunday AM) for groups from 10-15 in size. Groups will stay in Fowler's Chi Rho House each night and be guided on hiking and canoeing trips during the day. Meals will be provided by Fowler. See below for a mock up of a typical weekend.

Because we want to see each of our weekends fill, you and your group can enjoy this for only $200 per person. Minimum group size is 10. And group discounts are available. Call: 518-631-6789 to find out more!

Shalom from Zach and Analisa Trumble;

We have been involved in summer camp ministries in Michigan for several years.  Zach has worked at Fowler on wilderness staff in the summers of '09 and '10. This will be Analisa's first summer at Camp Fowler, though has been involved in other camps.

Zach aspires to be a mountain man with a big beard. He really enjoys hiking and his favorite camp activity is canoeing. He is proud to say he co-led the first ever, two week, Epic Canoe Challenge at Camp Fowler in 2010! He loves Jesus, people and trees, in that order, and strives to connect the three as much as possible. In the off-season Zach is the Youth Director at Second Reformed Church in Zeeland, MI, a photographer, and a cello teacher.

Analisa was once the kid who cried when being left at camp, but it didn't take long to want to come back over and over. She loves every project that can be called Do-It-Yourself and is as thrifty as the day is long. Analisa has a passion for discipleship and ministering to the church body. She intentionally practices the art of listening and practicality. Her favorite camp activity is arts & crafts!  In the off season Analisa works as a Kindergarten teacher and a photographer. 

We have grown to love being a part of camp ministries through seeing lives changed and minds transformed. The natural world that God has created testifies to the healing nature of God and we enjoy the face-to-face encounters with Jesus that seem to happen so easily at camp. We are very excited to be leading the Adirondack Weekends this year and seeking the peace of God together with you.
