Experience All that God has Waiting for You.

 

24 Hours a Day with God:

Balance is the key word: listening and participating—action and quiet — giving out and taking in.

 

Listening:

Morning meditations, morning and evening talks, times of group silence, time to be alone with God.

 

Creative Experience:

Self-discovery and release through creativity in partnership with God using the media of activities such as art, singing, writing, drama, and music, where no skill is required but a willingness to experiment is.

 

Rhythms:

Devotion in motion.  Physical exercise done devotionally as we worship God with body, mind, and spirit.

 

Singing:

A hearty, jubilant time of participating together in songs of praise and thanksgiving, leading us into meaningful worship.

 

Prayer Groups:

Learn to pray by praying.  Learn laws of effective prayer.  Learn that God’s promises never fail. 

 

Fellowship:

Enjoying friendship and social exchange with fellow Christians is one of the great rewards of a CFO experience.  The mutual acceptance and the non-judgmental relationships that are created in this warm atmosphere of Jesus' love are unequaled anywhere in today's world, and friendships formed are often for a lifetime.

All ages are welcome at the Indiana CFO.  Families and singles are welcome and encouraged to come.  Our Camp offers every age group an opportunity to grow spiritually, mentally, and physically.

 

Younger Children:

A nursery provides infants and toddlers with supervised, loving care while their parents enjoy the adult program.

 

Children's Program:

Children kindergarten through sixth grade will have, at their level, many of the same unique features of the CFO program as the adults.  The children's program includes Bible stories, music, crafts, prayer time, games and their own creatives.

 

The children will be led by dedicated leaders who love children and who love the Lord!  This age group will be housed with their parents, and parents are responsible for children when the children are not in scheduled activities.

 

Youth Program:

The youth program is for young people entering 7th through 12th grades and includes music, peer prayer groups, and nightly youth meetings.  College-age campers may participate in either the youth program or adult program.  Registration from youth will be accepted only when a parent, guardian or sponsor over the age of 25 is responsible for them and is also in attendance at the camp.
