Remember Your Creator 2026  

Do you forget things? Everyone forgets details from time to time, but more importantly have we forgotten the most important issues in life?  Our tendency is to lose focus on the important eternal aspects of life and be distracted by the trivial things of this world.  We should pause and consider; what does God instruct us to remember?

 This year’s theme, Remember Your Creator, has been a starting point for camp’s creation themes. The theme verse is a call to remember the foundations of our reality and purpose in life.

                                       Remember your Creator in the days of your youth…   Ecclesiastes 12:1

 King Solomon wrote these words after pursuing the goals the world offers. He concluded that the true purpose of our lives is to follow God.  As we remember our Creator, we are called to live our lives in obedience to Him, worshipping Him in his rightful place as Creator and Savior. We also discover God’s plan for mankind as we understand earth’s history and scripture.

 Through exploring creation, we will comprehend the mysteries surrounding dinosaurs.  Discovering when they live, how they died, and what kind of creatures they were. Exploring with

fossils and water will help us appreciate the global flood.  This backdrop of history will help us understand our Creator and His marvelous abilities and character. Live reptiles will also remind us how our beliefs affect our understanding of creation and our behaviors. Join us on this journey to remember the beginnings so we can boldly live as God has designed.
