What is a hero?  In the movies and fairy tales, heroes are those who leap tall buildings in a single bound, save damsels in distress, or thwart the powers of evil in climactic, spectacular battles.  However, being a hero for God is different, although not nearly as dramatic.
                Being a hero for God means recognizing a need, realizing that something can be done to address that need, and taking the risk to act.  Being a hero for God involves understanding that God calls and equips each of us to do some of what Jesus and other biblical heroes did.  And for us, like the biblical heroes, this work is often done in simple ways, with everyday things, and by ordinary people.            
                During the time at camp, campers will consider the ways in which being a hero for God takes courage and bravery, requiring them to step out in faith and take risks for the sake of others.  Being a hero calls them to Trust God to use what they can offer and to equip them for welcoming, befriending, including, giving, rejoicing, and sharing the good news.  Campers will leave camp knowing that it takes more courage and faith to be one of God’s heroes than it takes to simply leap off tall buildings in a single bound!
