If you’ve ever tuned in to a movie when it was half over, or started watching a TV series toward the end of a season, you know how confusing it can be: you watch a scene that you can tell is important, but you don’t understand why it matters. It’s hard to see the significance of plot twists when you don’t know the plot, or character development when you’re not familiar with the characters. Reading the Bible can be a lot like that: the significance of each part of the Bible is hard to see apart from a clear view of its overall storyline. Thankfully, all the main elements of the Bible’s story are introduced in its earlies chapters, and getting to know these chapters will help us understand everything that follows them.  Join us as we go back to Genesis 12- 24 this Spring at Harvest.”

Water Ski Camp is our annual summer camp where students from Harvest come together to experience God through His Word, music, games, each other, and extremely fun water sports.

This camp is for students entering the 2026-2027 school year as 7th-12th graders, plus 2026 graduates.
