Every year at Camp Akita we focus our discussion and quiet time around a theme. We do our best to pick a theme that will be recognizable to every camper, provide content for discussion, and serve as a new lens for seeing Camp Akita’s core values of acceptance, community, authenticity, and compassion. We are very excited to announce the 2025 summer camp theme!
Get ready to blast off: Camp Akita is headed to outer space! This summer, campers will rocket into an out-of-this-world adventure. All our favorite camp games, small groups, and cabin activities will take on an intergalactic spin: campers will face off in cosmic competitions, rely on fellow astronauts, and make their own spacecrafts (get it?). We may even host an alien crash-landing!
Our “Give Me Space” theme also invites campers to reflect upon their lives. As always, Camp Akita provides much-needed “space” away from our everyday routines. We’ll reflect with gratitude on the people, places, and activities in our orbit. Who helps us feel not-so “lost in space”? How would we design our ideal planet? What would we take on a mission to Mars? We’ll also discuss the aspects of our lives (like distractions or negativity) that we need to discard like “space junk”!
No matter our faith tradition, we’ll consider the ways that we are all bright, beloved individuals—just like stars. We remember Isaiah 40:26: “God brings out the stars one by one and calls each by name; not one of them is missing.” At Camp Akita, we’ll celebrate your uniqueness, build genuine relationships, and become a constellation of community together.
We can’t wait for Camp Akita 2025! So strap in, count down, and prepare to explore the final frontier. The moment YOU touch down at Camp Akita, we’ll be over the moon!
