Personal Testimonies

Camp Sonrise Mountain was used by the Lord to change my life. Here I met the most important people in my life: First the Lord Jesus Christ who called me to Himself and to the ministry, Pastors Larry White and Glenn Beatty who mentored me and Melanie who has been my best friend for more than half a century and my wife for 44 years.

Camp Sonrise Mountain, a place that has changed my life forever, and will always give me butterflies as I make the drive down the road towards the camp. I attended weekly summer camp for the first time when I was 8 years old, couldn’t wait to go as my Dad had spent many years there on staff. Once there I could understand why he loved it so much, the friends that are made last a lifetime, the experience of accepting Jesus as Savior gives hope and peace, and being at the top of Vesper Hill brings even the hardest of hearts closer to heaven. Camp Sonrise Mountain not only changes lives, it changes people.

Our denomination’s use of Camp Sonrise Mountain for regional youth camps spans decades. What stands out beyond the beauty of the location and the great facilities is the warm, welcoming attitude of the staff through the years. We have always been treated well and our experience has always been amazing. Best of all, God has favored this mountain as a place to call generations of youth to His Family!
