And all the campers said, “Let’s Go! … again!”
As temperatures get cooler and leaves begin to fall, we can’t help but reminisce on this past summer with incredibly full and grateful hearts. Summer 2022 was one of life-changing, forever-difference-making fun for campers, families, and staff. We can’t reverse time and do it again, but we can rewind and play it back!
Here’s what some parents had to say…

There’s More to Discover When We Explore!
Over the last few months, we explored our theme “More to Explore” as we dove into John 8:32 which says “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Like astronauts being launched into space, we know that life is a huge adventure – full of exciting opportunities to discover new things, but can sometimes be a bit scary. This summer we learned that we don’t have to face the challenges of life alone! When we follow Him as we explore life, he provides all we need to navigate through all the fun opportunities, all the challenges, and all the unknowns.
Campers learned these truths over the course of their week:
- Explore Jesus, Discover Truth
- Explore His Word, Discover the Plan
- Explore His Love, Discover Connection
- Explore His Spirit, Discover Direction
- Explore The Truth, Discover Freedom
We were honored to serve over 25,000 campers in 19 states. Over the course of 9 weeks, we had close to 1,600 campers make a decision about their relationship with Jesus. And there’s nothing else in this rewind that’s worth celebrating more than THAT! ✝️
Speaking of our camp theme — as always, we had epic music written specifically for exploring our daily truths (not to mention some top-notch dance moves to go with it.)
It wasn’t just campers having all the fun either! Our Summer Staff also camp’d their hearts out this summer!

And if campers and staff having fun wasn’t enough, PARENTS also got in on the action at WinShape Camps for Families!
This summer we were joined by a total of 104 families at WinShape Camps for Families at Cohutta Springs, in the stunning North Georgia mountains. These 3-day getaways were crafted for the kids, and the kids at heart. ❤️ And boy did we have a good time!
A summer to remember
All-in-all, this summer was one for the record books. It was full of big-time, over-the-top moments that God used in spectacular ways to make a difference in thousands of lives. We’re forever grateful to parents, campers, and our Summer Staff who make up the WinShape Nation! We now find ourselves in a time of rest, but we’re already thinking about next summer! Registration for our 2023 overnight camps opened up on September 7th. So if you haven’t registered yet, now is the time! On top of that, we’re excited to share our 2023 theme — Roadtrip! We’re hittin’ the road y’all!🚗
