2025 Camp Prayer Calendar
Summer at camp is more than games, songs, and sunshine—it’s Holy ground. It’s a place where Campers take their first brave step away from home, where Summer Staff discover the joy of service, and where lifelong friendships are formed in cabins and on fields. But most importantly, it’s a place where hearts encounter Jesus, sometimes for the first time.
We believe that the best way to prepare and protect these holy moments is through prayer. From the first day of Staff Training to the last family pick-up, we want every space, every relationship, and every Camper to be covered in prayer.
Whether you’re a parent, Summer Staff alumni, Host Church Partner, Volunteer, or simply someone who loves camp, we invite you to join us in praying over this summer. Your prayers matter—and they make a difference.
🗓️ Camp Prayer Calendar
We’ve created a daily prayer calendar to help you stay connected to the work God is doing through WinShape Camps this summer. Each day includes a focused prayer prompt aligned with what’s happening at camp—whether that’s praying over the first day of a new session, Lifting up a specific Staff position, or praying generally over the Campers, Staff, Families, and the very grounds we're walking on.
How to Pray for Camp this Summer
Pray for Campers
• For Campers to feel a sense of belonging and excitement from the start.
• For Campers to feel seen, known, and loved during their time at camp.
• For Campers to have the courage to try new things and push past fear or insecurity.
• For Campers who are staying away from home for the first time—that they would feel safe, supported, and excited.
• For Campers to believe the truth about who God says they are—chosen, loved, and made with purpose.
• For Campers to encounter Jesus—some for the first time, others in new and powerful ways.
• For Campers to leave camp with confidence, joy, and a heart full of God’s truth.
• For Campers to form lifelong friendships during their time at Camp.
• For Campers’ safety in every activity, from the pools and lakes, to the fields and rock walls.
