You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart
With songs of deliverance
Whenever I feel afraid
I will trust in you
I will trust in you
(A favorite song at Alkulana…from the Psalms)
For
many people – campers and counselors alike –
Alkulana is a hiding place, a place of safety and love—a
caring community that points children to the ultimate
hiding place in God’s love and grace through Christ.
At
Alkulana, children learn that it is OK to be a child,
OK to have fun. It is also a place where children learn,
grow and mature. Counselors are a key in that growth
and maturation process and are crucial in making Alkulana
feel like a second home.
As
our slogan states, Camp Alkulana is a place in which
children learn about the reality of God’s love.
This love manifests itself through the interactions
the children have with their counselors. From teaching
a child how to swim (or even get into the water for
the first time), cooking a meal with wet firewood in
the middle of a rainstorm, to tucking them in at night,
counselor’s actions are driven by a common cause
– the love that encompasses us through and because
of Jesus Christ.
“How
great is God’s love for all who worship Him? Greater
than the distance between heaven and earth.”
Psalm 103:11 CEV
Once
you enter the Alkulana driveway, you are considered
to be part of a family – the Alkulana family,
where the reality of God’s love does indeed, come
to life.
