We want to see His Kingdom come, His Spirit poured out on all flesh, and the next generation equipped with a firm foundation, ready to run with God into all He has planned!
Founders
Dr. Karissa Glanville Ross – teacher, speaker, author, and expert in Children’s Spirituality. Karissa has been working with, and mentoring, children and youth for decades in a variety of settings, both formal and informal. From schools, to small groups, children’s church and even through novels, her goal has been to see young people reach the fullness of their potential in Christ…and have fun along the way! She has received a BA in Social Work, Teaching Credential, MDiv, and a PhD in Intercultural Studies with an emphasis on Children’s Spirituality. But don’t let the titles fool you. She’s an imaginative child at heart, who would much rather live in a tree house. Her books can be found at www.KRoss.ink.

The Dream
We are in the process of establishing the camp in the Colorado Springs area. Our desire is to have the camp on a completely sustainable property, where new and old technologies are brought together in a “back to the garden” way of life. We want to be a service to the community around us, and a training ground for the next generation of culture transformers.
