CREATIVE CAMP



If your 5-11 year-old can’t get to camp this summer, camp just might come to them.

Greyson Williams heads up a program called Freestyle Camp under the auspices of Woodlands Camp in Cleveland, Georgia. From May to August of each year, he takes a team to a different Synergy Site every week and runs a day camp for kids.

Campers get a mixture of both impactful and unforgettable experiences. The impact comes from daily chapel sessions, interactive worship, counselor-led quiet times, scripture memory, and challenges to live responsibly. The unforgettable part includes EPIC INFLATABLES, competition between teams, cabin games, free time activities, camp skits, and the Freestyle Store.

Greyson says, “The purpose of Freestyle is to inspire and equip this generation to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.” This is done in partnership with local churches. They have been conducting Freestyle camps since 2019, and this year three such teams will be on the road throughout the southeast. They hope to connect unchurched families to a strong local church through an unforgettable camp experience.

Then they received word that another sibling would be born in April of 2024. Their hearts longed to add the new boy to their expanding family, but health, finances, and the lack of more room in their SUV seemed to say no.   After the surgery, Kim found out she could breathe again, and the outlook began to change.  It was time to make room for eight. When the already-loved baby arrived, Kim went to the hospital while Kevin dro...
