"THUNDER CAMP IS THE BEST CAMP!" - JEREMY
It’s true, you’ve probably not heard of anything like this before! In the heart of Nashville, Harvest Sound has been running a creative arts and missions camp called “Thunder Camp” for the past eleven years. Focusing on building authentic friendships, cultivating creativity, and experiencing a missions lifestyle, Thunder Camp is definitely not the ordinary youth camp!
BUILDING FRIENDSHIPS
Teens apply from all over the world to participate, so there is a variety of cultures and ages that make up Thunder Camp! Because of this, you get to know different types of people that otherwise, you may have never met! Often times, these are the people that become some of your closest friends.
“I felt so loved and accepted by everyone. God broke down so many of my walls.” -Verena Miller, 16, Montana
Here at Harvest Sound, we believe in building a strong, healthy, vibrant community. This is a principle that we implement into Thunder Camp and our program for adults, Harvest Sound 21 Day Intensive. Campers come into an atmosphere of encouragement and soon become the encouragers themselves!
CULTIVATING CREATIVITY
“Thunder Camp was an amazing experience! I encountered God and learned how to use my creative gifts. ” -Ben Toth, 15, Canada
Clap your hands and stomp your feet, enjoy the freedom to release! Throughout the week campers work with their assigned creative teams on different creative projects. It could be dance, song, art, drama, anything! After brainstorming and creating as a team, the whole camp gets together that Friday night to share their own unique expression!
EXPERIENCING MISSIONS LIFESTYLE
Jesus said to “go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15). Thunder Camp is raising up and equipping young leaders to be active in their faith by pouring into those younger than themselves and serving the needy in Nashville.
“When we went to the outreach, I was so nervous... I was so happy God showed me the right words for them, impacting their life.” - Zachary Thomas, 14, Alabama
LASTING IMPACT
“Thunder Camp has completely changed my life. I’ve received so much healing, growth, and love over the years. It is truly the highlight of my year!” -Kayla Cordes, 17, New Jersey
The goal of Thunder Camp every year is for each camper to be empowered to live an active life of faith. Whether they’ve come every year or it’s their first time, there’s always something new to grow in!
