2026 Theme: Rooted In...

This summer, our theme is “Rooted In…” a celebration of how God strengthens us, grounds us, and connects us to one another at Camp Christopher. Similar to the trees here at camp, our roots grow deep into the ground (within ourselves), spread wide through our relationships with others, and our branches reach upward toward God and the values we believe in. Together, those directions form the shape of a cross. This reminds us that real growth takes root in faith. Our faith anchors us down, nurtures meaningful friendships, and guides our hearts upward.

For this year’s contest, we want your help in completing the theme. Your artwork should include the phrase: “Rooted in ______.” …and YOU choose the final word!

Some ideas include: Rooted in Peace, Rooted in Hope, Rooted in Joy, Rooted in Faith, Rooted in Community, Rooted in Nature, or something original that matters to you.

We encourage you to think about:

  • What keeps you grounded?
  • What helps you grow?
  • What connects you to others at Camp Christopher?
  • How do we build deep roots that help us become the best version of ourselves?
