Christian Camping Group Changes Name
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO (January 20, 2005) - Christian Camping
International/USA (CCI/USA) has changed its name and going forward will
be known as Christian Camp and Conference Association (CCCA), a change
that reflects the organization's desire to more clearly communicate its
twofold mission.
Several camps of the Evangelical Covenant Church belong to the
association. Camp executive directors David Auker of Covenant Harbor
Bible Camp in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and Stan White of Alpine Camp and
Conference Center in Blue Jay, California, are past presidents of the
organization.
For years the association has had a stated purpose to "equip Christian
camp and conference leaders by providing ongoing encouragement,
professional training and timely resources." More recently, it has
identified the importance of proclaiming the power of the Christian camp
and conference experience and interpreting its benefits. One major step
in this direction was to eliminate the often-misleading word "camping"
from its name.
Some 1,100 camps and conference centers are members of Christian Camp
and Conference Association, a not-for-profit association incorporated in
1963. To learn more about this organization and its ministry services,
