Peace Presbyterian campers live life a little on the wild side.

Cedarkirk Camp, the summer camp of the Presbyteries of Tampa Bay, is traveling this year. Typically, parents can send their children to stay at the summer camp, located in Lithia, Fla. This year, the camp is visiting different churches throughout Florida and holding daytime activities for congregations.

Campers at the church on State Road 64 got to go on nature safaris and learn about fearless faith June 20 – 24.
