Youth and Children's Camp has long been the cornerstone of the Presbytery's outreach to young people, helping them build the foundation of a life in Christ through fun, fellowship, and worship in a setting created by God.  With the skills of its most talented educators, pastors and lay people, the Presbytery has developed an effective and engaging camp program--one that is an expression of God's love and care for each camper.

The Presbytery's investment of time and energy in its camping program has paid off generously, yielding dividends in the form of lifelong memories and friendships, generations of Presbyterian leaders, and the kind of life-changing experiences for which the Presbytery is known.  Even some marriages trace their earliest roots to youth and children's camp.

In bringing its formidable camping expertise to Living River, the Presbytery promises to raise the bar for youth and children's camps throughout Alabama and the surrounding region.  With Living River's astounding natural resources--440 acres of wooded ridges and valleys, natural wetlands, and four miles of scenic riverfront, to name a few--this sacred space has unlimited potential to inspire, delight and entertain new generations of young people.  At Living River, the Presbytery will be able to reach out to more young people than ever before, providing them with enduring spiritual riches that will shine outward, lighting the world where ever they go.
