Next year’s confirmation program will begin on a firm foundation. This camp experience is a required part of our congregation’s ministry to junior high youth. Perhaps you remember a similar opportunity you received when you were this age. Take a look at some of the benefits for your adolescent child.

1.  The youth will get to know each other and their pastors in a beautiful and inspiring setting.

2.  A two-day retreat may move relationships from the acquaintance level to the brother and sister level.

3.  The camp atmosphere and the likelihood of having fun will redefine the way we understand “Bible study.”

4.  The food is great.

5.  We get to go swimming.

6.  We will grow in leadership skills and knowledge of what makes faith a strength for our lives.

7.  There will be other youth from other Lutheran churches in the valley, so we’ll get to know them and benefit from having many pastors working together.

 “The name Potosi translates from Castilian Spanish to mean "great wealth gold mine: source of great wealth". While Mount Potosi's history is abundant in folklore and Historical fanciful tales of wealth and adventure, today's purpose is just as rich and exciting.

The Spencer W. Kimball Scout Reservation, located at Mount Potosi is "history in the making.” The 1,120-acre reservation is located 30 miles Southwest of Las Vegas. Nevada. This high desert facility is at an elevation of 5,800 feet with daytime temperatures at least 20 degrees cooler than in the Las Vegas Valley” (from the description of the Boy Scout’s Camp Potosi, which is a stone’s throw from Potosi Pines.)

Potosi Pines is a camp owned and operated by the United Methodist Church. It is located past Blue Diamond, on the way to Pahrump.
