What's Presbyterian mean?
Presbyterian churches are part of the Protestant Reformed
church family. More information is available on our
denomination's website: www.pcusa.org
What's a Presbytery?
The Presbytery is a regional group of Presbyterian churches.
Elders (ordained lay-leaders) and pastors from these
churches meet together regularly, and the Presbytery
coordinates ministry and resources to benefit the whole. See

We
provide individuals of all ages the opportunity to
grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, each
other, their families and their church home through
outdoor living experiences in a distinctly Christian
Community.
The
Presbytery of the Cascades is composed
of over 120 churches in Southwestern
Washington, Western Oregon and part of
Northern California. The Presbytery's summer
camp program serves youth and families from
these churches, other churches and those
with no church affiliation.
Camp Magruder and Suttle Lake are
camps owned by the
United Methodist
Oregon-Idaho Camp and Conference Centers.
These ACA accredited campsites provide safe
places, accessible throughout our region, for
campers to experience the love of God
surrounded by God's creation. Our day camp
is at Menucha, owned by First Presbyterian
Church. Family Camp is held at Honeyman
State Park. High School Adventure Camp in
2009 will be based out of Trout Lake
Washington.
Our camps
are staffed by volunteers from our churches,
many who trained to be counselors through
our Counselor program. These pastors, youth
leaders, and young adults are dedicated to
the safety and spiritual growth of our
campers. The program is coordinated by a
Presbytery staff member.
