Parent Devotions
The Good Shepherd
Each day at camp, your student studies Psalm 23, an Old Testament shepherd, and a New Testament verse. These reflections invite you into the same Scripture, with prompts to pray for your camper and your family.

The Good Shepherd
Sheep lack a sense of direction, leaving them defenseless and vulnerable without a shepherd. Just as a shepherd protects and guides his sheep, we have a Good Shepherd who does the same for us.
Psalm 23:1MosesJohn 10:11 - Day 11
The Good Peace
Shepherds bring peace to their flocks through consistent care, protecting them from predators, and guiding them to safe pastures. In a world of hurry, pressure, and performance, the Good Shepherd offers us peace and rest.
Psalm 23:2IsaacJohn 14:27 - Day 22
The Good Restoration
When a sheep wanders off or gets trapped, the shepherd brings them back to the flock. In a world of darkness and evil, we are prone to wander, in need of rescue. The Good Shepherd offers direction and spiritual restoration.
Psalm 23:3Jacob1 Peter 2:25 - Day 33
The Good Presence
The shepherd's presence is critical for the well-being and survival of a flock. The Good Shepherd is ever with us. His presence brings comfort, not fear.
Psalm 23:4AmosJames 4:8 - Day 44
The Good Life
Shepherding requires deep, long-term commitment to each sheep and the flock as a whole. The Good Shepherd is merciful and promises abundant life now and His presence forever.
Psalm 23:6AbrahamMatthew 28:20 - Day 55
The Good Keeper
God faithfully provides, protects, and preserves us — guiding us through every season into His lasting presence. As you welcome your child home, prepare your heart to listen well.
