Thousands of Idaho kids have great memories of summer camp, but many of those same summer camps are at risk in the economic downturn.
To assist the camps, a group of Idaho residents has started the God Rocks Festival from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, June 12, at the Red Rock Christian Church sports fields at the corner of Kootenai and Roosevelt streets.
“Some of my most cherished memories growing up were made at these church camps and I know that is true of many of my friends,” said Gary McCracken, a local businessman who attended the camps in the late 1960s and ‘70s. “If Idaho kids are to continue to have these experiences, we need to support these camps.”
McCracken, a guitarist, is one of a number of musicians who will play at the festival, including Shon Sanders and Desirae Bronson. Local musician and producer Steve Fulton is headlining the event. The event is non-alcoholic, non-smoking and will include food, bouncy jumps and other family fun. There is no admission although people will be asked for a donation upon entry.
Most of the camps are affiliated with Christian churches, which have provided a stable source of kids, funding and support to keep the camps affordable, but children of all beliefs are welcome at the camps.

Proceeds from the festival can be used to support this important ministry in the following ways:
Endowment Funding
Property Leases
Camp Improvements
Camper Scholarships
Stipends for camp counselors from NCC, Chapman and other institutions.
