First Orthodox Presbyterian Church

Family Camp

You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house

First OPC holds an annual camp on the east side of scenic Mt.Hood near Wamic, Oregon, about 30 miles south of The Dalles, where the sun shines as much as 340 days of the year. Campers of all ages look forward to this event.

Speaker sessions

The highlight of the camp is a twice-daily session with a notable speaker on topics of interest to members of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. In 2008, Randy Bergquist, Pastor of Emmanuel OPC in Kent, Washington, brought a series of talks on home missions. For 2009, Richard Hannula, elder at Faith (PCA) in Tacoma, principal of Covenant High School in Tacoma returned to share stories from Reformation times.

In 2010 our guests were the author Doug Bond along with his wife and three of his six children. Doug brought us an exciting series of talks about Calvin, Knox, and the Covenanters.
