Pathfinders

Story by Cinthia Portanova, Children’s Ministries Director and Youth Ministries Administrative Assistant

The 2025 New Jersey Conference (NJC) Pathfinder Camporee recently lived up to its theme, “Faith on Fire,” as more than 1,800 Pathfinders, staff and families gathered for a weekend of faith, fun and fellowship.

Attendees participated in hands-on activities, such as log pulling, backpacking, furniture building, orienteering, drilling and marching, and earning honors. Each day featured high-energy worship with glowing giant foam sticks and powerful speakers.
