Oakwood University Church Makes History!

Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on August 29, 2025

"Oakwood University Church in Huntsville, Ala., made history earlier this month by launching its first Friendship Camp, a dedicated camping experience designed specifically for 10-year-old Pathfinders in the Friend Class — the youngest members of the Pathfinder Club.

The pilot program, held April 5-7, 2025, offered an engaging, hands-on, and spiritually enriching outdoor weekend.

The camp was created to address the developmental needs of the Friend Class while focusing on essential Pathfinder skills, building friendships, and supporting spiritual growth."
