SBHH came on two years ago, and we’ve been working on it solid since then. That first year, I believe there was a wooden stage constructed by volunteers from the church, and now it’s grown to the major event it is today. “The first Camporee, and that was before there was any video, or even a roof over the stage, was 1994. “Over the time we’ve been involved with Camporee, we’ve seen exponential growth - growth in activities, growth in attendance, and definitely a growth in technology,” says Quan, one of the three managing partners of SBHH and a producer of the festival. Managing partners Rachel Quan and John Monroe have been with the Pathfinders through several Camporees now. The FOH area and spots were set up behind the audienceĮvent Production and Management firm SBHH was hired to manage the size and scale of the production. In 1994, they began having Camporee events.
Pathfinders are a very organized group with trust in its vendors - and they had the foresight to put major vendors in place that would take care of safely executing the design, production, and its success.

Pathfinders is an organization that has a very intelligent approach to planning their Camporee productions, and many successful Houses of Worship go this route: they reach out to professional vendors for production help so that they can focus on the message without having to worry about making their vision come to life. The difference is, this client very much cares about the outcome of the event beyond a fiscal aspect - the production is truly core to their beliefs and their community. The challenges in worship production planning are similar any other major or minor production. Absolutely the same problems we face when playing college gigs with new volunteer stagehands. If you have ever worked on a fledgling House of Worship production or installation, you know how difficult that situation can be - volunteers with no or little experience, safety issues, money issues, wants and desires of a full-sized arena rig with the budget that could provide some par lamps. 12-17 2024, the focus will be on the Story of Moses.įireworks go off during “The Story of David.” For the next event, set for Oshkosh from Aug.

“The festival almost doubles the population of Oshkosh for that week,” observes Andy Gerber from Screenworks, one of the production partners at the event. 12-17, church spokesman Dan Weber noted that 55,000 people from 92 countries around the world attended for a week of fellowship, concerts and a mass baptism, along with other activities. Oshkosh, WI, known for its OshKosh B’gosh kids clothing brand and massive annual air show along with an assortment of agricultural goods, is also home to the once-every-five-years gathering of Seventh-day Adventist youth ministers and young church members between the ages of 9 and 16 known as the International Pathfinder Camporee.Īt this year’s sold-out gathering, from Aug. Pumpkin festivals, squash, corn, cheese festivals, barbecue festivals, you name it. Summer is festival season - every kind of festival you can imagine, from Bonnaroo in Tennessee to Lollapalooza in Chicago, a wide array of festivals are flourishing during the warmer months, with people celebrating different genres of music or, quite often in agricultural communities, the harvest of the regions’ signature crops.
