GrandCamps is a unique, grand faith adventure for grandparents and their grade-school age grandchildren focused on leaving a faith-legacy for the next generations. Through purposeful activities that grandparents and grandchildren experience together, to discovering from God’s Word what it means to walk in the truth, to building a treasure chest of life-changing memories—all in an environment that invites having a pile of fun—this will be a time for building memories that will last a lifetime! We also offer a single day Grand Day Out event for churches, as well as our Do-It-Yourself Field Guide for grandparents who would like to do their own family Grand Camp.

Finn Laursen is currently serving as an Educational Consultant for Christian Educators Association International. CEAI (www.ceai.org) is a professional association for Christian educators in both public and private schools. Most of its members are in public schools and they are, in fact, the only national association specifically serving Christian educators in our public schools and have done so since 1953. Their focus is to encourage, equip, and empower Christian educators to make a positive impact in the schools where they serve.
Since CEAI provides professional liability and legal representation when needed, many Christian educators are leaving the traditional teachers unions to receive their support from CEAI.
Prior to serving for 14 years as Executive Director of Christian Educators Association, Finn was a public school educator in Ohio for 32 years: teacher, middle school & high school counselor, middle school & high school assistant principal, high school principal, and the last 11 years public school superintendent.
Over the past 20 years he has traveled around the country as a speaker and trainer about legal freedoms in our public schools. He has presented in such venues as the National School Board Association Conventions, State Administrators Association Conventions, as well as provided training for ministry leaders in ministries such as Youth For Christ, First Priority, Young Life and Sports World.
Finn has testified as an expert witness for educators in local and federal court and led CEAI as a plaintiff in the Friedrichs vs CTA recently heard at the US Supreme Court attempting to stop forced unionism.
