Camp and Conference 2010
Getting Ready for Camp
Perhaps the most important thing that you can do to help your group build a Christian Community is to consider why you are coming to camp.
Camp is a place to retreat and to be away from the rest of the world so that we can focus on what it means to follow Jesus Christ, to be members of God's family, and have fun, too.
This is why we are clear about what we bring to camp, don't bring to camp, and how we live and treat each other while we are at camp.
To help all of us get the most out of our week together as a camp community, we ask that campers remain at camp all week and have no visitors.
Camp Offering
This year's camp offering will go to support ministries with children and youth in the Congo. We have set a goal of $5,000 for our summer camps to contribute to this ministry.
Please put your offering in an envelope and bring it with you to camp. Remember to put your name on the envelope!
