Missionary Offering -
Last year we took an offering to help CEF workers print Wonder Books in their language that will be handed out to children in the country of Sweden. The offering was weighed at the end of the day as part of our team contest. Pennies, and other change were great to bring. It all added up! I mentioned to the children that it would be good for them to try to earn some money for the offering by doing extra chores or projects at home so that they don't just ask parents for money to bring, but bring something that they can give. The offering last year was $1,175!!
Campers do not have to bring anything for the offering. It is voluntary.
​
This year we will be helping CEF in Sweden
print Meet the King Booklets!

Swimming -
We will plan to swim on Friday, weather permitting. If we do not swim on Friday, we will have water games for everyone. We usually have one half of the campers swim and the other half play water games on the lawn for 1/2 the time, and then they switch. Please have your child's name on everything in case they forget something at camp. They will not need their swim stuff/water game clothes until Friday. Please send your child with a modest swimsuit (one piece suits for girls) or an extra swim shirt. We have water toys for the swim area and water games for the game area.​
​
Food Allergies -
The kitchen and menu at camp are not dairy and gluten free. If your child has dietary restrictions, please send appropriate food with him or her to camp.
