July 29 – August 2 is sure to be a great time of worship, fellowship and fun!
Our theme “Heroes of the Faith” taken from Hebrews 11:38 encourages us to live out our faith in trying times and find encouragement in the lives of those who have served before us.
We still need some teachers! Anyone willing to help with these age groups (0-2, 3-4, 5-7) please contact me ASAP.
Remember to select your Disciple In Training (DIT). Each church can send one youth as a representative. The DIT should be responsible, able to provide feedback, and accept responsibilities during camp week. The DITs will meet each night at 11:00 p.m. on the canteen patio.
T-shirts: The deadline for pre-orders is July 17th. Your church can e-mail, message me on Facebook, or call in your pre order. We will only have a few extra shirts made, so to insure you get one PRE-ORDER! T-shirts are $10.
Please go over the camp rules with your group before coming to camp. Be sure to stress modest clothing, including long shorts. You can also encourage your youth to wear a swimsuit under their clothes during recreation time if they intend to get wet.
I can’t express enough the need for your prayers. There is a short time to get things ready. It’s crunch time and we need all the prayers we can get: for energy, encouragement, remembering what we haven’t thought of yet, and for all the camp workers, sponsors, the lost who will be hearing the gospel and for laborers in the harvest and for the safety of the campers.
We are looking forward to camp week and hope you are too!
As always, we do not charge for camp attendance although the average cost per camper to host camp week is about $45. Any help in offsetting that cost is greatly appreciated. Campers can also support Camp Garwood by participating in the DEW program. DEW, Dollar Every Week, is a great way to support camp a little at a time. DEW funds can be brought to camp, sent in monthly, quarterly, or whenever the individual or church group is ready.
One thing every Christian can do for Camp is PRAY! We need YOU as a prayer warrior and need you to pray daily for Camp!
