We are very excited that you are coming to camp this year! Our theme is “Spirit Adventure.” We are going to have a whale of a time with Jonah, we will learn from the friendship of Naomi and Ruth, we will follow Paul on some awesome adventures!

In addition to all these parties we will be having some great water activities. We will play at the beach, we will go kayaking, we will have water games at the camp and other surprises for you and your small group leaders. Be sure you bring two towels to camp (one for the beach and one for the showers.) Oh and make sure your swimsuits are appropriate for camp or your small group leader might ask you to put on a T-Shirt.

If you haven’t already invited a friend to come with you to camp I hope that you will. If you have a friend you want in your group at camp we will try to make that work. Usually we can work that out for cabin groups, but you might be asked to be in a different small group. Camp is also a time to make great new friends and we know that you will have a great time at camp with everyone in your small groups.

Be sure to check out our camp web page in the next couple of weeks. We will have some camp information available for you and during camp your parents will be able to see what is happening at camp!

We are praying for you and your family as you prepare to come to camp and you are welcome to pray for us as we continue to get ready for your week of camp at Ocean Park.
