Pants/Shorts: NOTE: Guys: No gym shorts(NOTE- i asked camp about this guideline and they gave us permission to wear gym short. so, it is OK to wear them), No sagging shorts, Girls: Modest length shorts, NO-DAISY DUKES Note: camp works very hard to keep a modest dress code- especially given that it is a boys camp. Please consider this when choosing outfits. thanks :)
11. swimsuit (ladies- one piece or tankini please)

Many outdoor projects will require long pants

1. Shirts: No inappropriate slogans or suggestive comments, Girls: NO low cut shirts and blouses (Modesty is important and needs to be a significant consideration with the population we serve and minister to here at camp).
2. Suggested - no cell phones while working at camp: cell phone coverage is very spotty at camp and some of our boys may pick up phones left lying around. It is our desire for the mission’s trip participants to spend their week connecting with their group and not distracted by texting or otherwise.
3. Online Usage is NOT AVAILABLE at camp: The camp location is very remote thus requiring a satellite connection that allows for very limited monthly downloads.

Funday Info: We will be hitting Jekyl Island for our fun day on Friday on the way back North. For those who haven't been there before check it out online. It's Awesome and unique! We will swim and play on beach, explore and eat out.

Deadlines: Online Registration is CLOSED.    

Costs: $150 per student

This August in Youth, we get a chance to change things up and get a rest before the school year kicks in.

We take a break from Wednesday Night Youth until Fall Kick-Off on September 4th.

Events- we finish up Gatorcamp during the first week & are working on a possible canoe trip

We still have Sunday Morning Youth as always.

*during this break your Youth Leaders will be rebooting and planning out a Fall of crazy fun and great times of growing in God!

This is in the planning stages.

The goal is to go on a small Canoe Trip to get set for a larger scale trip in the future.

Check in with Jim if you are interested in doing this 3 day, 2 night trip.

It will likely be a guys trip and dads would be welcome.

Again, this event may change lots as i get feedback and as i determine how the river looks in august.

Lets go!
