1 Campers, Parents & Church Leaders! We are SO EXCITED about Children s/pre-teen Camp. This year our theme is Turn It Up!!! Every kid loves a good story, whether it s a book, a movie, or a video game. So get your kids excited about the most incredible true story of all - God s loving pursuit of us through time. TURN IT UP takes a journey through the Bible to give context for God s Big Story. This summer, kids will discover how they can be a part of the story when they turn up the power of God s love in their life. Here is a list of the stories that we ll be talking about: Creation and The Fall of Man, God s Promise to Abraham, The Israelites Grumble, Jesus Birth, Life and Death and The Road to Emmaus. Please start praying for the campers and the staff of our Mid-Atlantic Children s/pre-teen Camp. Miss Melissa Flores from ENC will lead our Chapel services this year. Pastor Marjorie Bailey will lead our worship time. Churches will be bringing all campers for registration to the Chapel on Monday, August 5th at 2pm. Pick-up time is Friday, August 9th at 12:30pm. We are asking each local church to send at least 1 adult counselor with their group and an additional counselor for every 6 campers they send. We are working hard to have a FUN & SAFE camp environment & need the support of local churches to accomplish this. We are offering an Early Bird discount of $20 off per camper if you register by June 12th. A late fee of $20 will apply for late registration (after July 12th). For your family to get the most out of this experience, please continue to ask your child at home about what they learned at Turn It Up. Together, we can make a greater impact on your child s life than either of us could do alone. Thank you again for allowing us the opportunity to partner with you as you encourage your child along his or her spiritual journey. We are looking forward to spending time with your child as we learn how to be Turned Up in God s love. Serving the Lord and loving His kids!
