Please Note:
This is a mission trip. The majority of the Registration fee is used to provide a summer camp experience for those who might not be able to have one. There is always a level of struggle, discomfort, and sacrifice while “one mission.”
We will have one team gathering on a Sunday in Early June (Probably the Sunday before or directly after VBS) to plan and organize materials and camp schedules.
Phones are allowed, but must be used appropriately or they will be removed. Phones “may” be taken to day camp, but only so adults can communicate with the Team directly.
