In just twelve more days, our Little Camp will open the camp season. It will be great to see the kids coming onto the grounds; many for the first time. Here's what's been going on here lately: Slowly but surely, the pool is being readied for use on the 8th. During the winter it fills with sticks, leaves, and other miscellaneous items, and becomes a home for frogs, turtles, and sometimes snakes. The good news is that we now have all that cleaned out. In addition many of the buildings have been cleaned and are ready for use, and the Milford Christian Church has sent a team out that is completely redoing the miniature golf course.
Meanwhile, off the campgrounds, our manager, Neil, has been traveling to various churches promoting the work of the camp and sharing the accomplishments of last summer. If he hasn't been to your church yet, drop us an email to "book" him for a date.
Also tonight three of our summer staffers graduated from Milford (IL) High School. Congratulations to Brianna Alt (Life Guard), Alissa Runkle (First Aid Coordinator), Macey Ward (3rd Cook). In other words everything is going according to plan.
Available on this website, you'll see our camp schedule as well as down-loadable registration information. Please take a look at that. Camp is a great place for kids to come and spend a week having fun, meeting new friends, and getting to know Jesus Christ. I know I'm looking forward to it!

A Busy Weekend
Things are starting to get very busy around here. Tomorrow is the first of our scheduled camp workdays (the others are May 28 and June 4). Groups will be at the camp starting at around 9 in the morning. Paxton Church of Christ and Prairie Green Church of Christ are both scheduled for tomorrow, as well as possibly others. Come join us and let's get 6some work done before the BIG DAY (June 8, the first day of camp.)
There's another way you can help the camp this weekend, as well. On Sunday Evening at 6:30pm central, the Good Twins, a nationally known gospel group, will be in concert at the Milford (IL) Christian Church. THIS IS A BENEFIT CONCERT FOR THE CAMP. There is no charge for admission, but a love offering will be taken and 100% OF THE OFFERING WILL GO TO THE CAMP. This is part of the mission work that the Good Twins do on behalf of parachurch ministries affiliated with churches of Christ throughout the country, and we are certainly grateful to benefit from this work. Please come to the concert to support our ministry here, as well as to show your appreciate for the Good Twins, who are "Timothies" of Ludlow Christian Church, one of the churches in our own camp area. As always please contact us if you need more information. Pray for our work here, presenting the gospel of Christ to children and families.

Camp is Just Around the Corner
That's right, in just a few weeks (June 8 to be exact) we'll be starting another busy camp season. Volunteers are already hard at work cleaning the buildings, reroofing the dean's cabin, and doing some much needed remodeling to the bathrooms in the girls' dorm (sorry boys you'll have to wait another year!). It won't be long before this place is filled with children and students swimming, playing, meeting new friends, and, most importantly, learning about the Lord Jesus Christ.
If you're reading this and your not familiar with the Prairie States Christian Service Camp, feel free to peruse our site and glean any information you can. Also, contact us if you have any questions. You'll find that, at a mere $80 a week (including meals), our camp is an unmatched value, compared to the cost of many other camps. We are able to do this through the continued generosity of the churches and individuals who make this ministry possible through their prayers, financial contributions, and volunteers. We invite you to come to our little camp and see for yourself--Prairie States Christian Service Camp: Where Friendships Begin.
