I wanted to take a few minutes to let you know about our new Specialty Camps we will be offering this year at Prairie States in addition to our classic weeks of camp. Thanks to a generous grant from the Arthur and Genesa Griffin Trust we were able build a new camp site to conduct archery camps. This summer we are doing a high school boys archery camp, and a junior high boys archery camp. You can find the schedule for these on this website or in the camp brochure. The concept of these camps combines training in archery with a wilderness camp experience and the passage from boyhood to becoming a man of God. Campers will stay in Teepees and food will be prepared on site. Each session will have only 12 campers, so I'm encouraging you to register now. The deadline for registration is June 1.
Our other specialty camp this year is Deeper Life. This is for the 16-20 year old Christian who desires to have a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God. This will be a serious and intense week, and enrollment is limited. Every camp will need to have a letter of recommendation from an elder or minister of their home church. This will be a great opportunity to grow in Christ. Registration deadline is June 1.
We have scheduled our specialty camps in such a way that those who desire to, may participate in both specialty camps and our classic weeks of camp. We will continue, in these classic weeks, to provide teaching about Jesus in a Christian environment with wholesome recreation and an opportunity to form lasting friendships. Our big hope is that through these Specialty Camps we are able to do even more of that this summer!
For the cause of Christ,
Dustin
