Archery Camps for 2015

Great news...we've finalized our schedule for our Archery camps for Summer 2015.  Archery Camp is a great "wilderness" type experience for young people where Archery is taught (that's bows and arrows, we provide the equipment) and practiced in a supervised environment.  In addition there are opportunities for worship and Bible study each day, as well as the enjoyment of God's creation.  Campers sleep in Tepees and help prepare their own meals outside each day.  Those who have gone through it have testified to how fun and meaningful it was.

This year we will have three sessions:
There will be a boy's archery camp for ages 5th through the 8th grade.
There will be a younger girls archery camp for ages 5th through 7th grade.
There will be a older girls archery camp for ages 8th through 10th grade.

Registration (by mail) will open April 1 and close June 1.  There are only 12 spots open for each session, so get your registration in as soon as you can!  Click on the 2015 schedule link above for info about dates and prices.  Hope to see you this summer!

My friend Chauncey, minister of the gospel and longtime friend of the camp, posted this picture on Facebook yesterday.  He included this message:

"It is certainly not the 9th inning, our God is Great! It is, however, time to step up to the bat if you are able. At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors it was made known that $5,500 of an operating expense loan for last season still needs to be paid off. Additionally, there is a projected deficit to meet the budget for the coming camp season. Those present made it a goal to raise $25,000 before the beginning of the camp season, which is only 3 1/2 months away. I truly believe we can do it! Maybe you are not the one to hit a grand-slam homerun, but right now a bunch of 'hits' will add up to accomplish the goal. The address is available by clicking on the link provided above. Let's come together for this very important cause!
Please share this post and pass the word."

I'm excited about Chauncey's enthusiasm and the potential for God's people to respond to his appeal.  The camp is in need, so if you are able to help would you consider a one time, or regular monthly gift to be sent to:  Prairie States Christian Service Camp, P.O. Box 363, Watseka, IL 60970.

God is the giver of all good things, and we know he will continue to provide for us as we pray for his provision.  Pray with me that he will put it in the hearts of his people to give generously so that we might continue to teach young people about Jesus Christ until he returns!
