Family and Youth Camp Opportunities
Do you want to go to summer camp?
Daycholah (formally Pilgrim Center in Green Lake) and Moon Beach (St. Germain) are two great camps that are ideal choices for people of all ages. Each week campers gather to share, play, relax and discuss not to mention, swimming, canoeing, crafting and making new friends.
Here’s what to do if you want to register for camp. Look at the brochure outside the church office. Information and registration forms are also available on the United Church Camps, Inc. website www.ucci.org. Fill out the registration form and mail it immediately to the proper address with your deposit.
If you wish to apply for financial aid, please fill out the Presbytery Campership Application (available in the church office or on Presbytery website http://winnebagopresbytery.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Camp-Scholarship-Application.pdf ) leaving the “amount your church can pay” line blank and give to Jennifer as soon as possible no later than April 12th.
