Summer Camp 2017

Planning for our Summer Camp program has already begun! There are many pieces to fit together to make the summer camp season a success. The Region does not own a camp and conference facility so a part of the puzzle is securing dates at the sites that the Region uses to host our program. The Summer Ministry Team is excited to announce the dates for summer camp.

Chi Rho Camp @ Oakridge Camp & Conference
June 5-9

Junior Camp @ Central Christian Camp
June 19-23

Discovery Camp @ Central Christian Camp
June 23-25

CYF Conference @ Central Christian Camp
June 26-30

Grand Camp @ Camp Christian
July 17-21

Our partners in ministry at Texoma Christian Camp are also ready to announce 2017 Summer Camp dates.

Texoma Camp Week
June 15-22

Water Weekend @ Texoma Camp
July 28-30

First Christian in El Reno Helping A Local Resident

Mission work is local and global. And maybe, it’s not so much mission as much as helping a neighbor in need. Disciples are known for lending a hand in our local communities and in far off places too.

First Christian Church in El Reno is helping a local resident with some needed home repair and painting. Pastor Tara Dew took a few photos of the beginning work of scraping the house.

Summer Camp Season in Session

Last week the summer camp season began with Heifer Week. Rev. Paul Ragle (FCC Stroud) led the group this year. Youth in grades 7-10 along with three adults spent time learning about how citizens of other countries live, by living and working in similar conditions.

This week Kairos Campers (grades 4-8) are enjoying the balmy summer heat at Camp Christian. Rev. Will Smith (FCC Wagoner) and Rev. Cassie Sexton-Riggs (FCC Tulsa) are directing this week. Please keep Kairos Camp youth and the adult volunteers in your prayers.

This Friday, Discovery Camp @ Central Christian Camp begins for its weekend run and on June 20, Junior Camp begins. The week of June 27 is the last week of summer camp. Chi Rho Camp @ Oakridge Camp will begin and CYF Conference @ Central Christian Camp will begin.

Visit the Families and Youth page to connect to all the opportunities and stories about the Region’s programatic ministry with Children and Youth.

Mailing Error Sent Wrong Camper Letter

Late on Friday of last week I learned that we sent Chi Rho Campers the Discovery Camper letter last week. That is a mistake. I’ve been in touch with our printer and mailing service which will send the Discovery Camper letter to Discovery campers this week. Junior Camp, Chi Rho Camp, and CYF Camper letters will go out to mailboxes late this week. If you are anxious to receive your camper letter, visit the Families and Youth webpage and you can download the letter as well as learn about the Arrival and Departure Times for all our camps.

Thanks for your patience and understanding. Be well. Stay centered.

Assoc. Regional Minister
