300 Campers from 30 Congregations
Help us reach our goal this summer. We want to grow our program to reach 300 campers representing 30 Oklahoma Disciples congregations this summer. Have you registered a camper for Church Camp this summer? All the Region sponsored camps are during June. The Region has recruited directors who are recruiting counselors to serve at Chi Rho Camp, CYF Conference, Discovery Camp, and Junior Camp. All of our directors and counselors are volunteers from our Oklahoma congregations. And, the past few years we have been selected to welcome a Disciples Peace Fellowship Intern to Chi Rho Camp and CYF Conference.
The Commission for Children, Youth, and Young Adults (CYYA) oversees our camp program and retreat ministry. The CYYA is seeking financial support for the camp program. We pass on the cost of our adult volunteers to each camper, making our camp fees higher. If your congregation doesn’t send campers or you don’t have campers to send or adults to volunteer, you can be part of the summer church camp program by sponsoring (paying) for an adult volunteering their time. We will accept gifts until May 1st, then take the balance, do some math, and apply an additional discount to all campers registered by April 24th. Would you like to be involved? Contact Rev. Michael Davison (mdavison at okdisciples dot org) or Rev. Bill Hemm, co-chair of CYYA (hemmco22 at gmail dot com).
