Covid-19
As the variants continue to evolve, some Washington D.C. sites that no longer require proof of Covid-19 vaccination may alter their policies and entry requirements. Knowing this is a possibility, and that it would inhibit your participation in the trip once in Washington D.C., we recommend all Intersections participants be fully vaccinated (2 doses of Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca) or Johnson & Johnson shot, at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the trip. We encourage a booster shot as well. Mask requirements vary by site, so we advise participants bring a KN95 or N95 mask. The final itinerary is dependent on the availability of site openings due to Covid-19.

Summer Camp 2018 Rates & Registration Announced
Yes, summer camp registration is beginning later this year. You are not imagining it. We have changed our online registration program and wanted to make sure we have it working properly. There is a bit more testing to do. And, the Oklahoma Disciples Men needed extra time to confirm the “Leave No Child Behind” discount for campers from congregations in the Central Area and Northwest Area. We can announce that the LNCB discount will be $45 per camper. Summer Camp rates did not rise this year and the discount rate window is extended until May 1.
To prepare for camp registration download the Camp Guidebook and review it before you begin. We are collecting a bit more information this year to help better prepare our volunteers. You can only register for camp online. If you have questions please contact Rev. Michael Davison. (mdavison@okdisciples.org)
