Summer Camp Registration Open Pushed to Feb 13

 

 

 

Our Summer Camp Directors are recruiting counselors and the preparations that make our Summer Camp program happen are in process. Many have downloaded the Camp Registration Guidebook and are ready to register for one of the camps.  We want to make sure our technology and process is right when registration opens, so we need to push the opening of Camp Registration to Feb 13. This will allow our technology be ready (yes, we register online), and help us finalize the funding support from the Leave No Child Behind Grant.

Thank you for your patience.  If you have questions about the Camp Registration process, please contact Rev. Michael Davison.

A Look Back @ 2016

A short five minute and thirty second look back at our program ministries for children and youth this year. There are many, many people that help nourish our program with time, extensive talent, and yes, dollars. We thank our congregations for including  children, youth, young adult, and summer camp in your budgets, planning, and participation in the Region.  This is a missional ministry we share.

Thank You:

  • Camp Directors and Camp Counselors
  • Regional Youth Council Youth and Adults
  • The adults that volunteer in our congregations to bring meals, drive the van or bus, help with scholarships, attend a retreat, and listen to the children and youth in your midst.
  • Young Adults, Youth, and Children for being You and involved in your Church.
  • Daniel U’Ren and the members of the Commission with Children, Youth, and Young Adults.

The Commission with Children, Youth, and Young Adults is committed to teach the language of faith and the practice of Christianity for the Church today; and tomorrow.

qk2016-31

The Region gathered at Oakridge Camp near Anadarko for Qahal/Koinonia.  The Regional Youth Council welcomed 115 youth and adults from across the Region to consider how to be authentic in our journey of faith following Jesus.  Oh, and there was play, worship, prayer, and workshops.  The speakers inspired the groups and the perfect fall day for our Saturday afternoon outdoor play offered participants the chance to step away from the struggles of the world and relax.

The Regional Youth Council thanks our speakers: Rev. Drew Kirtley, Pastor Tara Dew, Rev. Pam Holt, and RYC Executive Officers Sami Frame and Abby Peters.  We also want to thank all the adults that volunteered their time to be present with their groups.  Event like this and summer camp cannot happen without the adult that give of their time, life experience, and faith experience.

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.
