Family Camp
Thinking of Family Camp this year? 74 have signed up so far, and space is limited! Thank you to those who have already registered!
For those who plan to come, but haven't signed up, please assist us by registering by this Friday 9/24 at noon to secure a reservation at Camp Courage.
Registration will be open until Tuesday, September 28, at 4:30 p.m., IF WE STILL HAVE ROOM!
Here are a few important facts to consider as you make your decision:
• Bishop Anthony is our speaker this year. A fun dynamic presenter, he will be speaking on the topic, "And He Shall Come Again." With all the crazy things going on in our world, it is a wonderful opportunity to think about the good news of Christ's second coming. We will have age-appropriate discussions for your kids, ages 4+, too! As a reminder, we do not have programming for little ones 3 and under.
• We are thinking about your safety! We have made the decision to have a smaller Family Camp where we can spread out a bit more. True Friends (Camp Courage) has provided their Fall Safety Plan and can be viewed here. Some of our meals may be outside under tents if weather permits. We will of course, ask anyone who is not feeling well to stay home. If this happens, please contact us ASAP. Doria or Jon will follow up with you.
• Because space is limited due to a smaller camp, register early, preferably by Friday, September 24, at NOON! As in the past, we will only be accepting credit card payments. Refunds will be allowed through September 28, at 4:30 p.m., less the 3.5% processing fee.
• Family Camp is for all members of our Orthodox Family! You don't need to bring children to join us! We already have had some empty-nesters register!
