CHILDREN'S CAMP 2009

Children's Camp this year will be held at a new place, Camp Sooner in Tecumseh, Oklahoma. 

The dates for Children's Camp are Friday-Sunday, July 17-19.

Forms and information are available at iclcnetwork.com or from the back table in the sanctuary.  Forms and camp fees are due in the office by Sunday, July 5.

AGE GROUP

Children’s camp is designed for those who have completed first grade through those who have completed sixth grade.  There are no provisions made either for activities or for childcare for younger children; therefore, we ask that everyone follow the age requirements given and not bring any child who has not completed the first grade.

COUNSELORS

We have one counselor for every five children. We also utilize junior counselors, making certain that they are mature and that they exemplify leadership qualities. There are adult counselors in each group as well as junior counselors. The counselors are required to attend all classes and activities with their children.

COST

The cost of camp is $95.00 per camper, which includes a camp shirt, an art/craft fee and snacks.  Counselors and Jr. Counselors pay for meals and snacks at a cost of $45.00, and have the option of ordering a camp shirt for $12.00 each. If more than the allotted number of counselors attends, full price must be paid to cover the cost of the camp.

Camp shirts will be available in children’s sizes: S, M, L, & XL. Counselor camp shirts will be available in adult sizes: S, M, L, & XL. To order an XXL shirt order, an additional $2.00 is required.

FORMS

Please fill out and sign the forms, add the cost, and turn in to Elaine or Ramona by Monday, July 6th. Checks are to be made payable to Family of Faith Church. You will have two forms: student registration and parent permission-release. If you are a counselor or a junior counselor, you will receive the appropriate form. Junior counselors must also have a parent permission-release form. Forms can be picked at the church and also available online at iclcnetwork.com.

REGISTRATION

Registration will begin at camp on Friday, July 17 at 2:00 P.M. We will meet at the church and leave as a group.
