Now that school is out, we know that you’re looking for some exciting things to do this summer! Well, we’re delighted to tell you about some AMAZING things that are going on here at the church!  One of those is our annual trip to Falls Creek in Oklahoma for youth summer camp, June 20th – 25th.

If you’re not familiar with Falls Creek, we’re happy to share a little bit about one of our favorite places on earth!

The Parent Information Packet which discusses many of these details and includes each of the release forms can be downloaded here.

➡️ What is Falls Creek?
Falls Creek is the LARGEST youth camp in the WORLD. They are capable of hosting up to 7,000 students in one week! One Week! That is remarkable. And, while the size itself is pretty awesome, the things that happen during a week at Falls Creek are even more incredible.

➡️ Where do you sleep?
We will be staying in a cabin which holds up to 120 people (beds for 54 guys, 62 girls, and 2 cooks)! So, we’ve got plenty of room this year for you and all of your friends!

➡️ What do you do for fun at camp?
Games and Recreation are a major part of camp! They’ve got lots of tournaments in which churches can compete: 3-point basketball shoot out, disc golf, horseshoes, and volleyball, among others. If tournaments AREN’T your thing, maybe you’ll enjoy the skate park, High Ropes Challenge / Obstacle Course, Lake activities, or the hiking trails. And because its nestled in the heart of the Arbuckle Mountains, Falls Creek has some of the best trails to walk. For the truly brave of heart, there is even a 5K run for students and sponsors to compete in.

But the best part of the week… an opportunity to grow closer in your relationship with God. Students will be challenged to engage God in some of the most intense services with amazing worship and in-depth bible study in the tabernacle and in our own individual cabin times.

➡️ When is it?
We are going during the 3rd week of camp (June 20-25) and our Camp Leaders for the week will include Ryan Fontenot as our camp pastor and worship will be led by Jared Wood and band.

➡️ What is the theme for 2022?
The theme this year is “Choose” and it’s based on Colossians 2:6-7 — “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in him, being rooted and built up in him, established in the faith just as you were taught, and overflowing with gratitude.”

➡️ How much does it cost?
Prices will be based on the success of our fundraiser (Dinner & Dessert Auction) on March 27th. Tentatively, the prices will be…

◾ EARLY REGISTRATION (through Easter Sunday, May 8th): $55
◾ NORMAL REGISTRATION (May 9th through May 22nd): $75
◾ LATE REGISTRATION (After May 22nd): $115
✳️ A $40 deposit is required to secure registration

➡️ Are scholarships available?
Yes, there are a limited number of partial / full scholarships available. We never want finances to be a reason that a student cannot attend Falls Creek. We do ask families to contribute as much as possible toward the cost of camp, so we can help an greater number of students and families with camp. If you are in need of financial assistance, make sure to fill out your scholarship application, no later than May 22nd! Scholarship applications can be downloaded here….

➡️ Parent’s Meeting
There is a mandatory parent’s meeting that all students and parent’s must attend on June 12th in the Fellowship Hall at 11:45-ish am. We will highlight some of the new and exciting changes at Falls Creek and discuss the expectations for 2022
