#1 Winter Camp - I’ve printed up some applications for winter camp and have the application online as well on the old camp web page. Get the applications in soon since we only have room for 70. After that, I’m sorry! First come first serve! Remember, there are no sponsors for this camp. Cost is $80, so save up your money! We’ll have the camp again at Camp Lebanon, near Clinton, NJ.

#2 New Location For Our Summer Camp - Lord willing we will be at “Pocono Environmental Education Center” (PEEC) for camp this summer. It is about 10-15 miles past our old camp and is just across the Delaware River from New Jersey in Pennsylvania. You’ll love the lunchroom, “yurt” dormitories for guys and some other things about the new camp! Their web page is http://www.peec.org. Pay special attention to the page where there are pictures of the facilities we will be using. Check it out! It’s also fun to check the camp out on google earth. More information about why we had to change camps on our old camp web page.

We will have to raise prices for camp a  little, probably to $285 for one camper, $465 for two, etc. Help me find sponsors for those who can’t pay this! 

I’m excited about our new place and thankful for the people who sacrifice so we can have camp and to God who motivates them to help us.

Hey all!!

I haven’t posted in a while, but here are a few pictures from this past weekend.  I had a lot of fun hanging out with people, driving over to Exton, staying at the Halls, going to the morning studies at East Orange, and then to Fair Lawn for the evening stuff.  I love my weekends. =)

Alright kids, mark your calendars!

We are planning to have our annual bonfire on the day after Thanksgiving. We are planning to change it up a little bit though and have some extra studies before hand. Our plan is to have three studies - at 3, 4, and 5 respectively. We are going to study the prayers in Ezra 9, Nehemiah 9, and Daniel 9, and then spend some time praying.  After that we will take a break and have dinner (pot luck style), and then have a singing around the fire. The studies will most likely be in our garage, and then we will go outside for the fire. This is for all ages and people from any congregation, so tell your friends and if your parents want to come they are more than welcome =)

I’m glad to see that Jennifer Portillo from camp in 2000, 2001 checked in. Jennifer, let us know where you are and how to contact you. Hope more alumni will do that!

Looks like Dorca, Priscila, Genesis, Gary, Anthony and maybe Ernesto or Ezequiel and I will be going to Canada this weekend. We’ll go to the Stephens’ in Wellandport. Sorry I don’t have room for any more in my minivan. Pray for us! 

If you’re over 14, Remember winter camp is January 16-18. I’ll get out some applications in the next week or two Lord willing. 

 

Who’s going to have post #100? Love to all, Gardner

last night i took Kelvin Anthony Kevin Genesis and Lucy to Washington for church because they have thursday off school (way to go Jews!) all except for Lucy (sorry Lucy). 

It was a blast.  Church is fun.  When i was growing up i never thought of church being fun.  It’s better when you love God more and go with people that you love.  I’m a lucky dude. 

BYE!

So today I woke up, and had breakfast with mom and Mel. I sat in on their daily Bible reading and prayer. Then I did some odds and ends around the house, went to the store with my mom to look for some long sleeved shirts (because I’ve been f-f-f-reezing!), and then picked Mel up from work at the library. Then I cleaned out the horse stall, and now i’m off to clean up before going to dinner at Dan and Heather’s and teach Bible class to the kiddos at Washington. Ahhh, I love Wednesday nights. I’m pretty crazy about my Washington family =)
