Good Morning!
This morning I'm thinking about crazy games, loud music, staying up all night, eating tons of junk food, swimming, canoeing, camp fires, praise and worship, missions- yes, I'm thinking SUMMER CAMP!!
I know that it is only January, but it will be here before we know it, and I know many of you have your calenders full before Spring gets here!
Last year around November, I called to reserve spots for Centrikid camp and discovered that there was an extremely long waiting list for all of the weeks of Centrikid Camp at Norman Park Assembly, so I got on the waiting list (we are the third church listed for the week of July 23-27). Realizing that the likelihood of us getting those spots is very slim, I began searching for other possibilties. I looked at Centrikid Camps in other locations and I looked at the possibility of the Centrikid weekend camps at Norman Park Assembly (no waiting list).
Another consideration was hosting a Winshape Day Camp at FBC.
After much deliberation, the Children's Committee decided that this year we would offer the Centrikid weekend camp (Friday-Sunday) on July 20-22 at Norman Park Assembly. It is a condensed version (yet still extremely fun) of the week long Centrikid Camp. Yes, kids still get to play the extremely crazy game OMC (they will ask this question I promise). This will be for children who have completed 3rd grade, as well as those who have completed grades 4th and 5th. A deposit of $50 is due by Sunday, February 12th. The total cost is $148. The theme this year is "Game On...Living the Transformed Life."

We are also offering another option this year! We decided to check out the Winshape Day Camp in hopes of possibly hosting a camp at FBC Moultrie in 2013. I have spoken with the Camp Coordinator for the Winshape Camp in Thomasville, and she would love to have our children participate in their day camp June 18-22 at the Thomas County Middle School! Parents would need to sign their children up online; the cost is $184 for the week. It is open for children who have completed first grade through those who have complete fifth grade. The camp is Monday through Friday and we will take the church bus to and from the camp each day. I'm hoping to receive promotion material soon, so more information is coming soon!
