Summer Young Life Family Camp

12 Mar News & Events | Comments Off

Beloved,
Many of you have been blessed by the ministry of Young Life. Each year they have a family camp, advertised below. It is not, of course, a direct ministry of Redeemer, but it is one we support as a missions committee, and we all love Alan Miller and his family! The following I received from Jarrett Dodd, MD, a member of the local YL committee:

It’s time to mark your calendars! In less than 6 months the weather will be warm and your kids will be hating the fact that they have had to go back to school. Do you want to know how you can be a hero to your kids? Pull them out of school on the last Friday of August, pack them up and come to Young Life’s Rockbridge Alum Springs Camp in beautiful Rockbridge County for them to have the best weekend of their lives! And what’s really cool is that you will too!

The weekend will run pretty much the same this year as it did last year. Registration will start at 10 AM Friday morning and the camp will close 3PM Sunday afternoon. Last year the camp was run in very much the same way and everyone agreed that it was a huge success. Here are some of the details:

The camp is August 27-29.

The cost of the weekend this year is:

Adults $125
Children 3-11 $80
Children 2 and under FREE

What does this include?

Three excellent “all you can eat” meals a day (far better than you would ever expect)
A comfortable bed in dorms with hardwood floors, adjacent bathroom, and lounge area (not that you would ever stay inside!)
Babysitting in the evenings for the younger kids.
Outdoor activities that rival most amusement parks, including:
Scream swing, zip line, blob tower, ropes course, hot tub, swimming pool, basketball courts, sand volleyball courts, soccer fields, disc golf course, etc., etc., etc.
Young Life style entertainment that will leave you sore from laughter.

Let’s face it, you couldn’t spend a weekend at Busch Gardens, Kings Dominion, or Water Country for this kind of money!

Registration will require a $25 non-refundable deposit for each person attending to save your family’s spot. I’ve attached the brochure for you to print out and you can fill this out and send it with your check to YL Family Vacation, Box 3543, Lynchburg, Va. 24503. If you have any questions you can either call me (384-3560 or 258-6045) or email me.

This will be one of the best Family Vacations you will ever take. So, mark your calendars now and send in your registration! If you know others who may be interested, forward this to them. We’d love to have a huge Lynchburg contingent at Rockbridge this summer!
