Picking up where AWANA left off ...
We are offering a scholarship camp in Ohio in the tradition of the AWANA Scholarship Camp program that ended in 2006. It will be conducted at beautiful Camp CHOF in Dalton, Ohio. The camp dates are Saturday July 25 - Saturday August 1, 2009. Both Junior High (going into Grades 6-8) and Senior High (going into Grades 9-12+) campers will be participating in this week of camp; there will be a mix of general and age-specific activities for both groups.
Highlights of the week include Bible studies, Bible quizzing and challenging messages. Also included are swimming, team competition, crafts, sports, paintball, and other interesting and unique activities and games.
The complete cost of our seven-day Camp is $300.00. The first $100.00 of the registration fee must accompany the application, with the balance of the camp fee due by Saturday May 31. (This $100 deposit is non-refundable; partial or full refunds may be given at the discretion of the camp director depending on the circumstances of cancellation.) Registrations are accepted right up until camp starts or until all slots are filled, but registrations received on or after May 31 must be paid in full. Apply early as we have limited space. While our acceptance policy is generally first come, first served of those paid in full, we will accept children of camp staff ahead of others. The camp fee does not include transportation to the camp, spending money for the snack shop, chapel offerings, crafts, or nominal fees for special activities such as paintball. ($20-$40 is suggested) All other activities, team t-shirt, and team pictures on DVD are covered by the camp fee.
Campers and parents should be aware that daily Bible memorization and lesson work are expected of all campers. Please begin immediately to encourage all qualified club achievers to join us for a never-to-be-forgotten experience. Campers must be entering 6th grade or higher in the fall of 2009 and have earned an Excellence, Timothy, Meritorious or Citation or completed two years of Journey 24/7 requirements. The equivalent of one year's work is to be completed during the year before Camp. Example: T&T book 2 Discovery 2 through book 3 Discovery 1. (Contact us if you have any questions about this.) Junior High Campers must be at least 10 years old and High School Campers must be at least 13 years old by the first day of camp.
VERY IMPORTANT:
While we accept early applications from campers who are on pace to finish their books, campers must complete all eligibility requirements prior to attending camp. This will be verified.
Many volunteer counselors and staff are needed to run this exciting camp program. Please see the Staff Information pages for more information.
We are excited for and proud of these top achievers. We would love to spend a week with them! You will be glad they came. If you have any questions, please contact us.
