11 SUMMER 2018 REGISTRATION PRICES For the past several years, PRBC has only charged summer campers a discounted rate of the actual cost to attend and keep camp running. Our desire is that nothing would hinder a child from attending camp, hearing the Gospel, and being strengthened in the faith. Over the years, faithful donors of varying means have helped to keep campers costs low. However, the demands of a camp the size of PRBC can be daunting. In an effort to be better f inancial stewards, we are implementing a two tiered system for the registration cost of summer camps. Families have two choices when registering their children for camp. The f irst will be to pay what we have traditionally charged, a discounted rate of the actual cost. The second choice will be to pay the actual cost. Of course, for those unable to pay even the discounted rate of the actual cost, camperships will still be available. There is no pressure to pay more than what has been paid before. All we can ask is for those who have enjoyed the benef its Park River Bible Camp has brought to their children, grandchildren, church, and community to remember the f inancial cost associated with proclaiming the wonderful name of Jesus Christ through this ministry. Please call the Park River Bible Camp off ice at if you have any questions. camp Selections OPTION 1 TRADITIONAL COST OPTION 2 ACTUAL COST Preschool 1st Grade LITTLE TIKES CAMP: July 12, August 1 $75 1st-3rd Grade DAY CAMP: July 26, August 2 $75 3rd-4th Grade MINI CAMP: July 8 10, July $240 $320 4th-6th Grade ADVENTURE CAMP: July 8 13, July $360 $590 7th-9th Grade JUNIOR HIGH: July 15 20, July 29 August 3 $360 $590 9th-12th Grade SR.
