IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. It is a privilege to be at camp. If a child is abusing that privilege, Pastor Erik will call the parent and ask them to pick their child up. This is an absolute last resort. We have never sent anyone home from camp and hope we never have to. 2. The weather forecast at Lake Stevens around this time is typically HOT, but please prepare your children for rain and cold. We will update registered parents on the weather at the parent meeting. Pack accordingly and don t forget sunscreen! 3. Pray for your kids and their leaders! We have seen SO many lives impacted at camp and we expect this year to be no different.
