1 Welcome to Camp Cedar Glen Summer Camps 2014! Do you Get Jesus? Dear Campers and Parents/Guardians, Camp is rapidly approaching and we are excited that YOU are going to join us this summer! We have been thinking and praying about this summer and about you. The staff is hired, the plans are set and now we are ready for a camp week filled with fun and fellowship. Now, a few things you need to know before you get here! The theme this year is Get Jesus. Be prepared to explore your faith, learn about who Jesus was, who He is, and what that means for you in your life. This year we are offering parents/guardians the opportunity to enjoy a little taste of the camp experience. On Sunday afternoon, after campers are registered and checked in, parents/guardians are invited to go with their campers to their cabins to meet the cabin counselors and the other campers and parents/guardians. After all campers have been checked in, we will convene in the chapel to go over camp rules, worship, sing songs, and learn more about the camp theme. After this chapel time, parents will be asked to say goodbye to their campers and make their way down the mountain, while the campers will meet in the dining hall for dinner. Our skilled and trained staff are just as excited as you are to be here this summer and are ready to lead you in awesome songs, silly skits, and great programming. We re pretty sure you ll even make some new friends along the way! Included with this letter is a list of drop off and pick up times, a packing list, our Camp Dress Code and the Camp Covenant. We would like you and your camper to look over this together and bring a signed copy to camp. We hope you will call us if you have any questions. (760) In Christ and for His service, Jason Kuiper, Director and The Camp Cedar Glen Family
