Summer Camps at Epworth By The Sea
2019 Summer Camps at Epworth By The Sea
Don’t miss out on the opportunity for your child to spend a week away from normal everyday life in the beauty of God’s creation with people who seek to share Christ in the everyday. Register today for Camp Connect, the camping ministry of the South Georgia Conference.
With an “Upside Down” theme this summer, a week at Camp Connect will teach campers how to turn the world upside down for Jesus. Diving into scripture and sharing life stories will show them they can make an impact for Christ in their own schools and communities.
“My prayer, as each camper registration comes through, is that everyone will have the opportunity to encounter Christ in a powerful, life-changing way during their week at camp,” said Suzanne Akins, Camp Director. “There is something so rare and unique about shutting down technology, looking eye to eye with people, sharing meals, laughing, playing, and worshipping together day after day, night after night.”
Each morning at camp begins with a Morning Show, an interactive, high-energy gathering with music, skits, and announcements for the day. From there, each team's day is filled with swimming, marsh walks, trips to the beach, fishing, Bible studies, art, and indoor/outdoor games. Each evening is a camp-wide activity bringing out the best of competitions. Camp closes each night with a worship service of meaningful skits, powerful music, testimonies, and relevant speakers.
College students who are committed to serving Christ through working with children and youth during the summer are the full-time camp counselors. Each staff member has been interviewed by the Camp Ministry Team, passed a background check, attended 10 days of training, and is supervised by Camp Director Suzanne Akins.
Each week of summer camp costs $315. Here are the dates for this year’s camps:
Elementary Camps for students entering grade 4-5
Session 1: July 8-12 (registration deadline June 24)
Session 2: July 15-19 (registration deadline July 1)
