Dear Confirmation and Elementary Students and Parents,
Our week of Confirmation Camp and Elementary Camp (June 22nd – June 27th) is fast approaching. It won’t be long before we head out to Camp Living Waters in Luther, MI for the second year in a row. I am really excited about camp this year and I hope that you and your child are too! If you are interested in a great week at camp, please see the information below.
This note is preceding a letter that is being sent to all parents of 3rd-8th grade students. In the letter is a registration form. Please fill out the top part of the Registration Form as well as the middle grey box entitled “Middle School Camp” or “Junior Camp” with respect to your student’s grade (as of Fall 2014). Please make sure to pick the week of June 22-27. While filling out the top part of the Registration Form, please include the name Jordan Palladino in the section with the header “Please supply name(s) of other(s) authorized to pick up your camper”. Concerning the grey box on the form, you will find a list of activities on the informational sheet; the chosen activity will be the main set of activities your camper will partake in during the week. Please leave the bottom (under “Payment Information”) blank.
Since this is our second year at Camp Living Waters, we applied for an early registration discount. This means that camp will cost the same amount this year as it did last year! With Trinity contributing a $100 discount, the cost for camp is $165 for Junior Camp and $175 for Middle School Camp. All students that will be entering 4th or 5th grade in the fall are welcome to attend Junior camp and students entering 6th-9th grade are welcome to attend the Middle School Camp (Camp Living Waters allows our current 8th graders to attend camp as well, despite what the signup suggests)
Please turn in this form with payment to the church office by Sunday, April 27th to register.
Do not mail it to the camp!
Once we have all of the Registration Forms, Camp Living Waters will make available to us their Medical Form along with a packing list, which will be sent to you along with the Trinity Health Form (if not already on file). If you are going to do any activity that costs extra (paintball, horse rising, ect.) please include that in the total cost paid. Checks can be made out to Trinity Lutheran Church, or you may use the giving kiosk in the church lobby (arrangements can be made if cost is an issue).
If you do not receive a letter in the mail, or if you want more information for a friend, additional sign up forms will be on the youth board in the lobby and there will be Camp Living Waters informational brochures at the welcome center.
We will meet in the church parking lot at 12:30 on Sunday, June 22nd. Please eat lunch before arriving, as we will not be stopping for a meal on the way there. Parents, plan to stay with us for a brief send-off before we make our drive off to camp. Students will be returning on Friday, June 27th, around 8:30pm. We will be stopping for dinner on our way back to Midland. We will need a few parents to help us drive the campers to and from camp. Please let me know if you would like to assist.
I am sorry that this information is falling so close to Spring Break. Please forgive me for any inconvenience.
Please contact me with any concerns or questions.
In Him,
Jordan Palladino
