Attention parents that have kids going to high school and middle school camp at Lake Swan.
We will be leaving from the Belle Glade Alliance Church at 7AM on Monday, June 13th and we return on the following Saturday between 3-4PM (we will update Facebook when we are in Okeechobee). This year we will be taking two 15 passenger vans and a U-Haul trailer for the luggage.
Please make sure to have your child at the church and ready to leave at 6:45am so we have time to get the luggage loaded.
All kids will need to bring $30 for snacks and food on the way up and back. The money will need to be turned into Pastor Kevin prior to getting on the van.
Here is a list of items to consider packing:

• 2 Bath Towels

Electronics:
Campers are welcome to bring their cameras, phones, iPods, etc. However, we cannot be responsible for them if they are lost, damaged or stolen. Phones should remain in their rooms during sporting events and chapel.
We want this to be a great experience for you and your student. It is our sincere desire that they have fun, grow in their faith and come back home with an improved outlook on life! God is going to reveal His desire to meet with them personally during this week. Please pray for your camper and expect great things!
Emergency Contact Numbers:
In the event you have an emergency please feel free to contact Pastor Kevin at (772) 834-0402 or Matt at (863) 677-0646.
Dress Code:
It is Florida and it is hot. The idea is for the students to be comfortable; however, we need to recommend that you keep in mind that this is a camp where we want to focus our attention on God and not on enforcing a dress code. That means that we need you to consider what you feel God would have you wear. We want you to be modest, but understand that doesn’t mean wearing shorts down to your knees.
