Registration is open now so head over to the Cedar Springs’ website today to register and learn more! Attached here, you will find free promotional material your church can use to spread the word about this summer’s camp.
As always, camp is not possible without the help of our amazing volunteers. From high school and college students to children’s pastors and parents, all can play a crucial role in a young child's spiritual walk by being a counselor at camp. Counselors come free of charge for the week, we simply ask the churches sending them to help cover their food cost of just $72. Camp isn’t possible without these amazing volunteers. To sign up and find more information check out the website.
Thank you for allowing Cedar Springs to partner with you in your ministry to build up the next generation of believers and future ministry leaders. We can’t wait to see you this summer as we Set Sail!
