Time For C.A.M.P. |
|
August 3-9,2008
C.A.M.P. stands for
Constructing
Assured &
Motivated
People,
something it has done for nearly 53 years. (This Summer’s session w
ill be the 53rd annual C.A.M.P.)
Motivational in nature, it is also
highly spiritual, though completely interdenominational It is also
interracial. Through the years C.A.M.P. has received its share of
accolades: From Parents Magazine, Successful Meetings Magazine, Ohio
Governor Gilligan, President George H.W. Bush, and from several Ohio
mayors, However, the camp directors, Dave and Janny Brizius,
consider the most meaningful honor is the fact that so many young
people return year after year (as long as age allows) and then
return after that as volunteer staff--paying their own way often
from as far away as Alaska and the Marshall Islands to “pay back”
for what they received at C.A.M .P.
C.A.M.P is one week only--always the
first full week of August.. (making it August 3 through 9 in 2008.)
Campers sleep in log cabins in the Tar Hollow Resident Camp with
staff to camper ratio of at least 1-7. Meals and many programs
happen in a large rustic lodge. A beautiful little lake accommodates
boating, fishing, and swimming activities. The camp is staffed with
plenty of qualified life guards for all waterfront activities
Other areas of interest from which
campers may choose several include arts and crafts, sports of all
kinds( including archery., fencing and rappelling), band, choir,
journalism, dance, drama and more. Each area of interest is geared
for developing self esteem
Young people grades 6 -9 are in the
Junior Camp while those in grades 10 - June HS Grads are in the
Senior camp. Both operate simultaneously, getting together for most
meals and for special programming.
The camp fee is all-inclusive. (No
need for campers to have any money at camp) and includes room,
board, Camp T-Shirt, Camp color photo, all treats, field trips, and
costs for any other incidentals. The all volunteer staff enables the
fee to be just $195.00. (If paid in full by June 14- $175.00)
There is also a $10.00 per camper
discount for multiple siblings in the family attending. There will
be no discounts on any cancellations after July 1. Prior to July 1,
the full fee is refundable should the camper be unable to attend.
2008 C.A.M.P. Registration blanks are
now available on-line at
www.sfacamp.org. Registrations are accepted on a First
come/First served basis. It is suggested that those interested not
hesitate too long as the camp regularly fills up by mid July.

camp directors at (937) 365-1388.
