Family Camp 2011

Family Camp - For all ages
July 2 to July 10, 2011

This camp is funded through your generous donations.

There is no fee for Camp. (Offerings will be received in services)

Decription:
We kick off our summer programming with a week of family oriented camping and activities.

Family Camp is a time to break away from our everyday lives and make lifelong memories, invest in our children and other family members, and become stronger families.

So come, spend time playing with your kids, sit by the fire, make a new friend or two, grow in your faith, and learn more about Jesus, and laugh into the night.

There are activities and opportunities for people of every age!

RETURNING THIS YEAR:

The BLYTHE PUPPETTEERS are always a real hit with the kids. Les and Jackie Cook have served in this ministry not only at Maple Grove, but at a number of camps and programs throughout SW Ontario. They are committed to the teaching of God's Word through special games and activities that keep the kids entertained and active while learning truths about Jesus Christ and His Word. Pray for their ministry this year.
