Time to Pack

Since there are now only 30 days until camp you might want to start thinking about packing.  Below is a packing list that might help you as you prepare for camp.

Senior Teen 2010 Packing List

Lots of clothes. Be prepared for all kind of weather.

Extra socks. There is a good chance your feet will get wet often.

A Sweatshirt. We are praying for cool mornings.

Dark Clothes . We will be playing many night games.

Sneakers. You will be in need of sturdy shoes!

Sleeping Bag or Sheets & Pillow. There will be no overnight so you will be sleeping every night on a bed or a cot.

Shower items & Beauty Products. Remember though you do not need to pack the whole bathroom.  We will be playing too much to worry about if our hair is in place.

A Towel. For some reason we always forget this item.

Camera. If you can’t find your camera it’s ok.  We post all of our pictures on Flickr for your enjoyment.

A Bible.  If you don’t have a Bible, we would be happy to give you one.  Just let us know.

Clothes/Costume for the Decade party.  At the end of the week we are having a decade party.  Bring an outfit from any decade 1900-2000.  Bring extra clothes for your friends who may not be reading this.

Off the top of my head that is all I can think of at the moment.  If you have been to camp before and you think of something to add to my list, please leave a comment.  Enjoy packing and remember there are only 30 days left!

Don’t Forget: Youth Group Contest

In case you are new to the blog or if you forgot, let me take a moment to tell you about the Youth Group Contest we are running!

What to Expect

We are so excited that you are interested in coming to Camp Timberledge Senior Teen 2010.  If this is not your first time at Senior Teen, welcome back!  We have missed you!  If this is your first year, you are in for a week like you’ve never experienced before.  Regardless of how many years you have attended, here is a little note to let you know what to expect this summer.

First and foremost, expect the unexpected!  Although we have a written schedule, it is forgotten within the first hour of the day.  The most important thing to know is that we have a plan and we will let you know the details as soon as you need to know.

Come to Senior Teen 2010 expecting to be challenged.  Mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally you will be asked to reflect on yourself and others.  You will not be pushed or forced to do any activity, but you will be encouraged to put yourself beyond your comfort zone so you can experience all that our week has to offer.

While you are having the time of your life it is important to note that there are rules at camp.  We ask that you leave all cell phones, cd players, personal electronics, and bad attitudes at home.  They will not be needed.  Remember that we are drug and alcohol free.  You will not need it.

Please note the camp dress code on the Camp Timberledge website http://www.camptimberledge.org/camps.asp.

One thing that you need to know is that you will get dirty and wet at senior teen.  We do not shy away from the rain and mud, but on the contrary we will welcome it.  Please make sure that you have lots of clean clothes, extra shoes, a warm sweatshirt or three, and dark clothing for night games.  We will be playing hard so please bring sneakers!

This week is sure to be the best week of your summer!  We have spent months planning, prepping and praying that God will do a mighty work.  We ask that you come with an open mind and an open heart.  Above everything, we are putting you campers first!  We love you guys and we are taking a week from our lives to hang out with you.  If you have any thoughts or concerns, please be open enough to ask.
