RiverStone Summer Camp 2011

Informational Letter

 

This year our Summer Camp theme is “Relentless.”  Our dream is that we would raise up a generation that would be relentless in their pursuit of Jesus.  We desire our students to be hungry for His Word and have a longing for the Secret Place.  It is in this place of being relentless that He is able to download a message in our hearts that gives hope, can transform a generation, and can change the world.

 

We are excited to have the band, “Unhindered” leading us in worship this year.  You can check them out at www.unhinderedworship.com.

 

Our guest speaker for the week is Tom Fraley, a passionate, godly man that has a desire to see students walk in the fullness that God has for them.  Tom and his wife Leigh Ann are currently seeking the heart of the Lord as missionaries in Scotland.

 

Attached are a few details we feel you will find helpful to make your camp experience the best it can be.  Please read over them carefully and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

 

PARENTS: Please discuss the rules contained in this letter VERY CAREFULLY with your camper so that you and he/she fully understand what is expected during the week of camp.  Thank you!

 

- Cory Hallett and Kristin McLendon

~ SUMMER CAMP RULES ~

 

* Campers are expected to abide by all rules. 

 

* Please leave cell phones at home.  Any cell phone brought to camp will be taken up by cabin leaders and returned at the end of the week.  Phones are available at Mobley Hall anytime for free calls home.  Parents may reach their children by calling 770-786-6926 Ext. 3125 (Emergencies only, please!!!)  We do this because we desire our students to have a week that is set apart and we know that cell phones can be a huge distraction.  Thank you for your understanding.
