ARVBA Church Camp
June 15th - 19th
For years church leaders have heard that nearly nine out of ten Christians accept
Jesus as their Savior brfore the age of 18. If that statistic was accurate in the past, it
no longer depicts actual U.S. society.
When we see numbers like these, we are reminded of the importance of our annual
Associational Church Camp. Each year students in grades 3 through 12 have the
oportunity to hear about Jesus, learn about His love for all people, and the possibility
of meeting Him on His own terms.
Even though we host a diverse range of ages, our Camp is amazingly age-graded.The
Children (grades 1-4),
Middle-Schoolers (grades 5-7) and Youth (grades 8-12) each have separate Worship and Bible study facilities. Lunch and
dinner are staggered with the children arriving at the cafeteria first. Swimming, waterslide, and Paddle Boat times are divided
by age while swimming and waterslide times are divided by gender as well. For all intents and purposes, we host three
seperate camps in one awesome week!
At $165.00 the cost to send your child to Camp is among the lowest anywhere. The reason we are able to provide so much
for so little is that each year a multitude of passionate volunteers accompany the kids to Camp and expertly fill every position.
From teachers to lifeguards, Worship Leaders to Preachers, no camper is without the adult supervision and compassion each
one deserves.
Below you will find links to all the forms needed to register for our Annual Church Camp. Just download the material, fill it
out and RETURN IT TO YOUR CHURCH by the date listed. (please note and follow any instructions contained in the

ARVBA Church Camp
June 15th - 19th
For years church leaders have heard the
claim that nearly nine out of ten
Christians accept Jesus as their Savior
before the age of 18. If that statistic was
accurate in the past, it no longer depicts
actual U.S. society.
The current Barna study indicates that nearly half of all
Americans who accept Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord do
so before the age of 13 (43%). Another 21% accept Christ
between the ages of 14-18. Only 1 out of 8 born again
people (13%) made their profession of faith while 18 to 21
years old.
When we see numbers like this, we are reminded of the
importance of our annual Associational Church Camp.
