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 $160.00 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.

Article: Three Things Every Church Camp Should Be

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.
Each
year
students
in
grades
theough
12
have
the
oportunity
to
learn
about
Jesus,
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),
MiddleSchoolers
(grades
5-7)
and
Youth
(grades
8-12)
each
have
seperate
Worship
and
Bible
study
facilities.
Lunch
and
dinner
are
staggared
with
the
children

the

Swimmimg,
waterslide,
and
Paddle
Boat
times
are
devided
by
age
and
swimming
and
waterslide
times
are
devided
by
gender
as
well.
It
can
actually
be
said
that
for
all
intent
and
purposes,
we
host
three seperate camps in one awesome week!.
At
$160.00
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
adult
supervision and compassionate each one deserves.
Camp
registration
forms

other

will
be
mailed

our
churches
each
year
