Below is a camp schedule at Camp Barbee. There are camps for those in Kindergarten through high school. There are camps for those who are into sports or music, as well as traditional camps.

Note: camp registrations should be turned in by May 1st to be sure of having a spot at camp.

The church will make scholarships available again this year. The amount is uncertain and depends on how many will be going and the support of funding from the congregation. This year, we are asking that all campers complete the forms no later than APRIL 1 and have them turned into the office. No funds are needed at that time, but it will give the Christian Education Committee a good idea of where things stand.
