| We’re
getting ready for another summer of big fun and high impact
for the students in your youth group. Every summer we see
many, many students – away from the daily routine and
surrounded by a staff excited about following Jesus –
make significant, often life-changing decisions. And while
getting a kid to camp can make a huge difference in his or
her life – it’s nearly hassle free for you!
In fact, there is little else in your ministry that has such
a high “payoff” for the effort it takes to get
kids excited about camp – no program planning, no volunteer
leaders to recruit, no facility arrangements – just
you enthusiastically promoting an awesomely fun week! Here’s
how you can help your students get excited about Camp Spalding
this summer:
• Consider attending
with your students. The most effective way for you to recruit
kids to camp is to go with them. The best way for you to follow-up
on what God will do in your students’ lives at camp
is to share the experience with them, and then take it home.
Being a cabin counselor can be a powerful tool for life-changing
ministry. No charge for you, and we’ll get you all the
info you need in advance so you can hit the ground running
that first day of camp! (Plus, free fresh-brewed Starbucks
to keep you running all week long!).
• Pick a session and promote it as
you would your own event. You can let your students know about
summer camp - but you and I both know - unless you promote
the week as you would your own event, your kids are unlikely
to attend if they haven’t been before. Brochures in
their hands, regularly pumping it up, phone calls….you
know the routine. Remember – big payoff in changed lives!
• Gift Certificates!
Okay, you probably agree with all of the above. But you’re
still saying, “Come on. Get my attention.” So,
to sweeten the pot…gift certificates at cool places
like Old Navy and Eddie Bauer! Just call JP Phillips, associate
director, at (800) 566-1155 x. 11, and find out how bringing
kids to camp can keep you looking good!
We’re passionate about the value of this ministry, and
are truly grateful for your partnership with us! Give JP Phillips
a call if you are able to serve as a cabin counselor, if you’d
like a copy of the promo DVD, or if you’d like to find
out more about how you can make a high quality, big impact
week at Camp Spalding a major part of your ministry to students
this summer!
