Summer Camp Information

Lonnie Lorenz

With over 6,000 summer camps in the United States, finding the RIGHT camp can be a difficult task. So start doing your research.




Ia a perfect world you would start searching for a camp a full year before you sign up. That way you can visit the camps while camp is in session. That way you can look over the camp facilities, the campers, while giving you a chance to get a feel for the program and its personality. You may even save a little cash from signing up early. Having said that, Few of us are that organized so, don't lose hope. And start by late Winter or early Spring. Some camps do fill up quickly and you may not be in luck with a late start.







Some ways to find camps include: Word of Mouth, Churches or Synagogues, Library, Newspapers & Magazines, Local Camp Fairs and Private Camp Adviser's. However the most popular theses days is the internet. . By using google and typing the summer camp plus the state a huge array of camp listings will show up. Camp directories are another way to find a summer camp. These have many camps listed and a short overview of each camp. However, one of the best is American Camp Association or in the Midwest I’d look at CampsRus..com




It is important to have a goal in mind a check list of what your looking for in a summer camp experience. With that in hand start your search and use a check list to help narrow down your search. Once you have narrowed your search to four or five possibilities, call or e-mail the camp to ask for information. In addition to printed materials, most private camps also have a promotional video. Understand that these videos are promotional tools, but they will give you a visual image of the camp and the children.




Most families can not make a journey to camp while they are in session. But if you can, you will learn the most through direct observation and conversations. Call ahead for an appointment to make sure that you can visit on a day where you can see the program in action. The director may ask you to choose another day if your first choice falls when many campers would be off camp, or during visiting day or between sessions. If you can, review the camp's promotional materials before the visit.





We may have forgotten that Israel never returned from the Assyrian Captivity. God “scattered them among the heathen,” Ezekiel 36:19. Many migrated to Europe and intermarried with Christians and fled the medieval oppression to the New World. Now their 2730 years of "captivity" are ending. As with Israel when their time was up in Egypt, we may see that God will act. "He that scattered Israel will gather him,” Jeremiah 31:10.




We have forgotten, but in the Assyrian Captivity, Israel never returned. God “scattered them among the heathen,” Ezekiel 36:19. Many moved to Europe and intermarried with Christians. Many came to the New World for freedom. But now the 2730 years are ending and just as Israel's time was up in Egypt, “He that scattered Israel will gather him,” Jeremiah 31:10.




Israel was delivered from Egypt at Passover in connection with the Passover lamb. 1400 years later, a Jewish prophet proclaimed, “Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world,” John 1:29.




According to Christian belief, the Messiah fulfilled the Jewish sacrificial system of laws and “and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all,” Isaiah 53:6. He said, "Not one period or comma will pass from the law till all is fulfilled." Matthew 5:18. He also showed his concern for “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” that are still scattered to many continents today, Matthew 15:24.




This may have been on his mind when he used imagery from Egypt to foretell another midnight cry when deliverance would again be at hand, and another covenant made resulting in his Bride?—Behold, the Bridegroom comes!” Matthew 25:6.




Christians believe the Savior fulfilled the sacrificial system of the Jewish law and “and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:6. Known as a great teacher, he reflected concern for “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” that had been scattered, Matthew 15:24.






















You will surprise them with your defense. The facts, evidence, and case laws that you present will get you that dismissal.
