Canoes and Camp

Intern’s Summer Shindig
The interns have been planning a hang out night on the Thursday’s we are in town.  There will be no Shindig tonight, but they will plan on having one next Thursday at 6:00pm.


Canoe Trip - July 7-9
Due to housing issues we have been forced to cancel our trip to Sneedville, TN which was planned for the week of July 6-10.  This came to my realization a few weeks ago and Ive been trying to figure out a way to still make it happen but efforts have failed.  As a replacement opportunity we have planned a canoe trip to  Castleberry, AL.  We will leave from the building on Monday, July 7th at 7:00am and return on Wednesday, July 9th around 5pm.  The trip will involve canoeing several miles on Monday, camping monday night, canoeing all day on Tuesday, camping once again Tuesday night, and then canoeing the remaining bit on Wednesday morning to the end point.  This will be a “roughing it” type of trip but I think it will provide us with a great environment to spiritually focus on a few things while we are together.  Canoe rental for each person for three days will be $40 and teens will need to pack two lunches with them…. other meals will be provided.  Ill need to know by Sunday morning, July 6th, who will want to embark on this adventure.  Once those who are going have signed up Ill hit you with a little more detail on what your teen should bring with them.  


UY Camp 2014-July 20-25

Camp will once again be taking place at Fall Creek Falls in Tennessee.  The cost per camper is $110.  If you have multiple campers in your family you can deduct $10 per additional camper (I know its not much but trick yourself into thinking its a financial victory). This year Camp will be available for those entering the 6th grade through those who have just graduated.  Registration will be done online so you can click HERE to register your camper.  If you have multiple campers, you’ll need register each of them separately.  You can make checks payable to UCC and give them to me at your convenience.  Deadline for signup is Sunday, July 13.
