Dear Camper,

As Camp Life 2008 approaches, a color comes to my mind. The color is silver. Silver in the Bible always speaks of redemption and then of course, silver also speaks of a twenty-fifth year anniversary. This is my twenty-fifth year as director of Camp Life International. As I say that, my mind is flooded with an infinite amount of memories over these past 25 years. When I think of the thousands of campers that have come through our program I am so grateful that we have had the opportunity to be involved in this great ministry; at the same time in my mind and in my heart I am wondering, where are those children now and how are they doing?

Certainly this is a year for us to celebrate and not only is it an anniversary for me, but it is also going to be one of the most unique camp programs in our history. Why you ask? This year we are going to do something unparalleled; because of time constraints and the onset of new school schedules, we are going to run both our Junior Camp and our Teen Camp simultaneously. How can we possibly do it? It is going to be a great undertaking but Camp Starlight provides us with the needed facility and the availability of our volunteer staff makes this great challenge possible as well. It is going to be quite a week together for this year’s Camp Life program.

We hope that the week we have chosen for Camp Life makes it possible for you to join us without interfering with the start of your new school year. This year’s camp program is going to be bigger and better than ever before. As we combine our two programs into one week, you can count on a superior quality as this has always been the goal for everyone associated. Camp Starlight is a facility with more than enough room to adequately provide the needs of both the Junior and Teen Campers.

Once again, we expect that this one week of Camp will be both life changing and historical. Twenty-five years later we are doing something a little different, but we expect from God the same great blessing and awesome results that we’ve had during the past years. It’s going to be a tremendous week, but remember that it is only going to be one full week this year for Juniors and Teens, so make your plans now, circle those dates on your calendar and we will see you at Camp Life 2008!

Camp Life provides a unique opportunity for the young person. Both parents and campers have shared life changing experiences due to Camp Life. A Statement of Faith is available upon request.

Camp Life has certified lifeguards and nurses on site. Our directors and counseling staff are pastors, lay workers, national and international Bible school students. The assistant cabin counselors are high school students selected on the basis of maturity, personal warmth, skill and experience. We maintain a one-to-seven counselor/camper ratio.
