Theme: Obstacles “Build a road! Build a road! Prepare the way! Remove every obstacle in the way of my people!” – Isaiah 57:14
Description: There are many obstacles that keep people from Christ and from being involved in His church. Overcoming a number of these obstacles will be the focus of High School Mission Camp this summer. For the first three days of camp, students will serve in Columbia overcoming obstacles with Special Needs Ministry, Deaf Ministry, and Internationals Ministry. The last three days of camp will be spent in Myrtle Beach, where students will have a blast while continuing the conversation of how to overcome these and other obstacles. Cost: $279 ($79 deposit required at the time of registration) Scholarship funds are available. To apply for a partial scholarship, download a Scholarship Application and submit to Student Ministries' office by Wednesday, June 13. Camp registration deadline is Sunday, June 17. Lodging: Sunday & Monday nights, students will stay in the EFLC at FBC Columbia. Tuesday – Thursday nights, students will stay at the Myrtle Beach Christian Retreat Center in North Myrtle Beach. What to Bring: (Please put your name on all of your belongings) - Bible - Notebook / Journal & Pen - Toiletries (Toothbrush, Soap, Shampoo, etc.) and personal items - Bath Towel and Beach Towel - Sunglasses (and hat) - Sunscreen - Money for 2 fast food meals on the road (+ $ for snack shop at Beach – optional) - Bedding Sunday – Monday: Air Mattress / Sleeping Pad, Sheets / Sleeping Bag, Pillow Tuesday – Friday: 2 Flat Sheets, Blanket or Sleeping Bag, & Pillow Case - Modest Swimwear* - Nice Casual clothes for 3 Evening Activities & Play clothes for daytime activities - Tennis shoes and flip-flops for the beach - A water bottle with your name on it - Flashlight - Medications (need to be checked in at registration) - Snacks *Swimsuit / Clothing Rules… As a general rule, First Student Ministries has a “no hoochie” policy on swimwear and other clothing. We don’t care if your swimsuit is 1, 2, or 12-piece, as long as it is modest. Although we have a general “modesty rule,” some of the places we stay have more specific rules. While we are on campus of the Myrtle Beach Christian Retreat Center, you will be expected to adhere to their rules, which state: “Modest one-piece or tankini swim suits for the females and trunk like suits for the males. In addition, ladies, we do not allow spaghetti-strap tank tops or halter tops of any kind. We strive to maintain a wholesome atmosphere and an appropriate level of modesty.” Clarification (before you ask, ladies)… While at the beach, you can wear any modest swimwear (1 or 2 piece). While we are at the MBCRC (swimming pool, etc), you MUST adhere to their policy stated above, or wear a shirt over your 2-piece. Registration: Registration is full. Please make sure to turn in your deposit of $79. If you would like to pay by credit card you have two options, pay in full or pay the deposit. **We will need to collect a Health and Media Release and Permission/Community Covenant Form on each student. Please print off and submit to Student Ministries.
