Summer Camp

 

Camp Chestnut Ridge: (for rising 1st - 8th graders)  Chestnut ridge has 362 acres of forest and a 10-acre lake.  Signature programs include:  the community farm, challenge courses and environmental education.

 

Campers are invited July 23-27 &/OR August 6—10th, 2012 for a week of day camp, or (NEW this year) a week of residential camp August 6-10th! Find out what makes residential camp special at: http://campchestnutridge.org/index.php/resident-camp-special.

 

 

 

Instructions:

 

1.  Go to  https://registration.campbrain.com/Portal/Login.aspx?H=ChestnutRidge&G=117 - and follow the instructoins to register online with Camp Chestnut Ridge (this is just like last year).

 

2.  Once you log in you will choose "Church Day Camp" and then select the week and camp you want. It will say "First UMC Cary" on July 23-27 &/OR August 6—10th, 2012. These are Sessions G & I. 

 

3.  Overnight campers will use the same exact link, they will just choose "Resident Camp" and then sign up for the week and camp that they want. It will not say "First UMC Cary" for the resident campers, but we would encourage you to choose August 6-10th, as that's when your other camper friends from FUMCC will be there.  Overnight campers arrange their own transportation.

 

4. All paperwork and payments can be completed on-line, except for the Health History Form.  You will print this form, have it filled out and bring it with you on your first day at camp. Campers without this form will not be allowed on the church transportation.

 

5.  Go to Sign Up Genius:  www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C054FAEAD283-busvan and sign up to chaperone or drive a van to or from camp.  Camp is a great experience for your kids and FUMCC is thrilled to be able to get them to and from Camp Chestnut Ridge July 23-27 &/OR August 6—10th, 2012. For this to happen safely, we require a driver and chaperone on each bus or van going to camp. The bus driver is specially qualified by the church, but van drivers can be any FUMCC church member with a valid driver's license (of which we have a copy ahead of time). If last year is any indicator, we could have a large number of children signed up for camp this year and could need 3 vans, in addition to the bus, going to Efland each day.
 

 

- Price for Church Day Camp this year is $198 per camper per week. It is a little higher than last year, but still a substantial discount off the normal day camp price which is $250 this year.
- Unfortunately, there is no discount for the residential camp.

- Day camp is from 9a - 5p (church transportation leaves at 8a and returns about 6p each day)

- Mudpuppies (the youngest campers) do not have majors, all others do and should register early for the best selection of majors.

- If you are interested in a scholarship for Day Camp (sorry, scholarships are not available for residential campers), please email Stacy Harrell at sharrell@fumc-cary.org for an application and details.

- You do not need to be a church member to sign up for FUMCC day or residential camp.

 

Warning: Excitement...Adventure...New Friendships...Challenges...Worship...and FUN are definite side effects!  Don't miss it!

 

See you at camp!
