Junior Camp is a week of camp that creates wonderful memories, life-long friends, and often very hoarse juniors. Unique competitive activities, great counselors, a constructive schedule, and sound preaching challenge junior campers to grow in almost every facet of life. Kids learn to develop sportsmanship, work with others, and grow spiritually through God and I Time and Bible memorization. Forrest Chapman will be the preacher for Junior Camp I. Mr. Chapman is an incredible magician that uses his talents to teach juniors important Biblical truths. This week is a great time for juniors to enjoy a week of camp filled with various activities that truly provide “fun with a purpose.”

Changing Gears
It's hard to believe it's October (almost November!) already - what a busy time of year this is at camp! Summer was packed, schools camps flew by, and October has been filled by retreats and recruiting.
The first week of the month was split between a two-day school retreat and a men's retreat. Then we split forces and sent some to recruit summer staff at Ambassador Baptist College and Bob Jones University, while the rest ran a small church staff retreat for a week. That weekend, we had a private couples' retreat. The next week was divided between our annual Young-at-Heart retreat and the fall men's retreat. Currently, we're preparing for our Homeschool & Parenting Conference this weekend.
The retreats have been going well! The Young-at-Heart retreat was a great time of activity, fellowship, rest and preaching for all who came. On Wednesday, they took a special trip to ride the historic East Troy Electric Railroad! The services with D. O. Van Dyne were a special time of fellowship around the Word of God. The Men's Retreat was well attended - nearly 120 men in attendance. Dr. Layton Talbert (BJU Seminary faculty) was the speaker for the weekend and as he preached from the book of Job, the men really grew in their understanding of Job's struggle and, more importantly, Job's God!
Please pray for this weekend's retreat - that we would minister to the families who will come, serving parents and children. Dr. S. M. Davis will be speaking this weekend, and there will be special workshops offered by our staff and by pastors and laymen from nearby supporting churches.
Also, please pray for recruiting. So far, we've been to Maranatha Baptist Bible College, Ambassador Baptist College, Bob Jones University, and Baptist College of Ministry. Northland Baptist Bible College and West Coast Baptist College are on the schedule soon. Pray for contacts that we have already made - we passed out quite a number of applications - and for those that we are about to make. It is our desire and goal to have our summer staff hired by January - we'll need the spring months to focus on program and activities for the summer camps and working on recruiting that can easily distract us from the planning work that needs to be done well.
