Theme: “Wordly”

The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the LORD are firm, and all of them are righteous. -- Psalm 19:7-9
HS Speaker: Eric Yata of San Lorenzo Japanese Christian Church
Jr High Speaker: James Chang of Gardena Valley Baptist Church

Bus Information:

Please take the bus if you can!

If you live in Southern California, please consider taking the bus. We make the bus available so students who might not have transportation can still attend. The bus company charges us a fixed rate regardless of how many passengers ride the bus. If the bus goes up only half full (which has happened in the past), we incur a significant financial loss. Please help us out by taking the bus if you can.

Round-Trip bus ride is $50.
One-Way bus ride is $33.

You can register for camp now and then register for the bus later.

Dinner is not provided for Friday night. Please bring money to purchase dinner on the way to camp.
