FW: Hey Y'all...

Hey, y'all,

I wanted to share with you all  a fantastic camp opportunity that my children are really looking forward to this summer.  Katherine and Michael are attending Camp Cherokee which is the Cherokee Presbytery of Northwest Georgia's Summer Camp retreat facility.  (You don’t have to be Presbyterian to attend.)  It is a 5 night 6 day sleep away camp and the retreat center is located on 100 acres on the shores of Lake Alatoona. 

Katherine went last year and Michael is attending this year for the first time. He saw how much fun Kat had and can't wait to go. Its like youth group/vbs all week long!!  I wanted to tell all of y'all about it, because although they will see some of their church friends, they would love for their school friends to know about this, too.

Read the description below and check out the website.  Ask me any questions about it and I'll be happy to talk to you.  Kat and Michael are registered for Discovery the week of July 6-11.

If enough people are interested, the director, Kelly Howington can come to my house to hold an information meeting which promises to be an amazing time.  

 

Talk to you soon.

Summer Is Just Around The Corner!

It's hard to believe that it is about that time again to start planning for
the summer program at Cherokee Retreat Center, but summer planning and
preparation are well underway for this summer's program. Brochures and
registration forms are currently being disbursed among the congregations of
Cherokee Presbytery, and with them Cherokee Retreat Center is sending out a
plea for help. As is tradition, volunteers play a vital role in the life of
the camp. Both adult volunteers and Counselors In Training are needed to
help fulfill the mission of Camp Cherokee. We are especially looking for
anyone with skills in such areas as craft making, outdoor living, games
leadership, singing and silliness! If you or someone you know are willing
to serve in this unique and memorable mission opportunity, please contact
the Cherokee Presbytery office as soon as possible. Please contact Kelly
Howington, Cherokee Retreat Center/Summer Camp Director either by phone:

Summer Camp

Cherokee Retreat Center is in the midst of a wonderful transformation and I am grateful for all who are helping with that transformation. I have always had a love for Cherokee Retreat Center and camp ministry and hope the excitement continues to bring people and churches to the center to see what we are about.

Summer camp is just around the corner and we hope everyone will continue to encourage as many young people as possible to sign up for a session or two. I am excited to be a part of the Culture Camp session that will be June 4-7th and is for children who are internationally adopted. This is our 8th summer to partner with Cherokee Retreat Center for this amazing camp and we are always looking for more camp registrations. We are also in partnership with Holt International, Lutheran Services of Georgia, and Families First - all leaders in the field of international adoption.

Come join us!!
