Covid-19 Procedsures & Release Form
The Michigan Region will be using a careful layered approach to create a safe space for summer camps and retreats, meeting state and CDC protocols as we seek to provide a spiritually enriching camping experience for all participants. All participants, volunteers, adults, site staff, and campers will covenant to follow the Covid-19 procedures as described in the registration process.
Have you ever seen God at work and wondered why the moment was so clear? Have you wondered what you could do to try and connect with those moments and feelings?
Paul’s letter to the church in Galatia will come alive this week as we explore the Fruit of the Spirit. Seeing this fruit all around assures us we have encountered God. We will see how these same fruit flow freely from us when we walk in the Spirit. Scripture is honest about how complicated life can be. The fruit of the Spirit show us we are on the right track as we observe, receive, and embody these virtues.

Want to go to camp, but it doesn’t quite fit in the budget this summer? We have scholarships for that! Everyone should have the opportunity to experience Camp Crystal.
Camp scholarships are an important part of the Christian Education budgets of many congregations. They stimulate greater camp participation and make Camp Crystal affordable for those who may otherwise not be able to attend. We encourage you to talk with your church to find out if they offer scholarships and sign up today!
In addition to church scholarships, there are scholarships available from the Fuller Camp Scholarship Fund, available for ANY child or youth who needs assistance to attend Crystal.
For more information, or to request scholarship assistance, contact Michael Dirksen mdirksen@cascadechristian.com.
