ARVBA Church Camp
June 12th - 16th
For years church leaders have heard that nearly nine out of ten Christians accept
Jesus as their Savior brfore the age of 18. If that statistic was accurate in the past, it
no longer depicts actual U.S. society.
The
current
Barna
study
indicates
that
nearly
half
of
all
Americans
who
accept
Christ
Jesus
as
Savior
and
Lord
do
so
before
the
age
of
13
(43%).
Another
21%
accept
Christ
between
the
ages
of
14-18.
Only 1 out of 8 born again people (13%) made their profession of faith while 18 to 21 years old.
When we see numbers like these, we are reminded of the importance of our annual Associational Church Camp. Each
year students in grades 3 through 12 have the oportunity to hear about Jesus, learn about His love for all people, and the
possibility of meeting Him on His own terms.
Even though we host a diverse range of ages, our Camp is amazingly age-graded.The Children (grades 1-4),
Middle-Schoolers
(grades
5-7)
and
Youth
(grades
8-12)
each
have
separate
Worship
and
Bible
study
facilities.
Lunch
and
dinner
are
staggered
with
the
children
arriving
at
the
cafeteria
first.
Swimming,
waterslide,
and
Paddle
Boat
times
are
divided
by
age
while
swimming
and
waterslide
times
are
divided
by
gender
as
well.
It
can
actually
be
said
that,
for
all intents and purposes, we host three seperate camps in one awesome week!
At $150.00 (includes the price of t-shirt) the cost to send your child to Camp is among the lowest anywhere. The
reason we are able to provide so much for so little is that each year a multitude of passionate volunteers accompany the
kids to Camp and expertly fill every position. From teachers to lifeguards, Worship Leaders to Preachers, no camper is
without the adult supervision and compassion each one deserves.

For
years
church
leaders
have
heard
the
claim
that
nearly
nine
out

Christians
accept
Jesus
as
their

before
the
age
of
18.

When
we

this,
we

the

of
our
annual
Associational
Church
Camp.
Each

students
in
grades
theough
12
have
the

His
