RESIDENT CAMPS
Alumni Camp Graduated Seniors through College The Hallowed Halls of Camp Ebenezer are calling for its alumni daughters and sons to come back home! For years Savannah Presbytery has offered a summer camp experience for the youth in the Presbytery, and now, we want to invite our college-aged campers back for a one-night reunion! The experience will begin at supper on Friday, June 26 and end after lunch on Saturday, June 27. Our best publicity will be our alumni spreading the word far and wide to all of those who have slept amongst the Spanish Moss and killed a mosquito or two. This one night event will be for college-aged alumni. Watch for more details! Put out the word! Let’s have a grand reunion! If you would like to participate in planning the event, please contact Proctor Chambless at FPC Waycross (478/595-2540)
Junior Leadership Development Resident Camp Rising 11th grader through Graduated Seniors Space in this camp is extremely limited and we may not be able to accommodate all applicants. JLD Resident Camp will include opportunities for young people to learn and exercise leadership skills during Elementary, Primary and Family Resident Camps at New Ebenezer. Under adult supervision, JLD Campers will work with and at times lead younger campers during crafts, recreation, swim time, worship, Bible study, etc. JLD campers will also work together as a group to learn how to teach recreation and Bible study, lead and plan worship, and group building.
