Children’s Camp:
Be sure to download the consent form that each child needs to have filled out by their parents. This is very important that we have this on file for each child attending Camp Lela this year.
Churches will need to provide 1 sponsor for every 7 campers registered.
Cost is $75 per camper. Checks should be made payable to the church that your child is registered with.
Checks will be cashed upon receipt. If for some reason a registered camper cannot attend, the Associational Office needs to be notified at least one week BEFORE the beginning of camp for the registration fee to be refunded.
Camp is for children who will be in grades 4-7 next year (not older than 13 years old).
All blanks must be filled in for the camper to be properly registered. A parent’s signature needs to be on this form along with phone numbers to reach you at all times. Your child’s registration fee should be sent with this form. No pre-registrations can be transferred to another person.
Children’s Camp Sets New Record The first day of a three day “Day Camp” the temperature barely made it to 80 degrees. That was a record low for the high temperature on July 28.
It was a “cool” day and the rain did not put that much of a damper on the activities. There were still outdoor games, archery, fishing, crafts, gaga ball, missions, Bible study and the Snack Shak. Because of COVID-19, none of the children spent the night and we had three different groups of kids on each of the three days. Pastor Jr. Pratt of the Cushing Indian Church along with his family, were a hit! They presented a Native American Dance each evening, followed by Jr. speaking to the children.
Camp Lela continues to go strong even in the midst of a pandemic. Thanks to our pastors/camp directors, Christi Lame and her cooking crew and Camp Caretaker, Richard Brewster. Of course, there were a host of sponsors, Bible Study Leaders and others who help to make Camp Lela a memorable experience for our children.
Richard, our Camp Caretaker, has been hard at work on this off season project, and it’s nearly complete. He completely gutted and remodeled the dorm, built a new wall between the dorm and the bathrooms and sheetrocked the ceilings.
Each bathroom stall now has new partitions and each shower has a changing area. Everything got a fresh coat of paint and looks so much more bright and cheerful.
We think it is a great improvement and campers will have an enjoyable stay.
Richard is thankful to still be able to work on these projects during this time. We are thankful for your support that makes these improvements possible. Our hope for the future is to have all the bathrooms upgraded.
