We are looking for “den parents” who want to have an amazing camp experience with their child and a group of their friends. Our week of camp is July 11-15. Here’s what you get:
- free week of camp for you and your child
- choose who the campers in your group
- free bus transportation for you and the group
What we are asking of you is to:
- commit to being a camp counselor for the entire 5 days
- invite 5 other kids (churched and unchurched) to be part of your group of six that you will lead that week
Tilikum has staff people who run all the activities; leading simply involves assisting the Tilikum staff in the various activities throughout the day. Cost for camp for the other children is $185/child.
If you want to be a “den parent” or have any questions, contact Pastor Gary at gary.strudler@rollinghills.org
