Summer on the horizon

It's hard to believe that school is coming to an end and summer is quickly approaching. Summer means new schedule and if this summer is anything like past summers, new faces at Rock Island. Ron and I recently completed the Rock Island daily schedule but still have a few holes to fill. Here's what it looks like so far...

We still are in the works of a possible athletic team, possibly basketball or soccer, and will also have the spontaneous weekend events that we will do our best to keep you updated about.

As far as camps go, we have opted out of the more traditional Oklahoma City camp appearance for our middle school and high school youth and have decided to take our efforts to another city, Dallas (Cleburne actually). The specifics are still being hammered out but it will have more of a work-project/fun trip look rather than a sleepless week, camp feel. Also, our elementary young'ins will continue their summer camp experience at camp Shiloh, located right here in Okc. We have signed up many of our kids already and have decided upon the camp dates of July 6th-10th. It is a day camp, 9-5:30, and offers the kids lots of outdoor games, crafts, animal experiences and....ok, just check out the link it does a better job of describing the camp ( http://www.shilohcamp.org/index2.htm ).

Along with summer comes more time with kids, along with more time with kids comes more activities, functions, organized and structured outings to keep them connected, involved and plugged in. Due to the increase in activity we also see an increase in the amount of funds we must have in order to keep up with all the summer's happenings. Our two biggest fund-eaters this summer will most definitely be sending the elementary kids to camp ($20 per camper X 15 campers = $300 ) and our jr. high/high school Texas trip (amount yet to be determined).

If you are interested in helping send even one student to camp this summer or are interested in helping fund the jr. high/school road trip, please email me and/or Ron or leave your contact info on my blog. Also, with all the extra activity going on we are always in need and desire volunteers to come check things out and get involved. If you have a special interest in anything in particular on the schedule feel free to contact one of us about that too.
