Hard to believe the summer’s just ended and we’re already making plans for next year. Hopefully by now you’ve heard about the Sr. High Youth Summer Workcamp. The Summer Workcamp is a long-standing tradition for the youth at Good Shepherd, and is certainly a favorite event for our teens. It’s an incredible week of service, fun, and worship with youth from all over the country. During this week, teens will serve people in a deserving community through home repair, light construction and carpentry, painting, yard work, and so much more. Not only that, they will get a chance to work as a team, building friendships that will last for years to come! If you’ve been a part of a Workcamp before, you know how life-changing this event can be... and if you’ve never been, don’t miss this opportunity to see for yourself what an awesome week it truly is!
The 2011 Sr. High Youth Summer Workcamp is Sunday, July 22 - Saturday, July 28 in Oak Hill, WV. The cost of this trip is $500.00 which includes expenses for travel, meals, and our “after-camp adventure”... a Class V whitewater rafting trip on the New River. Once you have registered, Good Shepherd will contribute $100 towards the total cost of the trip and fundraisers are being planned to help offset your costs. A $50.00, non-refundable deposit is due by Sunday, September 25, (the registration deadline for this event). All youth participants MUST submit a registration slip and deposit by that date. Space is limited for this event, and registration is on a “first-come-first-serve” basis, so please register as soon as possible in order to guarantee your spot on this Workcamp. We have spots for 25 youth and 5 adult leaders... but those spots are filling up fast! To sign up for this event, simply remove the registration slip from the letter you received in the mail and return it to the Church office (1133 Reston Ave. Herndon, VA 20170). Please be sure to include your deposit. Checks can be made payable to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church (include “Workcamp” in the memo line). If you have any questions or would like more information about the Sr. High Youth Summer Workcamp, please contact Andy Muich at andy.muich@gmail.com or 703-439-2758.
