What else can we do? Look for ways link campers to our
churches
Work with the registrar to know where campers come from
Invite them to your own youth group Invite their families to church Ask campers to lead services, camp
style Take your SS to a camp as an outing

What else can we do?
Refer campers to TC programs, SS, YF IatC and visa versa
Keep camps in our minds, hearts and budgets as important ministries
Invite First Voice on camp issues Be a Camp Champ
