Announcement of the 47th Annual National Deaf Christian Workshop
Dear Brethren,
This is a very
important message regarding the 47th Annual National Deaf Christian
Workshop that will be held at Quartz Mountain Christian Camp in Lone
Wolf, Oklahoma on July 6-11, 2008. Please read this information
carefully.
- Only a
little more than 270 people are limited at the camp. (Staff and
Student campers included). Student campers are the number one
priority.
- Only 80
men and 80 women will be accepted. (This does not include Staff,
Guest Speakers and Student campers).
- One room
is reserved for girl campers and their counselors. Another room
is reserved for boy campers and their counselors. (No adult
campers can go in except for counselors and directors).
- We hosted
the 40th National Deaf Workshop. We had 130+ people attended.
This is the second time we host the workshop at the campsite.
- We will
only take 9 years old (on or before July 6, 2008) or older can
be admitted. No kids under 9 are allowed.
- There are
bunk beds in cabins. Adults may sleep either top or bottom. Keep
in mind that elderly or physically handicap cannot sleep on top
so be sure to sacrifice the bottom bed for them.
- No food or
drinks are allowed in cabins (That includes all staff members,
too). Water is permitted.
- Weather in
Oklahoma is extremely HOT! The average temperature is between 95
and 100 degrees but only about 25% humidity. It won’t feel too
hot.
- If the
camp is full, you may stay at motels, or lodging outside of
camp, but you are also responsible for your own meals. The camp
is unable to provide food for outsiders due to the limited
capacity of people. You may attend activities or worship
services.
- There is
plenty of space for parking your vehicle. - The full three
regular meals to be served at camp, no special or diet food.
We are willing
to keep the workshop going every year. No church would host 2008
workshop so we offered to have the workshop at the camp. We regret
any inconvenience but it is better than not having any workshop in
2008. The rules are necessary. It is vital that everyone including
staff follow the camp rules. If the rules are broken frequently,
this camper will be kicked out of the camp on his/her own expenses.
Please share this information to the Deaf members of your
congregation.
Please share
this to anyone interested in going to the camp/workshop by end of
this month. Please do let us know that you have already shared this
information to the brethren. Please reply to Chris Nipper, (chrisnipper@deafchristiancamp.org) and Hal Suddreth, (halsuddreth@deafchristiancamp.org). We do have the
camp website. You need to print the registration form from the camp
website and fill it out. Please mail the forms and check by June 7,
2008.
Note: Once you
get the registration form, you must pay in full with money order or
check by June 7, 2008. Paid registrations arrived on or before June
7, 2008, will be accepted on first come, first served basis. You
will be informed if you are accepted into the camp or the camp is
already full.
See you There This Summer!
