SPECIAL NEEDS REGISTRATION FOR 2O12 TOOK PLACE ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16. IF YOU SENT IN A REGISTRATION YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION.
SPECIAL NEEDS WEEK 2012 June 16-23, 2012 What an exciting week it is for our special needs campers and their families! Each special needs camper (ages 5 and up) receives a one-on-one volunteer mentor for approximately 6 hours a day throughout the week. Activities are planned throughout the day, such as Bible School or Youth Group in the morning, craft and game time in the afternoon, and evening activities such as square dancing, Special Olympics, hayrides, and ending with a Friday Night Talent program that brings tears to our eyes, and awesome JOY to our hearts! If you haven't experienced this awesome week as a camping family (even if you don't have a special needs child) please register and you will be BLESSED!

If you are interested, please contact the Conference Grounds at (616) 842-4478.
Special Needs Financial Support This week is truly a highlight of the year for many of the special needs campers and volunteers, a life-changing experience for many! For some, it is the only chance for a vacation they get. The week is totally funded by individual donations and WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you are able to contribute financially to this incredible week, your tax-deductible contribution would be very much appreciated. Please send your contribution to the Christian Reformed Conference Grounds and write Special Needs Week donation on the check. IF you are interested, a slide show is being prepared to give an overview of the week that you could share with your church in requesting a special collection. Also, urgently needed is your faithful prayer support! Please be in prayer with us about all of the details of the week; that each of the campers and volunteers would receive a special blessing: and that God would again use this week to bring honor and glory to Him.
