Register for Disciples Crossing summer camps this Sunday
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Bell at Disciples CrossingYouth and children from Pre-K through 12th grade have the opportunity to grow closer to God and one another this summer at Disciples Crossing, our church camp in Athens. There are nine different camps spread across the summer, each with a different focus.  Use the links below to access:

Remember that UCC is covering $100 of the registration cost for those who register early for 6th-12th grade camps (already reflected in the documents above), and additional full or half scholarships are available to cover the early-bird price if needed.

The easiest way to register for camps and mission trips will be our Camp Registration Day - this Sunday, April 7. Sharyn Peterson will be set up in Fellowship Hall from 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and again from 6-7 p.m. with plenty of blank registration forms and tally sheets. Registering that day ensures that you make the early bird deadline, up to $130 off the regular registration price (in addition to the $100 UCC covers). You can also take this opportunity to sign up for youth mission trips and to volunteer at Vacation Bible School (June 25-28). Mark your calendar and we'll see you Sunday!
