TO: Pastors
FROM: Rev. Brent Kuhlman
REGARDING: HIGHER THINGS Catechetical Camp at Camp Comeca May 29-31, 2007 (south of Cozad, NE; www.campcomeca.com)
COST: $80.00 per person (two overnights and 6 meals) plus $20.00 per group for HIGHER THINGS MATERIALS that will be provided for the campers.
Each year Trinity Lutheran Church (Murdock, NE) and other area congregations go to Camp Comeca for a catechetical camp. The camp is for 5th-8th graders. This year the catechetical camp will also be done in cooperation with HIGHER THINGS.
This year we will focus on this theme: Aslan’s World: Biblical Images and Themes in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This will include watching the DVD.
Please plan to arrive at Camp Comeca on 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, May 29 and depart after lunch on Thursday, May 31, 2007.
Camp Comeca has excellent facilities including an indoor pool and gym. It sits next to Midway Lake for canoeing. There are tennis and volleyball courts as well.
Please encourage this among your junior youth.
If you plan to attend, contact Pr. Brent Kuhlman shortly after Easter regarding how many will be in your group. Plan on having adults (male and female) accompany the students. I would suggest that you obtain a deposit from the youth in advance. Final payment can be made when your group
arrives at Camp Comeca.
If you have any other questions, please call (402) 867-2916 or email bb55841@alltel.net.
Peace be with you.
Pastor Brent W. Kuhlman
