Register Now for 2008 Summer Camp!
Registrations for the 2008 summer camps have been pouring in by mail and online. In fact, summer camp programs are about half full. Now is the time to register to insure you can participate in the fun-filled week of your choice at camp this summer.
The summer theme is "Fulfilled in Christ." Campers will study an Old Testament Bible story and learn how it was fulfilled in Christ and then see how they have been "fulfilled" in Christ as they receive His perfect righteousness through faith. Campers will enjoy a variety of camp songs around a campfire, all-camp games like Eagles' Nest and Dare Base, feast on fabulous food, slide down the 70-foot long "Io-Dis-E-Ca Highway," ride horses, climb the tower, canoe, and much more. It will be another great summer at Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca! All registrations received prior to April 27 will receive a $10 "Early Bird" discount. Register today at www.campiodiseca.org or call

Indoor Sno-Olympics!
Too much snow and wind chills approaching 40 degrees below zero forced the participants of the Iowa District East Junior High Youth Retreat indoors.
The temperatures began to plummet as the participants arrived Saturday afternoon, February 9, but stiff cold winds were not enough to put a damper on a vigorous game of broomball on the basketball courts. By Sunday the temperatures and wind combined to create life threatening wind chills, but the spirits remained high as the Sno-Olympics were held indoors. Bible studies with the ever energetic Pastor Jesse Cearlock of Our Redeemer, Dubuque and a range of indoor games led by Program Director Daniel Sanchez made for a memorable weekend at Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca.
