Camp IO-DIS-E-CA













Slushball!

With temperatures approaching 60 degrees, the planned Broomball game for the IDE Jr High Youth Retreat turned into Slushball. Pastor Stephen Henderson, Risen Christ, Davenport led the participants in a lively study about the nature and work of Jesus Christ. Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca Program Director, Daniel Sanchez served as pizza chef and host for the event. A fantastic time was had by all as friendships were renewed and new friendships created. Retreat participants are already looking forward to next year's event and wishing there were more events like these each year.

"Forgiven."

Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca is accepting registrations now for their summer programs under the theme "Forgiven." Horse Camp, Wilderness Camp, Sports Camp, Adventure Camp, the Canoe Trip and Bike Trip are some of the specialty camps offered in addition to the regular age-based camps: Explorer, Discovery, Pathfinder, and Trailblazer. Registrations received prior to April 20 qualify for a $10 "Early Bird" registration discount. Campers have an opportunity to climb the 37' climbing tower, canoe, hike, swim, frolic on the 70 foot long slip and slide, play a life-sized game of Foosball, learn to shoot a bow and arrow or air rifle, ride a horse, and much more. New this summer is an exciting crafts program under the guidance of a dedicated Craft Director. Bible studies will be led by a summer vicar and focus upon the forgiveness we receive in Jesus Christ. Campers will hear the comforting news that forgiveness does not depend on our works or attitudes, but solely upon Jesus Christ and his works, his 
attitudes, his life, death, and resurrection for us and delivered through His chosen means. Campers may chose their cabin mates, too.
