This year, a primary goal of Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca’s Development Committee is to engage a much higher percentage of IDE congregations in the life of their Camp.
We will employ a number of strategies to help achieve this goal, including the creation of a network of “Congregational Camp Advocates” (CCAs).
You’ll be hearing and reading more about this program in the near future, including a feature article in the March issue of the Camp’s quarterly newsletter, The Messenger. In the mean time, would you prayerfully consider volunteering to be a part of this important program?
As you can see from a list of potential activities, a CCA would serve primarily as a liaison who communicates important information about the Camp to their respective congregations. A CCA might:
– Disseminate camp materials to the congregation (newsletters, posters, brochures, etc.)
– Encourage young people to attend summer camp and other year-round programs
– Identify potential volunteers and donors for various Camp projects or needs
– Encourage your congregation’s auxiliaries (LWML, LLL, men’s clubs, Thrivent members, etc.) to be involved in Camp activities and to sponsor camp projects.
