Dear Parents,

As a child I had the unique opportunity to attend Camp Sandy Cove (formerly Camp Sandy Hill) every summer. This experience was crucial to my development. Not only did I learn skills like archery, outdoor living and crafts, I also developed friendships with other campers and staff that helped me to grow.

These times were the best!

Most importantly, as a camper, I remember learning what it meant to be a Christian. This knowledge, and the example of the staff at camp, impacted me in such a way that I dedicated my life to full-time service for Christ.

Every summer I renew a commitment to find staff who will continue to impact campers as my counselors did. All staff members attend at least seven days of staff training each year to sharpen their skills and prepare spiritually for the summer. Staff members are taught to provide spiritual guidance and to show the unconditional love of Jesus Christ to campers, parents and each other. These young men and women stand out among their peers; they model a healthy Christian life, and they can't wait to meet your children!

Camp Sandy Cove is celebrating 60 years of offering "Christian Camping at its best!" This summer we will be operating six traditional weeks of camp (June 27 - August 8) followed by a week of camp for children who have a parent in the military (August 8-15). I hope that your child will be joining me for the experience of a lifetime.

See ya' at camp!
