117 Weeks of Camp
Posted Jun 15, 2010 - 3:59 pm by Clint Porritt
Camps, camps and more camps! From it's very beginnings, Mount Carmel has partnered with Christian camping ministries and this year it's no different! It's amazing to see how many of this years graduating class and staff will spend time working at camps this summer. Check out where students and staff are serving this summer below!

117 WEEKS OF CAMP
As we get to know our incoming students each fall, we hear stories of how many have experienced God’s love through a Christian camp ministry. Alternately, as we celebrate God’s faithfulness together at graduation each spring, we are always excited to see many of our students choose camp ministry as an avenue to grow in their love for God and for others. This summer Mount Carmel has committed to supporting a total twelve alumni to serve on summer camp teams. We are so thankful to God that we can partner together for his Kingdom!
We need your help. Mount Carmel has committed to supporting a total of 12 people to serve on summer camp teams. Seven will serve for eight weeks, five for five weeks. Mount Carmel’s costs to run these camp teams will be about $14,000.
We are looking for people to sponsor this endeavour. Would you consider helping us with the cost of the summer camp team?
We particularly want to challenge our alumni from the past decade to consider meeting this need. Many of you are still in school, but as you work summer jobs, consider giving to help us promote Mount Carmel and to help camps that have been influential for many of us.
If you are willing to help, you can donate in two primary ways.
