2009 SUMMER PROGRAM
2009
SUMMER THEME: BREAKTHROUGH!
What
would it have been like to meet Jesus?
In his
journeys across Palestine Jesus met a wide range of people. In
story after story, Jesus pulled down walls of prejudice, offered
release from bondage, and provided loving attention to the forgotten
and healing to the sick. These encounters resulted in a
breakthrough... a chance to move beyond the present situation into a
life changing experience.
"Breakthrough" will explore a series of biblical stories that tell
of these transforming encounters with Jesus.

For your
convenience all necessary
applications and forms can be download on our
FORMS page.
We
believe that every child or youth should have the opportunity to go
to camp. Our fees are intentionally set low to make this possible. The
generous giving of supporters and First Presbyterian Church members
subsidizes the ever growing cost of operating a camping ministry.
However, for families who need financial assistance we have
a Campership fund. It is our intent to afford everyone the
ability to attend camp at Rockhaven. If you need assistance please call the
Church at 406.586.9194 or download and submit a Campership
application form which can also be found on our
FORMS page.
* Overnight Resident
Camps
** All Day Camps Run
from 9:30 to 5:00 pm
NOTE: Ages are determined by the grade campers have completed. All
day camps meet outside First Presbyterian Church at 9:30 am, ride
the bus to camp, and return to the church for pick-up at 3:30 pm,
unless otherwise noted.
