Special COVID-19 Update:
Hello MCSC campers, parents and friends!
The camp board meet last night (May 15th) to make a final decision on how to proceed with camp this summer. After consulting with the Michigan state office of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, the American Camp Association and the YMCA, we have decided to cancel our in-person camp this July at YMCA Camp Ohiyesa. As we all know, COVID-19 has proven to be a tricky disease. Our churches, communities, schools, and workplaces are all adapting to keep everyone safe. The MCSC Board has determined that the adaptations needed to keep everyone safe challenges the feel of what camp is suppose to be about. We all want to be able to play GaGa ball, and braid hair, and put our arms around each other at the campfire. And this summer, well… that just isn’t possible.
SO! We are shifting how we do camp!!! We don’t want to leave our beloved campers high and dry! This July, campers will receive a “Camp in a Box” in the mail :) This will hold a few parts and pieces of the summer camp experience and it will include an invitation to a Virtual MCSC Hangout on Zoom!
To sign up to receive a “Camp in a Box”, please email rev.SarahTerlouw@gmail.com
It is the MCSC Board’s hope is that later this summer, or perhaps into the fall, we may be able to gather as a camp community for a one day family carnival. That way all of our campers will have a chance to connect, our families can have some fun together, and we can finally put our arms around each other and sing our favorite worship songs! Details will come… eventually. The MCSC Board is continuing to uphold Michigan state guidelines. When it is safe to gather as a big group again we will announce a date for the carnival.
Thank you all for your many years of camp memories! We will be back to swimming, playing games, small group goodness and worship in 2021. But for now we can be creative in how we praise our loving God and care for our fiends, families and neighbors!
God bless you!!!
