This summer we would also love to send as many students as possible to Hidden Acres, a fantastic Christian Camp in Dayton, Iowa. There are camps for many different age groups. The church is providing a $175 scholarship for any student who wants to attend. Contact the church office by May 15th to let them know if you want a scholarship. Please check out HACamps.org for more information and to register your children.
