Summer Camp Confirmation Letter Makuala Village Camp Dear Parent, Thank you for registering your child for Alpine’s elementary summer program, Makuala Village. We are excited about the upcoming week and looking forward to giving your child an experience that they won’t soon forget. It’s our mission to “provide a mountain top encounter with Jesus Christ through Christian camping”. We strive to make sure that every camper that comes up to Alpine will enjoy the time that they spend here, and will also leave camp with a re-energized and restored faith in our Lord. The over-arching goals of Alpine’s programs and services are that each camper will:      Experience a safe, secure community which enables them to trust and be trusted; resulting in a clear sense of “I belong”. Know and experience God through Jesus, His Word and His Holy Spirit. Create and deepen peer and mentor relationships within the Body of Christ. Develop skills, confidence and personal responsibility through guided participation in general, specialized and experiential activities. Grow in understanding and appreciation of the Creator, His creation and themselves as created in His image and gifted for the purpose of fulfilling the good works He assigns.

BIG waves of new information constantly rock you back and forth between confidence and uncertainty. Every kid needs a compass to navigate life's waters - a worldview that knows God loves them and sent Jesus to prove it. This summer, we're calibrating our compasses toward True North - the risen Jesus Christ! Kids learn about Jesus’ life, death and resurrection through fun games, cool crafts, stories told around fire circles and so much more! Year after year, kids build confidence through age appropriate challenges and make new friends by sharing in this experience together! We anticipate a life-changing week for your child! If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-350-6287 or email us at info@alpine-cc.org.
