Who Middle Schoolers; Incoming 6th graders to incoming 9th gradersWhen July 22-25, 2012Where Forest Glen Camp, Huntsville, TXSpeaker - Libin Abraham 
"As you see, my name is Libin. I was born in Kerala, India on August 14, 1987. Moved to the US of A in 1996. I was pursuing a career in Pharmacy until God got a hold of my life. I knew that God had called me to preach and teach the Word but I was driven by my own aspirations and objectives in life that I had placed His calling for my life on the back burner. But...God got a hold of my life and I dropped whatever I was doing and begun pursuing professional ministry. My major role in Stone House is to preach the Word and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.”

“I grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago, heard the gospel for the first time when I was 17 years old, and attended a worship service for the first time that same year. After graduating from high school I was converted by the grace of God and things have never been the same. I am a graduate of Moody Bible Inst. in Chicago (where I met my wife!) and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, and the Lead Pastor of Redeemer Fellowship in St. Charles, IL. In 2011 my first book Note to Self: The Discipline of Preaching to Yourself was released through Crossway/ReLit.”

Who's running this thing? Every summer, the youth ministers from several Chinese churches in the Houston area get together to host two summer camps for anyone who is interested in coming. D-camp is our middle school camp and Camp Impact is our high school camp. From these youth pastors, one or more serve as the Camp Director for that year's camp. This year's camp director is David Carter, but the ministers all work together to make camp happen. We then go out and invite as many other local churches as we can to come and participate with us. Counselors are requested from all attending churches and are run through an application process, background check, and training.Where are we going? We will be staying at the North Shore site of Forest Glen Camps located in Sam Houston State Park just outside of Huntsville, TX. Their physical address is 34 Forest Glen Huntsville, TX 77340 and their phone number is 936.295.8479. You can find more information about the site at forestglen.org.What is the campsite like? Campers will be staying in large, one-room cabins filled with bunk beds. There are 10-20 people per cabin with 2-4 counselors per cabin. Each cabin has bathrooms fitted with showers. The cabins are air conditioned and water coolers are placed all over camp in order to help with keeping everyone hydrated. There is a large meeting hall for our large-group sessions, a full dining hall (both air-conditioned as well), and plenty of open outdoor space for camp activities. There are tons of options for free-time activities including swimming, canoeing, the blob, archery, ziplines, and more.What happens if there’s an emergency? How do I contact my parent/child? For emergencies, parents please contact the camp at (936) 295-7641 and the camp will inform the counselor and the student. If a student has an emergency, please find and tell your counselor immediately. What do I do if I have allergies/medical conditions? Please indicate this on your registration forms then let your counselor and camp nurse know in advance.I’m a non-Christian, can I go to camp? Of course you can! You'll have a chance to make some new friends and hear about a guy who is really important to your Christian friends. You can ask questions or just have a good time with people who care about you.I have my license, can I drive to camp? No, for your safety, all students must ride the bus to and from camp. This is for your own safety, plus, you get to meet people!May I come and visit my teen at camp? If you have a desire to come and visit your teen at camp, please contact David Carter at davidc@hcchome.org so we can discuss the possibility.Can I come visit my friends at camp? Why not just come to camp instead? If you're not eligible to come to camp, then no, you may not come up to visit.Can I choose my roommates/small group/counselor? Sorry, unfortunately no. We will make exceptions in special circumstances (you're bringing a friend who doesn't know anyone else/you are the friend who doesn't know anyone else, etc).What do I need to bring? The camp does not provide anything for you. You must bring your own towels and toiletries (shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, floss, soap, etc.). You need to bring your own bedding for a twin sized mattress (sheets, blankets, pillows...or just bring a sleeping bag and pillow). Check the weather before you come and bring clothing appropriate for being outdoors in those temperatures. You'll want shoes for activities (sneakers, tennis shoes) and perhaps sandals. Bring a flashlight, bug spray, sunscreen, a water bottle, a Bible if you have one, and some writing implements.What should I not bring? Please do not bring things that are dangerous to yourself, others, or the camp property - fireworks, firearms, illegal substances like tobacco or alcohol. The camp requires a certain dress code, so you will want to avoid bringing swimsuits or clothing that breaks the dress code. We also ask that you leave those things that can distract from camp at home. If in doubt about whether or not you should bring something, ask your youth workers or email David Carter at davidc@hcchome.org.Can I bring my cell phone/mp3 player/ipod/electronic gadget? It is our hope that camp will be a chance for you to make new friends, get away from your usual distractions and habits, and perhaps get a chance to interact with God. Sometimes our gadgets can get in the way of this so our policy is to say - yes, you can bring it for the ride up and the ride back, however, once at camp we ask that it stays turned off and out of sight. Counselors will take up devices that prove to be distracting to you or others.What’s the dress code? Forest Glen's policy is that girls may wear two-piece swimsuits only if covered by a non-see through t-shirt. They also require campers and counselors dress modestly. This can mean many things, so here are some guidelines - shirts should have sleeves, shorts should reach the tip of your fingers. If in doubt, go with t-shirts and basketball shorts If you have to ask, it's probably not a good idea to bring it. More questions? Contact David Carter at davidc@hcchome.orgCan I come late/leave early? We prefer you to be at camp the entire time. However, if there is a unique circumstance, let the director know and they will make accommodations.That’s a lot of money... And that's not a question. But we understand that things might be tight right now. Scholarships are available for those who require financial assistance or for pastor’s kids.
