Camper Mail

Instead of doing prayer partners, encouragement books, and secret gifts this

year, we will be focusing on learning to use our technology wisely to encourage

and uplift our friends and family. You may bring your electronic devices to

camp this year, but please know that you will be challenged to use it

appropriately in both time and function. Any camper caught misusing this

opportunity may risk the loss of the device for a period of time deemed

appropriate by the lodge leadership. We look forward to this new experience!

Texts, Tweets, &facebook - new this year

Epworth Forest is different from Camp Lakewood or Camp Adventure in that we all live and

work together as a family unit. We will be eating our meals family style and sharing in daily

devotionals. We will be sharing the responsibilities with regards to cooking, cleaning, and

prayer before meals. Please plan to come with an attitude of love and respect for you fellow

brothers and sisters in Christ and prepare to help whenever needed throughout the week.

This will help ensure a positive and uplifting atmosphere and camp experience for all.
