Big Stuf Countdown: 4 Days!

Can you believe that we leave for Big Stuf in only 4 days!! Here is the information that we covered in the meeting and all the details for what you need to bring, and what not to bring, to camp this weekend:

Registration begins at 10:00 am this Friday, July 18th, in the Atrium at Point of Grace. Please arrive as soon after 10:00 am as possible as we have almost 100 people to check in. We will be leaving by 11:00 am. A parent or legal guardian must sign in every student going on this trip, and stay for the short Parent Meeting. At registration, Parents will be giving the Parent packet with information about details at camp, your room leader and their cell phone number to contact them in the case of an emergency. Your parent or guardian will also have to sign the Big Stuf Release Form. If they do not sign you in and fill out this form, you cannot get on the bus.

We will be stopping on the way down to Florida at the City Museum in St. Louis, MO, and the cost for that is $6. We will also be stopping at Opry Mills Mall in Nashville, TN, on the way home.

You will need spending money for this trip. We suggest between $75 and $100 for food on the way down and back (6 meals total) souvenirs while at camp, admission to the City Museum, as well as snacks and food while at camp. Also there are extra optional activities while at camp that cost money such as parasailing, Jetski rentals, Shipwreck Island Water Park and the Movie Theater, which are all options on Tuesday during Free Time. Please ask your parents for spending money as we will not be able to cover students who do not have money for food.

Please bring:
Toiletries
Pillow and blanket for the bus ride
One piece swim suit
Bible and pen
iPod, CD player, and other personal media devices (please put your name on them because they are for the bus ride only. They will be collected when we arrive at camp and returned the night before we leave for home)
Camera
Spending money (we suggest between $75 and $100)

Please DO NOT bring:
Cellular phones (if you are caught with your phone, it will be confiscated and you will not get it back until we meet with you and your parents)
Tankinis
Cigarettes, alcohol or other drugs not prescribed by a doctor
