This is the time to plan on attending a SUMMER CHURCH CAMP.  The West Michigan Conference of the United Methodist Church has several wonderful camps for elementary children, youth and adults.  There are camp brochures in the Okemos Community church office that give a full description of the camps. DVD’s of some of the camps are available.  If there is a financial limitation facing anyone, please contact Paul Hartman at the Okemos Community Church at 517-349-4220 to see if some support can be arranged.  These camps fill quickly!  So, think about summer, and plan your camping experience now.
