FRISCO, Texas--Applications for the Summer Educational Program are now available.
Two sessions will be offered next summer. The first session will be for those ages 12 through 15 and will include the traditional SEP format. Campers will arrive Sunday, June 25, and depart Monday, July 10.
Session two will have a whole new emphasis. The program will be titled Higher Ground and will focus on discipleship.
Participants will arrive Wednesday, July 12, and depart Friday, July 28. The age range for this more spiritually and physically challenging session will be 16 through 20 years of age.
Each day of the 15-day session participants will attend a chapel. The emphasis will be on being transformed by Jesus Christ. Breakout sessions will be offered to help the young adults understand their spiritual gifts and how they can return to their congregations ready to engage in ministry.
More emphasis on games (rather than instruction) will occur when participants are not in chapel or breakout sessions. More physically challenging three-day canoe trips into the boundary waters will highlight this program.
Tuition for first-time participants for both programs will be $625, with discounts available for those who have been to SEP before, who have recruited other participants who attend and pay full tuition, or for those who have brothers or sisters attending this summer.
College and adult applications for employment at SEP are also available. Those accepted will be paid $5.15 an hour and will be expected to work six weeks. High school volunteer applications are available as well.
Those who have yet to be one full year removed from high school should request a high school volunteer form.
Applications can be obtained by contacting the SEP Office at Box 2211, Frisco, Texas, 75034. Or you may call 1-972-712-5737. Campers (only) can apply on-line at the SEP website at www.sepcamp.com.
We hope to have 500 participants and 150 staff members whose lives will be profoundly influenced by the SEP experience.
