FRISCO, Texas--As announced in the December WN, for the first time in history, the Summer Educational Program in Orr, Minnesota, will offer a one-week program for adults, with target ages being 20 through 40.
Called Higher Ground II, this program will emphasize discipleship and growing in our relationship with Jesus. In addition, seminar sessions will focus on fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith, how to share your faith and ways to build your congregation.
This will occur in the middle of recreational activities that have been the staple for SEP for decades. Softball, basketball, volleyball, archery, riflery, sailing and the challenge course will be on the agenda.
Higher Ground II will run concurrently with the Higher Ground I program, which targets ages 15 through 20. This will enable both groups to come together for chapels, fellowship, dances, meals and other campwide sessions.
An optional three-day canoe trip will be offered during the week after the session ends. This program will be staffed by SEP's seasoned canoe staff, and will take participants into wilderness areas in the boundary waters separating Minnesota and Canada. The three-day trip will cost an additional $150 per person.
Those coming to Higher Ground II need to plan to arrive in Orr by midnight Friday, July 20, or at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport by 7 p.m. the same evening. The kickoff orientation session will take place Saturday morning, July 21.
The cost for this eight-day program will be $350 per single and $575 for married couples. Couples will be staying in separate lodging, as women will be housed in the traditional camper housing on girls point, and men will be on boys point.
Applications can be obtained by writing to the SEP Office at P.O. Box 2211, Frisco, Texas, 75034. Or you can apply online at www.sepcamp.com For more information, contact camp director Jeb Egbert at jeb_egbert@wcg.org
