Apply now for SEP

By Jeb Egbert

FRISCO, Texas—Now is the time to apply for the Summer Educational Program (SEP). Six camps in the United States are offered (see box).

These camps will run about one week and cost less than half of what the national camp in Orr, Minnesota, cost. But one thing that will be retained from the national camp is the explicit emphasis on Jesus.

An additional benefit of these regional camps will be that you can meet many new friends. While most of those attending a particular camp will be from that geographic region, the national office is already receiving applications from those who wish to travel across the country to attend a regional SEP in a location far from home.

And adults, we need staff as well. What a tremendous impact you can have on younger spiritual brothers and sisters by taking a week out and applying to serve at SEP.

Whether you are interested in applying for a staff or camper position, you may apply in one of two ways. The easiest way is to apply through the WCG’s Youth Ministry website. You can access that site by going to www.sepcamp.com or by going to www.wcg.org and clicking on the Youth Ministry button. Online applications are routed to the national SEP Office. You should hear within 30 days of sending your application if you have been accepted.

The second way to apply is to call or write the national office at SEP Office, P.O. Box 2211, Frisco, Texas, 75034, phone 1-972-712-5737. An application will be mailed to you.

For more than 30 years, young people have said that SEP has made a difference in their lives. The summer of 2002 will not be an exception. Get your application in today!
