SEP California--
a mountaintop
experience

By Dennis Pelley

PASADENA—Imagine yourself challenged by a high ropes adventure course 7,000 feet above sea level. Visualize yourself and a close friend gliding your canoe over a smooth, quiet, pristine, private mountain lake in a 270-acre retreat. Picture yourself singing contemporary Christian music with 300 other enthusiastic worshipers at a beautiful new praise and worship center.

No need to imagine—you can experience all this and much more by coming to the Summer Educational Program (SEP) in California next summer!

Our mission for SEP is to "bring Jesus Christ to young people and model his way of life."

Since we filled up last year’s SEP California six weeks early and had to turn away potential campers, we have selected a larger camp for SEP 2003, which will accommodate up to 300 people. This year’s SEP will be at Cedar Lake Camp at beautiful Big Bear Lake, California. The retreat center is large enough for us to run three separate camps simultaneously during the week of July 6 to 12.

We will have a traditional SEP for those ages 12 through 20. We will also have a preteen camp for those ages 8 through 11.

This summer for the first time we will be hosts for a Disciples of Jesus retreat for marrieds and singles, ages 20 through 40. Those who attend this weeklong retreat will focus on becoming committed disciples of Jesus Christ and receive training in ministry leadership. The participants will also be able to enjoy praise and worship, the high ropes challenge course and all the other sports and recreational activities available at Cedar Lake Camp.
