Bahamas cruise

Paradise Island

MIDDLEBURG, Florida—If you want to learn more about Jesus Christ and strengthen your relationship with him in an environment of sun, sea and Caribbean culture, this camp is for you.

Camp begins Tuesday, Aug. 2, at our land-based camp in Cler-mont, Florida, just outside of Orlando. You can check out the facility online at www.pinelakeretreat.com.

WCG church in Bahamas.

During the first three days, some of the things you can enjoy are basketball, volleyball, mini-golf, swimming, canoeing, low ropes challenge course, great food, friendships and fellowship and daily inspirational praise and worship services and Christian living classes.

Accommodations
on ship

Then on Thursday afternoon, we get on the bus and head to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale to board the ship Regal Empress for a two and a half day cruise to Nassau, Bahamas, and back. The ship is operated by Imperial Majesty cruise lines, and you can learn more about them from their web site at www.imperialmajesty.com.

You do not necessarily need a passport, but you will need a certified copy of your U.S. birth certificate, and a photo I.D. if 16 or older.

While on the cruise, you’ll be treated to some great meals, a live band and dance, swimming, and touring the ship with your fellow campers and dorm counselors. Most of the sailing takes place overnight.

As we arrive in Nassau Friday morning, our sister congregation there will take us to their church building for a praise and worship service and lunch.

After lunch we plan to spend a few hours with their youth group on the beaches of Paradise Island. We’ll return to the ship that evening and sail back to Florida, where we’ll arrive Saturday morning.

Once back on the mainland, we’ll return to the land-based camp for the rest of the weekend and more uplifting SEP activities.

The cost for the camp and cruise is $400 per person. You will have to arrange for and cover the cost of travel from your home to our land-based camp near Orlando and your trip home. We can help with pick-up and drop-off at the Orlando airport, upon request.

Since this type of experience necessitates careful supervision, we will probably have to limit our number of campers to around 60 or 70, so you’ll need to apply soon if you want to be included.

Applications and details are available at our camp web site at www.sepflorida.com. Staff information and applications are also available there.
