FRISCO, Texas--Two sessions of the Summer Educational Program (SEP) are being planned for 1999.
For the first session, campers will arrive Sunday, June 27, and leave Monday, July 12. For the second session, campers will arrive Wednesday, July 14, and leave Thursday, July 29.
The two-week sessions are available to teens, ages 13 through 18.
The mission of SEP is to help young people either to be introduced to Jesus Christ or to strengthen their relationship with him. Last summer, most campers said that SEP had helped them develop their relationship with their Savior.
Hundreds of former campers have reported that they built relationships with others at SEP that will last a lifetime.
Tuition is $595, about half of what comparable programs charge.
SEP will once again be in Orr, Minnesota. Orr has been home to the program since 1965. The wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities makes it an ideal setting.
We will again use a number of recreational activities to complement the camp's mission, including archery, riflery, softball, basketball, volleyball, dance and sailing. The challenge course will help campers build teamwork and courage. And the Christian living classes will emphasize what Jesus has done and continues to do in the lives of those who commit themselves to him.
SEP needs a competent, enthusiastic, Christ-centered staff of adults, college students and high school volunteers. Most selected staff members will wish to stay for both sessions.
Adults and college students who are selected to serve will be paid $5.15 an hour for up to 48 hours.
High school volunteers have grown in significance over the years. While not expected to carry the same teaching load and responsibility of the adult and college staff, high school volunteers provide an enormous amount of assistance in making camp run smoothly.
Applications for camper, adult-college and high school volunteer positions can be obtained by writing the SEP Office at P.O. Box 2211, Frisco, Texas, 75034.
Or you can call the SEP Office at 1-972-712-KSEP (5737), or reach us by e-mail at sep.orr@wcg.org or jeb_egbert@wcg.org
Those accepted will need to make plans for transportation to and from Orr.
