2016 FATHER / SON CAMP
Hi, Father and Son Campers,
Welcome to the 2016 Father / Son Camp. This year marks the 55th anniversary of Sequoia Brigade Camp. We are excited about the fun and growth that you will experience with us.
You should arrive at camp between 3:00 and 3:30 Sunday afternoon, July 17th. Please do not arrive earlier than 3:00. Dismissal will be at 10:00 Wednesday morning, July 20th. Early departures Tuesday evening, after campfire, are permitted. This camp is specifically designed to build up father and son relationships, so most of your time will be spent doing activities together. There will also be some times during camp when the boys will be with our Junior Counselors (Spiritually mature High School guys) for an activity, while the dads meet together. The Junior Counselors will also be in charge of our activity areas (archery, BB guns, canoeing, handcrafts, etc). Dads, you are encouraged to not do any business while at camp!
Mailing address for the camp is (Name), Father/Son Camp, c/o Hartstone Bible Conference, 17856 Van Arsdale Road, Potter Valley CA 95469. Since you will be there only a short time, the only mail that you will probably receive will have to be sent before you come to camp! It is very important that all mail have a return address. The camp’s phone number is (707) 743-1621 for emergency calls only.
