introduction

               Welcome
               The most valuable gift you can give a child is the opportunity to develop independence,
               self-worth, leadership, responsibility, and most of all, life-long faith in Jesus Christ. At
               Camp Omega, children develop a stronger sense of self, others, and God; they learn
               how to navigate the world successfully; they learn resiliency; and they learn the value
               of healthy, Christ-centered relationships.

               Camp Omega Day – June 9th
               In early June, Camp Omega hosts a special “Open House” opportunity for guests of all
               ages to experience and celebrate the camp community. Activities include swimming,
               horse-drawn wagon rides, pontoon boat rides, archery, canoeing, and a FREE picnic-style
               barbeque. Stay for the day or just stop in to see what camp is all about. This is a FREE
               event for all ages! Visit www.CampOmega.org for more information.

               Leadership Training Camp
               This leadership training camp gives high school-aged students the tools to succeed
               and grow in the Christian faith, as well as provide skills to serve as Christian leaders at
               camp and in the community. Looking for more hands-on leadership experience than
               this leadership week? Apply to be a Youth Servant Leader (YSL)! YSLs assist counselors
               in providing for the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of campers. Leadership
               Training is mandatory for those applying to serve as a YSL. If you have completed your
               freshman year of high school or are at least 15 years old by June, you can become a YSL
               this summer by completing the application found at www.campomega.org/youth-
               servant-leader-program. Get ready to make a difference.
