Hello families,
Welcome and thank you for registering your child as a camper or to be a volunteer for PAX WEEK. If you haven't registered yet, please prayerfully consider. This will be a fun week at Pax Christi.
This is a long email, so hang on tight.
If you register early, campers or volunteers, will receive a camp music CD (one per family) and you will be guaranteed a t-shirt in your size (child xs -adult xxl).
Early registration goes through June 10th. If you have friends or other family members interested in joining, please forward this Flocknote. Below is the registration link.
Next steps for making PAX WEEK successful is YOU. Without volunteers PAX WEEK will not be possible. There are many areas open for YOU. If you cannot help the whole week, you can sign up for times you are available. You can help during the weeks prior to camp or daily after camp. Many hands make light work.
If you cannot donate your time, could you donate or loan us some items. We need a variety of items for the daily rotation areas of arts, games and props for the skits.
If you would like to donate or loan us any of the supplies listed in the link below, our budget would be most grateful. Items in red we already have. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ss7ISf1xiKLINfgQ9NbermiYSFEGOTKT6HsG7vRxWRs/edit#gid=0
Actors are needed to participate in 5 skits. Each skit is about 20 minutes and will be read from a short script. Please select one spot for now. As we get closer to the week of camp, we can add them to more parts.
Sign your child up with the link below. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v3C94FUbS6fZniiJ8r6PMTAA69HTuDiky-Jo2urX2x4/edit#gid=0
Here is the schedule for the week 8:00 A.M.-12:30 P.M. This will give you an idea of what the time commitment would be in each area if you are unable to help the whole day. Some areas will have prep time and cleanup time so allow for that time as well.
