Summer Camp Confirmation Letter
Dear Parent or Guardian,
Thank you for registering your child for Alpine’s summer program. We are excited about the upcoming week and
looking forward to giving your child an experience that they won’t soon forget.
It’s our mission to “provide a mountain top encounter with Jesus Christ through Christian camping”. We strive to
make sure that every camper that comes up to Alpine will enjoy the time that they spend here, and will also leave
camp with a re-energized and restored faith in our Lord.
The over-arching goals of Alpine’s programs and services are that each camper will:




Experience a safe, secure community which enables them to trust and be trusted; resulting in a clear sense of
“I belong”.
Know and experience God through Jesus, His Word and His Holy Spirit.
Create and deepen peer and mentor relationships within the Body of Christ.
Develop skills, confidence and personal responsibility through guided participation in general, specialized
and experiential activities.
Grow in understanding and appreciation of the Creator, His creation and themselves as created in His image
and gifted for the purpose of fulfilling the good works He assigns.

Summer Theme: “Adrift...Where Are You Heading”
Sometimes life can feel like an endless ocean and you’re sitting on a boat… somewhere, in the middle of
nowhere.
On this ocean, you rock back and forth between clarity and doubt, highs and lows, and often more
questions than answers. Yet, we are all heading toward…somewhere. We choose our heading based on how we
view the world. Like a compass, our worldview is the lens through which we attempt to navigate life’s choices.
Some people are ADRIFT. They are like a boat tossed back and forth by waves and currents that
determine its direction. They don’t think they are actively making decisions on their “heading.” In reality, they
are deciding to allow influences around them to choose their course. Is this you? Where are you heading?
Every day our heading is influenced by the worldview we believe is most true. This summer, we will be
sailing through worldviews that can push us off course. Join us to learn how to stop drifting and calibrate your
compass toward True North – the risen Jesus Christ.
We anticipate a life-changing week for your child! If you have any questions, please call us at
1-800-350-6287 or email us at [email protected].
Sincerely in Christ,
The Staff of Alpine Camp and Conference Center
