No, our summer camp theme isn’t about bug-eyed intruders from outer space. But close! This year we’ll be challenging our campers to be in the world, but “not of the world.” (John 17:16) Focusing on the story of Abraham, who was “an alien in the land of promise,” (Hebrews 11:9), we’ll be reminding the students that we too are called to live as “strangers and exiles on the earth.” (Hebrews 11:13) As Christians, we have an identity, a future and a mission that set us apart from the world and its lusts. Our Lord calls us to be so different, so counter-cultural, that while we may not have tentacles and ray-guns, we almost might as well. So, that’s what this year’s theme is all about. Now let the invasion begin!

The form includes current health information and must be filled out within 24 hours of registration; bring it with you and present it to the registrar when you check-in your camper(s) or fill one out at check-in.

The Brian Clifford Memorial Scholarship
|
Brian Clifford was a good friend who loved God deeply and always wanted to attend summer camp. When the Lord called Brian home at the age of eleven, he had never had the chance to come to camp because of his health conditions. Cowboy’s Rest is blessed to offer a scholarship in Brian’s memory so that other children who want to attend camp can experience the joy of doing so.
How do I receive a scholarship? 1. Scholarships may be used to cover up to 50% of your camper tuition. 2. Click the button to download and print a scholarship application. 3. The application must be completed by a pastor, Sunday school teacher, or other unrelated individual who is familiar with the camper. The requested written statement must be attached. 4. The application must be received at least 2 weeks prior to the start of your camp. 5. Members of the Cowboy's Rest Board will review the applications, award scholarships, and notify applicants of their decisions. |

What is there to do?
What will I learn?
|
We hope you will learn about yourself and your strengths and abilities. We hope you will learn about teamwork and friendship.
Most of all, we hope you will learn about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, through His Word. You will have the opportunity to spend time with Him in group and private settings all week long. We pray you will hear His voice speaking from the Bible, learn of His love through the songs we sing, and see His life mirrored in the people around you. We hope this week will change your life and draw you closer to the One who loves you most! |

Pants: leggings/yoga pants must be worn under shorts
Shorts: must be as long as your fingertips
Shirts: must have straps at least 2 inches wide, no visible bellies
Swimsuits: must be modest, one-piece (or worn under a dark colored shirt)
