Dear Parent/Guardian,

LEGACY is coming! This year Tri-County Baptist Association’s Summer Camps will

be held June 4—7 at Baptist Hill Assembly. All that week, we’ll be celebrating

Baptist Hill Assembly’s 100th anniversary and we hope your child can be a part of

this special event.

Our theme verse is Psalm 100:5, “For the Lord is good, and his faithful love

endures forever; his faithfulness, through all generations.” In this day when

there seems to be so much chaos in the world around us, it is important that

children and young people know that God’s love never fails. We pray that at camp this year your child will not

only learn about God’s love but will have an personal, real encounter with His love.

On the last night of camp (Thursday), we’ll have a

special closing celebration that we hope you can attend:

a cookout, outdoor concert and a BMX demonstration

by REAL ENCOUNTER Ministries. It will be a fun evening

and something your child won’t want to miss. The

cookout is from 5:00-6:00 p.m. and the motorcycle stunt

performance will begin around 6:00. DON’T FORGET TO BRING LAWN CHAIRS OR BLANKETS. We should be

finished no later than 7:00 p.m.

In addition to this letter, you will find enclosed a Camper Registration Form, Camper Health Information and

Medication Sheet. Please read and complete the forms very carefully for your child. Also, notice deadline

dates and camper costs.

The information sheets should be kept at home for future reference. Registration is available online at

www.tcsba.com in which your CHURCH PROMOTER WILL COMPLETE. Campers will need to turn their camp

fees into their church camp promoter before camp begins.

Camp dates: June 4-7, 2018.

Camp fees (includes lodging, meals, snacks, activities, recreation, T-shirt): $100 per camper

Camper registration deadline: May 4, 2018.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us. Our contact information is listed below.

TO: Cabin Leaders , Junior Cabin Leaders: We are so thankful that you are giving your time to serve our Lord this summer at camp! YOU may be the most important person at camp for that child or young person who God is seeking out.

1. What are the qualifications to be a Cabin Leader?

Age: 18 years or older, finished high school

Character traits: spiritually mature; Christ-like interacting with others; a team player; responsible; positive; patient; flexible

Responsibilities: Live in a cabin with the campers in your group. Be sensitive to the individual needs of each camper within your group. Know the plan of salvation and be able to share it with a child. Lead Devotions and discussions. Supervise Junior Cabin Leaders. Be responsible to send those campers to the nurse who need medication. Help campers to share what they have learned and experienced with other campers. Assist campers with belongings, lost-and-found, trash pick-up, etc. Know and participate in the daily activities. Ensure campers are safe (Properly hydrated, activity areas are free of hazards, etc.) Participate in clean up at the end of the week. Help campers follow camp rules—and be an example by doing the same!

2. What are Junior Cabin Leaders? Junior Cabin Leaders serve in Children’s Camp. They must be 14-17 years of age and completed their freshman year by June 1. They will assist Cabin Leaders with their duties and help the kids in their cabin grow closer to God.

3. Is there an orientation meeting? Yes! We ask all Cabin Leaders & Junior Cabin Leaders to attend the MANDATORY orientation meeting on Tuesday evening May 1st, at 6:30 pm at the Hopedale Baptist Church 5370 N State Hwy NN Ozark. This is the BEST place for you to know specifics—things you need to know—about camp.

4. Is there an application form to serve as Cabin Leader? ALL Camp Leaders must fill out a CAMP LEADER APPLICATION (included) and have it signed by their pastor (even if they’ve served before!) Deadline for entering these forms: May 2, 2018.

5. Do Junior Cabin Leaders attend free? Junior Cabin Leaders pay a fee of $50. This helps us keep costs to individual campers as low as possible. Some churches may offer to pay this fee to have Junior cabin leaders go with their campers; check with your church.

6. When does camp start, and when is it over? Campers should arrive at Baptist Hill on Monday June 4, between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. (but no earlier than 1:00—entrance not permitted before). Camp ends on June 7 at 7:00 pm.

7. What age of child can attend? We go by school grade. Children’s Camp is for those who have completed grades 3 —5. Junior High Camp is for those who have completed grades 6—8.

8. What should I bring? Bible, bedding, towels and washcloths, personal care items (toothbrush, etc.) clothing for 4 days and extra shoes for water events!

9. What about cell phones? We do not permit campers to bring cell phones. Cabin Leaders are welcome to have their cell phones at camp. However, we ask that Cabin Leaders keep their use of cell phones to a minimum! We don’t want you to miss opportunities to share God’s love with the kids He has placed in your care for the week. This includes refraining from using your cell phone during worship. And please DO NOT allow a camper to use your phone to make a call home or to take pictures.

10. What do I do if a camper wants to make a phone call? PLEASE be considerate of your Camp Director and make them aware if a situation is urgent enough to require a camper calling home. Urgent calls from campers will be made if permitted by the Camp Director from the Camp Director’s Office. And, in the case of illness or injury, we need our Camp Director to make the phone call.

11. What is the dress code for campers and cabin leaders? To maintain an environment that encourages campers to draw close to God, TCBA’s camps require high standards of conduct. These standards apply to both Cabin Leaders and Junior Cabin Leaders. Campers, Cabin Leaders and Junior Cabin Leaders shall dress respectably and attractively. No shirts with sides cut out, spaghetti straps, transparent clothing, or apparel that exposes the torso below the shoulders. All shorts must be mid-thigh in length. Skirts and dresses should be modest in length. Apparel displaying pictures, trademarks, or advertising of tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, controlled substances, or messages with non-Christian themes is PROHIBITED. Shoes and shirts must be worn at all times outside the cabins. Clothing, robes or any other non-transparent apparel must be worn over swim suits going to and from the swimming pool for ALL campers and Cabin Leaders. Females will wear dark colored T-shirts over two-piece or cut-out swim suits while swimming. Males may not wear tight-fitting or brief-type swim suits.

11. Will I lead Bible studies? Every Cabin Leader should be prepared to lead a devotional time at the end of the day with their cabin, giving their campers an opportunity to ask questions about God and their relationship with Him. Devotional guides are included in your camp booklet.

For the Lord is good, and his faithful love en-

dures forever; his faithfulness, through

all generations. Psalm 100:5

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WHAT TO LOOK FOR

WHEN CHECKING FOR HEAD LICE

Pediculosis, or head lice, is a condition that each year affects approximately six to twelve million children between the ages of three and 12 years of age, and about one in every 100 elementary school children.

Head lice are parasites that are generally found on the scalp, around the ears, and at the back of the neck. The adult louse is about the size of a sesame seed, and can be a reddish brown color. Eggs, or nits, are smaller and silver in color.

Because of the small size of head lice and their resemblance to dandruff, it is not uncommon for patients to receive a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Diagnosis is usually made on the basis of symptoms and confirmed through the identification of a live louse on the head. Identification of a nit is not confirmation or a live infestation.

Dead eggs and the remnants of hatched eggs remain firmly glued onto the hair for several weeks.

The most common symptom of head lice is head scratching, particularly at night, although red bite marks may also be noticed.

Treatment: If you suspect your child has head lice, the child should be examined by your health care provider. Nit

picking with a fine-tooth comb along with safe and effective products are available, both over the counter and by

doctor’s prescription, for treatment of the problem. It is important to follow the directions carefully. You can use

olive oil as well. Saturate the hair with olive oil and cover with a plastic shower cap or a plastic bag for several

hours or overnight. With olive oil still in hair, comb all nits out of hair then wash with an oil removing agent, such

as dawn soap, then hair can be rewashed with shampoo. Blow dry hair very well. The heat can help kill the nits

and lice. Parents should also wash in hot water or dry-clean all recently worn clothing, hats, used bedding, and

towels. Personal care items such as combs, brushes and hair clips should also be washed in hot water. All

backpacks, purses, stuffed animals and other non-washable items can placed in a plastic bag and kept closed for

two weeks. All carpets and furniture should be vacuumed as well. Everyone in the household should be checked

for lice/nits and treated as needed.
