2010 GoTell Camp Basic information

Don’t let the description below confuse you, talk to Kevin or a student who has been to GoTell Camp in the past for more details!

Mount Vernon’s Students attend summer camp at the Georgia Baptist Assembly facility in Toccoa, Georgia. Toccoa is located in the foothills of Georgia just across the state line off of I-85.

GoTell Camp is not a typical summer camp. Although the camp is full of fun and other normal summer camp activities, it also includes chapel services and Christian discipleship, and team building for the youth group. A typical day at camp starts with breakfast in the main dining hall. In the past the meals have been very good. After breakfast MVBC’s teens usually attend a breakout session with teens from one or two other churches. Next, everyone (1,000+ teens) head over to the auditorium to hear a Christian praise band and a speaker. Lunch and midday camp games and activities are next. After supper everyone gathers in the auditorium to enjoy a praise band, skits, entertainment, and guest speakers who usually share the Gospel or inspirational message. The day also includes a good amount of down time to get to know each other better.

Our group stays off campus at a local hotel that has a pool and great air conditioning!

Camp is open to rising 7th graders (those who will be going into 7th grade in the fall or have already entered 7th grade as a year around student) through 12th graders (including those who graduated in June)

FYI- Mount Vernon Baptist Church promotes 6th graders to 7th grade June 6, 2010.
The cost for camp is $250 and includes lodging, transportation, meals at camp, t-shirt, and camp materials.

I am glad you asked- YES as long as they are male and they are in middle school or high School!

Hey CrossQuest Youth- Thank you’ve got game?

Then don’t just sing it, bring it (your A game that is) to CrossQuest’s BIG BAD BASKETBALL BONANZA BLOWOUT BASH 2! Prizes will be awarded to the student who brings the most visitors and to the student who displays the most team spirit. So lace up those smelly sneakers, come dressed in all your favorite team’s colors and gear, and get ready for a SLAM-Dunk of a party!

We are not talking about Mrs. Cheryl B’s granny-shot, Mr. David W’s white knee socks, Mr. Wayne S’s 1960’s uniform, or Mr. Steve C’s rec league kind of basketball- We are talking:

Dunk-a-Thon Krazy K.O. 3-Point Shootout Super P.I.G. Nuttin’ But Net

GoTell Camp 2010

All 7-12 graders interested in going to GoTell Camp June 21-25 need to contact Youth Pastor Kevin Moore at crossquest@embarqmail.com for details and information. Our youth group has been attending GoTell Camp in Toccoa, Georgia since 1999. Many students have come to know Jesus as Savior and Lord at camp, many more have surrendered to God’s call for personal holiness, vocational ministry, or being more bold in sharing the Gospel with friends and family. Sigh up begins MARCH 21.

Operation Canada 2010

CrossQuest Senior High Students are going to Canada this summer! The students will be visiting the Toronto area while sharing the love of Christ with our neighbors to the north.
