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.
