fellowship north speaks

a place to talk about what's going on at FN

Camps, camps, and more camps!

If you’ve been hanging around Fellowship North lately, you know that there is a LOT going on with our middle and high school students. Camps are quickly approaching and we want to make sure you are in the loop! If you are interested in finding out more about the events below, contact Taido Chino or Bobby Harrison at 771.1117.


The New Year is here and we’re already marking up calendars here at Fellowship North.  We have a big 2011 planned for our students with plenty of opportunities for them to grow in their relationship with God.  This year may prove to be a little different than last, or even the last few, but we’re asking you to be open to some new ideas this New Year.

elevateMIDDLE SCHOOL

LSD @ Castle Bluff – FEB 11-13

Love, Sex, and Dating Camp:  It’s an incredible opportunity for students to hear what the Bible has to say about such a critical topic.  Also, if you’ve never experienced the Bluff in the winter, you’re missing out!

crossingHIGH SCHOOL

SNOWCAMP @ Copper Mountain – MARCH 20-26

Another year, another great trip to the mountains.  This go-around we’re headed to one of Colorado’s finest.  Better yet, we’re staying right on the mountain.  First time?  4th time?  Doesn’t matter.  You won’t want to miss it.

PEAK MINISTRIESMIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL

KIDS ACROSS AMERICA Camp – JUNE 17-24

First things first:  there will be no DCAMP or HS Mission Trip this year, certainly not in the way that we normally think about those trips.  But we still believe discipleship and mission are incredibly significant for our students.  That is why we are headed to Kids Across America this summer.

A handful of our students and leaders have been to KAA camps in the past and come back with one thing in mind:  we need to give all of our students the opportunity to experience this.  Well here’s that opportunity.

KAA’s mission is “to build Christian leaders by encouraging, equipping, and empowering them.”  Discipleship is woven right into their fabric.  Our church’s mission is “to mobilize a racially-unified family of God, called out as the presence of Jesus in our world, to pursue His mission: all people reconciled to God.”  KAA is a predominantly urban youth camp, with a focus largely towards inner-city students.  By bringing our mostly suburban youth into this environment, we’re hoping to see God stretch and grow this generation into caring about one thing:  loving God and loving people.

Discipleship and Mission will right at the forefront of what we do this summer.  No doubt about it.  It may look different than it has in the past, but we believe this could be 2011’s biggest strength.  Join us in this new journey.

Forms for all camps will be available at fellowshipnorth.net

it’s beginning to look a lot like…skiing?

by Sarabeth Jones

Many of you know that every year high school students have a chance to go skiing with Fellowship North during spring break. What you might not realize is that there is another ski trip – at the same time, to the same place – that is open to anyone who wants to go. That’s right! Two trips, both happening March 20-26, 2011.

Personally, I love the idea behind both of these trips. I first went skiing as a high school student, and it was a wonderful week. I learned how to ski, experienced the beauty of the Colorado mountains, and got to hang out with my friends. Best of all, I had an entire week to listen and learn about God from someone who really knew how to speak into a high school student’s life. Now that I’m grown and have 3 kids of my own, I have loved being a part of the Family Camp for the last 2 years. My children have learned to ski and love being in Colorado. Plus, Family Camp has fun activities geared just for us; we have so many great memories!

So why are we talking about spring break right now? Well, we thought we might could help you out with your Christmas shopping. If you’d like to give the gift of skiing to each other as a family, or to your high school student, here are the details:

Snowcamp (for 9-12 graders) and Family Camp (all ages) both have a base price of $595 per person ($560 for age 12 and under). The trips will both head to Copper Mountain, where they will stay in The Village at Copper Mountain, right at the foot of the slopes. Your cost covers transportation, 3 days of skiing, and meals while you’re there; you will need to buy meals on the trip out and back, and your cost could change depending on extras like snowboard rental or ski school. The trip also has a rest day built in so you’ll have some time to relax, hang out, eat, or shop.

Brochures with more information and sign up forms will be available on Sunday, December 19 (which gives you about a month to make the early sign up deadline of January 23), but if you have questions now, you can contact the trip leaders.

Snowcamp: email Taido Chino.
Family Camp: email Rhonda Bentley

See you on the slopes!
