Plans under way for 56th annual CAMP
Lead Summary

Submitted by Janny Brizius-
On Aug. 7, as young people stream into the Resident Camping Area of Tar Hollow, it will be the opening of the 56th annual CAMP (Constructing Assured & Motivated People). This multi-award-winning youth program is a faith-based (but completely interdenominational) camp for young people grades 6 through recent high school graduates.
The campers sleep in log cabins in the Tar Hollow Forest with a counselor/camper ratio of at least one to seven. They swim, fish, and boat in a beautiful little lake (now sporting a brand new water slide!).
Over 20 areas of interest are offered by means of both morning and afternoon classes, such as sports of all kinds, rappelling, crafts, drama, choir, band, art, photography, nature, journalism, and more. Many other growth opportunities are offered by means of the "trail-blazing" classes and other motivational programming. All classes are taught by qualified instructors.
CAMP has received awards of merit from Parents Magazine, Successful Meetings Magazine, several Ohio mayors, two Governors of Ohio, and even from United States President George H. W. Bush.
However, Dave and Janny Brizius, founding directors of CAMP, feel that the most important "award" they receive each year is the fact that their entire staff returns on a volunteer basis year after year to "pay back" for what they received as campers themselves. (Nearly the entire staff were former campers.)
It is because of this volunteer staff that this magnificent program can be offered for just $215 per camper for the entire week. That amount covers not just room and board, but a camp T-shirt, camp photo, supplies for all classes, treats, field trips and more.
To register your children for CAMP, go to www.sfacamp.org and follow the prompts.
