What is Summer Extreme Camps? http://www.extremecamps.com/

Are you a passionate follower of Jesus? Teen Mania's Summer Extreme Camps are designed to help teens genuinely discover God and live an extreme life for Him through:

1. Dynamic praise and worship with today's hottest Christian bands
   
2. Adrenaline-pumping activities
   
3. Power-packed speakers


4. An opportunity to build Godly relationships

Their goal is to provide a unique camp experience unlike any other as a catalyst to see the youth of this generation come together in the Name of Jesus to discover what being a Christian really is all about. They desire CAMP to be more than just another event! Their hope is that CAMP will be a stepping stone for change in the life of each student as well as in church youth groups.

We will be going to camp this summer-June 22-26. We leave from ORLC Monday morning at 8:30 AM...and return Friday afternoon around 3 PM

If you check out the Extreme Camp Website (see above) you will find the BLUE package includes everything and costs $299. We are asking our youth to pay $150 and the remaining balance will be covered by the ORLC Youth Budget. Why? Because this event is that important!

The price includes: transportation to and from camp, air conditioned cabins, all meals, extreme games and activities, sessions and concerts, access to the ropes course, paintball, lake and pool.

Registration opens in January and continues through April 5th. Can't afford the entire $150 right now? That's okay! Pay a $50 (non-refundable) deposit to Mike (Checks made out to ORLC Youth) and pay the balance over the next few months! All payments must be made by June 14th. If you miss paying the deposit by April 5th...you can still attend, but the cost jumps to $200! If you decide really late and want to go after May 3rd, the cost goes up to $250.So pay early and save money! See Mike NOW!

February is the month we celebrate Valentines Day. What better time to reflect on what TRUE LOVE is...the kind we receive from our God and Creator!
Today’s students live in a sex-saturated world. In a media culture where it seems no topic is off limits, you can’t afford to NOT be talking about the big IT – honestly, unashamedly and often – with our youth.
It's Worth Waiting For...
On February 15th, ORLC will be presenting a special evening where we can come together and talk and learn about the kind of relationship God has planned for each one of us. What is Purity and why save the most precious intimate relationship with the one you marry?

Some of the topics we will cover:
Dating
Peer Pressure
Broken Relationships
The Rise of Same Sex Relationships
Internet Pornography
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
What's Secondary Virginity?
What Does the Bible Say?
Unequally Yoked...what's that?
What's A Purity Code
Separated Guy Talk Time
Separated Girl Talk Time
Separated Parent Talk Time


The Youth will have an opportunity to make a verbal, written and visual commitment at the conclusion of the evening. Youth and Parents are encouraged to purchase a special silver ring to signify purity until marriage.

Some choices for rings can be found at:

There are a variety of prices...
Mike will try to have a few there to look at and even purchase...but he will not have all sizes, styles, and prices...
Please call Mike in advance to see about having a ring there for your youth!

I pray each and every one of our youth and parents can make a commitment to join us on Feb. 15th. Look for your special invitation in the mail!
