Jr High students are invited to a week at East Iowa Bible Camp in Deep River, Iowa Monday, July 22 through Saturday, July 27. Bible camp is an awesome opportunity to get away from the routine of daily life and have a personal encounter with God through worship, missionary speaker, and meaningful times of Bible teaching! Bible camp is also a great opportunity to get to know other people and develop lifelong friendships with other brothers and sisters in Christ. EIBC has a zip line, swimming, basketball, fishing, paddle boats, and newly added “human foosball”. I hope you will prayerfully consider going to East Iowa Bible Camp this summer and consider bringing a friend with you. Cost: $175 Registration Deadline: Sunday, April 28.
