Youth /Adult Training and Yellow Shirt Commissioning
We typically have several training sessions before camp:
* 1st Year Yellow Shirt: This session is a must for all new yellow shirts, including rising 9th graders, new adults, and high school youth new to the yellow experience.
* Commissioning: There's a commissioning service for all yellow shirts at the 10:55 a.m. worship service on the Sunday prior to the start of camp. Get your t-shirt in the narthex.
* Sunday of Camp Week All yellow shirts – youth and adults – go out to the campsite after that Sunday's 10:55 service. We will meet in Room 317 for some training, then pack the yellow bus, and head out to Camp Crabtree in Umstead State Park. Lunch will be provided at the church before we go. We will be back at church by 5:00 p.m. This is a super important session, so let Pete or Ruthie know if you cannot attend.
