Summer camp, in my opinion, is the best thing that we do as a student ministry. Over the years of being a student pastor, I have always see much growth and unity that develops in our group at camp. We will work with you as much as we can. We had a Ham/Turkey fundraiser to assist you with the financial costs of camp or other student activities. Several of our students have D-Now, Camp & extra events paid for just by selling hams and turkeys. We plan on having a couple of fundraisers in the Spring. A possible Boston Butt Sale & a Flocking in March.
Parents, I understand that if you may have overlooked the camp deposit due to D-Now being due. If you are wanting your student to go to camp please arrange to get the deposit in a soon as possible. $50 is due at time of sign up.
Fuge Camps require us to pay a deposit of $50 per student by February 1. We are then required to pay an additional $50 per student by May 1. The rest of the camp costs are due 4 weeks before camp starts. This is money we do not get back. We try to spread out your camp costs out with monthly payments to help you with your budget.
Using a church youth group for our example, an announcement is made to the church that the youth group is trying to raise funds for
(fill in the blank cause) and that they will do so by holding a Flamingo Flocking Fund Raiser.
Under the cover of darkness, the youth group will visit a member of the church's front yard and proceed to fill it with 20+ Pink Flamingos! In order to have the obnoxious pink birds removed, the "victim" must make a donation to the youth group's cause. Once a donation is made, the "victim" gets to choose who in the congregation will be the next recipient of the Flamingo Flock. The youth group then removes the Flamingos and delivers them to the next selected recipient after dark. This cycle continues until the fund raiser is over.
One twist to the fund raiser is to offer "Flamingo insurance" to the church members at the time the fundraiser is originally announced. For an amount to be determined, a member can insure that the Flamingos will never visit his/her yard by paying the "insurance premium" up front.
