Are options available in the camp program for graduating seniors?
PowerPlus Camp offers a special opportunity to all 2010 High School
Graduates! The special opportunity is called the “OUT GROUP”. The
“OUT GROUP” is designed to assist youth leaders in moving these
students out of youth ministry onto a college campus or into the
work force. During the morning and afternoon parts of the day "OUT
GROUP" students follow a format designed to challenge students in
service, leadership and following God in His mission to the world.
Students eligible to
participate in the OUT GROUP program are those that graduate in
2010. Older students, college students, or those who have been
in the OUT GROUP previously are not allowed to participate.
