Our whole purpose in having a summer camp is for you to have a place to go to have fun and learn how much God

cares about YOU. The staff come here because God has made a difference in their lives and they want to share

that with you. Camp is about relationships; about friendship with other campers, the staff and with Jesus.

In the Bible God says, I know the plans I have for you, plans to

prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a

future. Jeremiah 29:11 It doesnt matter if the earth is shaking

around you, like in Haiti, or if you have trouble all around you. God

has a plan and a purpose for YOUR life. Take time to pray and ask

Him to show you, and He will hear and answer you.

You can register online at www.csranch.ca/halkirkOr call or email the Ranch Office at the numbers listed atthe top of this page.

Do youremember the number one rule of Teepee Village? Have FUNHave FUNHave FUNHave FUN!!! Did you know thatJesus wants us to be able to enjoy life. Life is a gift and that is why it is called thepresent. Jesus said that He came so that YOU could have life, and life more abun-

dantly (John 10:10)! Jesus also said that He is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). The way to lifeis through the truth, through Jesus. Did you know that you win or lose by the way you choose? Chooselife!!! Choose Jesus. Each and every day talk to Him. Are you afraid? Tell Him.Are you happy? Tell Him. He loves you Teepee Villagers, and He will never

leave your or forsake you. He will never walk out on you and leave you alone.He will always be by your side and stay with you. He wants to be your bestfriend. All of us staff at the Ranch are looking forward to seeing you come

back to Teepee Village this summer and we can't wait until you are here.

RewardRewardRewardReward: The summer of a lifetime!! Excellent leadership training, Experience in children & youth Ministries Circle Square Ranch is looking for energetic and enthusiastic people ages 16 and up to be part of our team

this summer. If you are interested in a summer filled with fun, wonderful friends, and lots of new challenges

we invite you to come and be part of our summer staff!!

This is an opportunity for you to share your love for Jesus with a whole new group of children and teens. If

we dont reach this generation with good newsthe GOOD NEWS of JESUS, well lose them to the world

with its anxiety and fear. We need to let everyone know that there is HOPE and LIFE in JESUS.

Staff Support FundThe majority of people who work at Circle Square do so

on a volunteer basis. We have a fund which family and

friends are able to donate money toward that is then di-

vided between the staff who participate in raising funds for

the Staff Support Fund.

Staff who have participated in the past have found it simple

to do, and have really appreciated the money they receive

at the end of the summer to pay for school and just life in

general expenses. All that is required to participate in

raising funds is to tell potential donors that you are volun-

teering at camp, put the information in their hands, and ask

if they would be willing to contribute. They can then con-

tact the Ranch Office regarding their donation.
