Everything you need to know for RISE Winter Camp 2024!
Dear Parents,
I am so thrilled to welcome your student to JH Winter Camp 2024! We are going to have a blast. I am praying that the Lord will work mightily in the heart of your student(s) this year at camp. Camp is fun and such a great opportunity for our students to have some undistracted time under God’s Word and discipleship.

PACKING LIST:

NO PHONE POLICY:
In an effort to protect our students from the dangers of technology and the internet, I am asking students to NOT bring their cell phones or any other device to camp. If you would like them to bring their phone in order to communicate with you periodically, we will collect their phones at check-in and keep them charged and safe with us for the weekend (please provide their phone charger if you would like to do this). If they ever need to use it to contact you, they can simply ask any of our staff. Also, they can just use mine (Terrell’s) or any staff's phone to contact you. And you can contact me at any point if you have any questions or concerns (contact info at the bottom of this email). My heart is only to protect our students and eliminate any distractions for the weekend. ALSO – I will be sending out email updates every night of camp so you can know how our day went!
FOOD / LODGING / SHOWER INFO:
The food is going to be delicious and your student will never go hungry (see meal times on the camp schedule below). There will always be water available to them and we will even have snacks available to them throughout the day. If your student has any food allergies, our staff will be aware of it if you indicated it during registration. This also applies to all other allergies or medicine needs - we have a complete list of it all and will dedicate the weekend to making sure your student is safe.
Students will sleep in cabins with other students. Girls with girls and boys with boys. Staff will be spread out amongst the cabins to make sure students are safe and accounted for. If your student would like to shower (boys sometimes don't - gross but true), we recommend that they bring flip-flops. Cabin assignments will be provided at check-in. Please no special requests - we will group students according to their grade/gender. Please let me know if you have any questions.
GAME TEAMS:
Click the button below to view which team your student is on. This is helpful as you pack for the weekend - come decked out in some team spirit! NO CHANGES – THIS IS A VERY MINIMAL PART OF CAMP! (FRIENDS WILL BE ABLE TO BE WITH EACH OTHER FOR MAJORITY OF TIME).
TALENT SHOW:
We will have a Winter Camp Talent Show on Saturday (1/13)! If your student would like to participate, they can sign-up at camp. All instruments/equipment desired for the talent show must be brought by the student – unfortunately, we cannot have students use our band’s instruments. If you or your student have any questions about the Talent Show, please don't hesitate to ask me!
NOT TOO LATE TO SIGN-UP JH FRIENDS!
Please make every last effort to invite JH friends, family, and neighbors! We want to reach as many students with the gospel as possible. Our corrupt culture is dragging students into immorality, fear, depression, and anxiety. We need to make every effort to reach the lost. Do not let money be an issue for them, we still have scholarships available. We will keep sign-ups open up until the day before camp
This was a long email. But hopefully helpful for you. Please let me know if you have any further questions. I am SO excited for Winter Camp!
In Him,
Terrell Medina
