Dear Parents,
Greetings! Can you believe that the summer is already here and camp is just around the
corner! It seems like just the other day that we were getting back from last year’s camp!
I’m so excited about what God has in store for our students-I know it is going to be
amazing!
There are several reasons for writing you this letter…
First, let me remind you of the mandatory parent meeting on Sunday, May 28 at 2:00 pm in the Richland
Student Room. It is vitally important that at least one parent attend this meeting. We will discuss the rules
of the camp, check in procedures and packing guidelines, as well as give you an opportunity to ask any
questions that you might have. You will receive a post card in the mail that will inform you if you have a
balance, form or signature that is due. You will need to take care of this at the parent meeting. All balances
and forms are due by the night of the parent meeting.
Secondly, I want you to be aware of what to bring, the packing guidelines, and the camp rules. Along with
this letter is a sheet that gives you all of this information. Please make sure that you and your child check
out the packing guidelines and camp rules as they pack! If you have further questions about any of this
information please call me at 972-231-6400 or email me at [email protected].
We do not allow Middle School students or High School Student Leaders to bring cell phones to camp. Cell
phones today are much more than just phones used to call home. We want to do our best to protect the
environment that every student will experience at TREK. By not allowing phones to be brought to camp we help
protect that environment. I know this means you will have less contact with your student during the week, but I
ask that you trust that we will do our absolute best to help your student have the best experience possible. Our
pledge to you is that we will be quick to call you if there is any sickness or injury to your child. If there is an
emergency and your child needs to call you, they can come to the camp office or you can call my cell phone and
we will get you in touch with your student as quick as possible. I really believe that a week away from texting and
social media will do all of our students some good. Letting go of their phone will be a difficult thing for many of
our students, and there will be many that will be tempted to “sneak” their phone to camp. Please make sure that
you as the parent are in possession of their phone when they leave for camp so that all our campers can enjoy
camp without the distractions that phones can bring. If we find a phone at camp we will keep it in the camp office
and you will be able to pick it up at Firewheel when the campers return. Thank you for understanding and if you
have any questions, feel free to contact me.
We will have a TREK Twitter feed throughout the drive down, our time at camp, and the ride home. We will
update the twitter feed with current happenings, videos, and pictures as well as the progress of the buses
while we are traveling. Go to twitter.com/419trek to check out the exciting days of TREK 2017.
Thank you so much for choosing to send your student with us to camp this year! Please be praying for us
as we are away! It is going to be awesome!
In Christ,
