They will be exposed to other youth who will serve them as speakers\, sharers\, facilitators\, game coordinators\, etc. Seeing other young people like themselves speaking of God’s great love\, taking on leadership roles and serving others will eventually encourage them to do the same. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration Form\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirections\n\n\n\nPayments\n\n\n\nWhat to Bring\n\n\n\nParents\n\n\n\nWhat to Expect\n\n\n\n\nPAYMENT OPTIONS\n\n\n\nThe fee of $60 per participant will be collected to cover meals\, lodging\, t-shirt\, and materials to be used at the event.  \n\n\n\n\nThere are three options for paying the participant’s fee:\n\n\n\nCash.  Payments in cash will only be accepted at the venue on the first day of youth camp.\n\n\n\nCheck. Payments by check must be made payable to “Missionary Families of Christ New Jersey” and may either be paid at the venue on the first day of youth camp.\n\n\n\nZelle.
