17th Annual Camping Trip

It's time to register for the Camping Trip on August 13-15 at Black Moshannon State Park.

Here's what we need from you to register. (Get a copy of the brochure at http://www.tenthmaranatha.org/uploads/media/2010_Brochure.pdf.)


1. Travel Arrangements.
a. Will you come on the early vans (9:00 AM), the late vans (7:00 PM), or will you provide your own transport.
b. If driving yourself, what time will you be arriving?    :00 AM/PM on Fri/Sat

2. Money.
a. The cost is $60 per person. 
b. There is a per person family discount of $10 times the number of siblings. In other words, if you have a sister coming along, each of you pays $60 - ($10 X 1 sibling) = $50.
c. There is a $10 Late Registration Fee after August 1. The idea is that we need to have you confirmed sooner rather than later so that we can accurately arrange transportation and food. As the date of the trip comes nearer, we reserve the right to refuse your attendance if you don't register in time.

3. Release Form.
a. We need your Liability Release Form. (We may already that it on file if you were on the Retreat this past spring. If not, get a copy at http://www.tenthmaranatha.org/uploads/media/liability_release_form-2010_02.pdf.)
b. Any other information that may be important to your health and well-being during the trip, such as allergy information.
