We're rolling out our photo albums from Workcamp tonight! Workcampers, looking through the albums are a great way to share what we experienced at camp with your parents and family- sit down and scroll through with a running commentary! There are two albums to take in, both pretty much in chronological order- one focusing on what happened at our work sites (click here), and the other filling in everything else, an album we call "Downtime" (click here)

Crunch Time! Last Minute Notes and Parent Info
As you finish prepping for our trip, read through the first page of the handout at this link. There are a few things you may have missed. Parents, hang on to the link for emergency contact info, location details and crew info like our family groups and roommates. I'll see you all tomorrow, Saturday, at 4:30pm, where it will begin to all come together!
In Christ, Tom

Crunch Time! Meet Your Roommates
Word is that we're staying at Lincoln Christian University, and we'll be housed 3 to a room in their dorms. Each dorm has 2 beds, so somebody will be on a cot or air mattress. Take a look at the room list at this link to see who you'll be bunking with. If you want to contact them to agree which one of you should bring the air mattress, feel free to do so. I suggest rock, paper, scissors to decide who gets the floor!

Crunch Time! Keeping Our Crew Healthy...
We don't want a COVID outbreak to cut our workcamp week short, so I'd like to have a record of our COVID status. If you are willing to share with me, please respond to your Remind message/text to let me know if you have or have not been vaccinated, and if not, have you tested positive for COVID at some point. Thanks for your trust- I'll keep your medical info private. Call me if you'd rather talk than text.

Crunch Time! What About My Cell Phone?
All adults will have phones they will lend to anyone for calls/communication with their family anytime during Workcamp. For pictures, dig a pocket digital camera out of the back of the closet and charge it up!
Crunch Time! Get Your Workcamp Health Form In
It's super important that each workcamper named below quickly turn in the health form you received with the other Workcamp papers. Please work to get it filled out and returned this weekend. Download the form here or pick up a copy at church to the left of the choir loft. You can return it to to the dropbox on wall by the church office door Sunday morning, or give it to your Family adult leader if you're meeting. Otherwise, just contact me and we'll figure it out!
Form needed from: Ana, Will, Drew, Mary, Hannah, Mason, Andrew, Ellie, Lucia, Gisele, Lorelei, Chris, Megan, Katie, Mel, Sara and Josh.

Crunch Time! Final Update for Lists and Forms
I made a few updates to our packing guides and to-bring lists. Hard copies are in the rack to the left of the choir loft at church (upper level). The main addition is to bring masks for use all week at camp (we don't yet know exactly when we'll be asked to wear them). Also, the July 24th and 25th info at the top is updated. Click below to download the lists and forms.

Crunch Time! Updated Packing & Departure Details
We've finalized our packing and departure times, and they differ from what's on your "packing guide" due to the change in our church service times. Here's the update- cross out what's on the packing guide!
Saturday, July 24: All-crew meeting Saturday the 24th 4:30-5:30pm. Bring your tools, sleeping bag and food pantry donation (optional). We'll pack those things along with our crew coolers, 9 Square, etc, then meet briefly and pass out our '21 crew t-shirts.
Sunday, July 25: Arrive at church at 7am- be early, not late! Bring your clothes duffle to pack, your carry-on bag and wear your IYC crew t-shirt. We'll finish packing, meet in our family groups, then be commissioned at the 9am service and leave for camp!
Crunch Time! Dress Code for Workcamp '21
Dress Code: We ask that all participants dress modestly. Although we don’t have an official dress code, we are asking the following:
- Participants wear closed-toed shoes.
- Boys wear either long basketball shorts or jeans.
- Girls wear arm-length shorts (modest)
- Please do not wear tank tops; t-shirts are great.
- Every participant should bring a swimsuit; a one-piece (or tankini) modest suit is best for girls.
