'Go the Distance' at Bethany Lutheran Sports Camp

Come and join the fun at Bethany Lutheran Church's sports camp, open to boys and girls, age 4 to 12. Sign up for soccer, basketball, cheer, or fine arts (drama, music, and art and crafts). New this year is Ultimate Frisbee for ages 8 to 12, as well as "Team 45" for 4- and 5-year-olds.

The Christian coaches are positive role models who provide quality instruction. This vacation Bible school is a safe, supercool place to hang out with your friends - you'll even meet new ones. So come have fun at our place.

There are three ways to register: online at www.bethanybatavia.org/vbs.html, pick up a registration form at the church's resource table, or call the church office at (630) 879-3444.

The camp, with the theme, "Go the Distance," will be 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Monday to Friday, July 17-21, at the church, 8 S. Lincoln St. in Batavia.

UW Sports Ministry from Colorado will be running the program again this year, featuring quality instruction, daily Bible times, skits and fun. They have managed to keep the cost the same as last year at $30 per child. This includes snack each day, a T-shirt, a closing family luncheon on Friday, and loads of fun with the Uncharted Water counselors.
