EPISCOPAL CHURCH CAMP OF ILLINOIS

July 4 to July 10, 2004

Sponsored by the Episcopal Dioceses of Quincy and Springfield

Located at East Bay Camp  - Hudson, Illinois

15 minutes north of Bloomington/Normal on Lake Bloomington

PURPOSE STATEMENT

The purpose of the Episcopal Church Camp of Illinois is to provide both youth and adult participants with the extraordinary opportunity to build and live in a Christian community within the environment of the cabins, lakes, and woods of East Bay Camp. It is our goal that all participants will experience this life in Christ, the particular expressions of which may be somewhat different from what they experience in their home parishes; and that their growth in Christ may be enriched by experiences.

To that end, we ask of everyone who attends the camp, in whatever session, that they:

1.  Participate fully (or as fully as is physically possible) in all activities of their cabin and/or session;

2.  Honor and respect the dignity of every other camper, either child or adult;

3.  Honor and respect the property of our hosts, East Bay Camp, and also of every other camper;

4.  Follow any and all procedures as may be outlined by East Bay Camp;

5.  Follow any and all rules as may be outlined by their particular Cabin Leader or Session Director.

**Attendance at Camp indicates the acceptance of the above principles**

Episcopal Church Camp of Illinois
