Junior Hi Live
Junior Hi Live This incredible weekend is for Junior High and Middle School students. Pastor Drew Buell from Emmanuel Baptist Church/The River Youth Ministries will be challenging students to get in "The Game." His focus is on the disciplines of following Christ.

The Acclaim is a worship band from western Washington. They are hot off the stage from Spring Rally 2007 where they motivated over 450 high school students with their combination of high-energy worship and "filthy" stage skills. They are sure to connect with students.

The focus of the weekend is on being an Extreme part of God's team. There will be numbers of high-energy and crazy games as well as ample free time to connect with teams. Remind students to bring clothes that may get messy (oatmeal wars, paintball, obstacle course that includes the woods and the lake, etc).

Volunteers!
Helping Hands Volunteers Helping Hands Weekend:
Has it really been a year since so many volunteers arrived to have a great weekend of doing much-needed repairs, building new buildings, cleaning and planting, sewing and painting? That's right. Helping Hands is coming soon. Ten dollars per person will feed your family for the weekend. The fellowship is great. If you want to get acquainted and make new friends who are invested in the future of Lake Retreat, come join us. To register, contact Becky or register on-line (see contact information at bottom of page).

Year-Around Volunteers:
We need volunteers year-round. If that is a way you can contribute to God's Kingdom or you want more information, contact the volunteer coordinator, Barb Parr, at bparr@lakeretreat.org, or call Barb at 206-793-5837.

On-Site Prayer Warriors
This summer, we are looking for volunteers willing to come to camp for a portion of the week to pray with campers, to pray for campers, to pray for staff, and to pray for speakers and teachers. The sphere of influence from the world is strong, and we want to bathe this camp in prayer during the time you send your children into our care.

Scholarships
Campers in Canoes Many children have scholarship needs to be able to attend camp. Do you want to have the opportunity to provide a week of camp for a child? Hundreds of children accept Christ during their week at camp. Many more make life-changing decisions in response to the Lord's call for service. If you want to provide a donation to the scholarship fund, click on this link, http://lakeretreat.org/dev_donations.php. If you are in need of a scholarship, contact bhutchins@lakeretreat.org or call her at the camp phone number listed below.

Quote
"What the praying man does is to bring his will into line with the will of God, so God can do what He has all along been willing to do. Thus prayer changes the man and enables God to change things in answer to man's prayer."
