We have just received news from our partners at Lutherhill Ministries that they need to cancel our Day Camp Program this year. This summer Lutherhill has a shortage of staff members and this week they had half of their summer staff tested positive for COVID-19. Sadly, after weighing our options with Matt Kindsvatter and our own congregation’s leadership, we have decided that it would be best for all to cancel Day Camp at Christ the King Church this year.
This is an unfortunate decision to make, but we want to provide the best possible Day Camp for all our families. But more importantly, we want to keep our children, youth, volunteers, and families healthy and safe. To do day camp with our limited healthy staff, it would not be possible. If you have already paid your amount for Day Camp, we will be issuing refunds. If you are needing help to finding day camps in the area for your children this this upcoming week or if you have any questions, please contact Deacon Ben at benremmert@ctkelc.org.
We are heartbroken for the children and parents who looked forward to camp, and how the cancellation may impact your family life. Our staff poured their hearts into preparing this season for you and are equally disappointed. We hope to have a truly amazing Day Camp next summer. If you have any questions, please contact us.
God Bless,
Pastor Amandus Derr
Interim Senior Pastor
