Champs Camp!  We Love It! This cheer will soon be heard all throughout the halls of First Baptist Church Brownwood as they host the 9th annual Champs Camp from Monday, March 12th through Friday March 16th.  Children from kindergarten through 6th grade will be involved in this sports-based Christian day camp designed to aid families who have a need for child care during the week of spring break.  The ministry opportunity, offered by FBC Brownwood, is spearheaded by the Children’s Ministry of the church.

Celeste Church, Interim Children’s Ministry Director at FBC, stated that each day at Champs Camp children will be taught basic principles of four sports:  football, basketball, soccer and volleyball.  While church members will be the primary support mechanism for the event, students of Howard Payne University, A&M University, UT Dallas, and Lamar University will give their Spring Break week to help Brownwood kids have a great week.

Pre-registration for the event will continue through March 9th.  Parents can pre-register their children by visiting the church website at www.fbcbrownwood.org, and clicking on the Champs Camp link.  Children can also be pre-registered by calling the church office at 646-8505.  While pre-registration is helpful, children can also be registered at the door Monday morning.

Cost for the event is $48 for one child, and $43 for each additional child in a family if registered before March 1st.  After that point, the fee is $58 for one child, and $53 for each additional child in a family. Each child will need to bring a sack lunch, and should be brought to “The Brick” behind FBC Brownwood by 8:00 AM.  Hours for the day-long event are 7:45 AM to 5:15 PM, allowing parents to drop off before 8:00 AM and pick up shortly after 5:00 PM as necessary.  For more information, visit the church’s website, or call 646-8505.
