Annual General Meeting – March 20, 2010
Thirteen camps and conference centers were represented at the AGM. It was a good time to ask questions and get to know people, who have camp at heart, but serve in a different ministry/ facility.
You’d never guess that most of these people didn’t know each other before this meeting. Through a fun way, we were led in a meaningful discussion on ‘diminishing resources’ and how best to address these realities in our camp ministries.
Changes on the CCI J Board
Orville Plummer (Chair) and Yvonne McFarlane are no longer available to serve on the Board. Though they will be missed sorely, we have been assured that we can call on their expertise when needed. Thanks much Orville and Yvonne! 3 new persons have joined the Board. They are Rohan Ambersley (NT Church of God), Sasha Lumsden-Wright (Anglican) and Craig Brown (Moorlands Camps.

Together with Arlene Henry (JBU) Jerrold Johnson (Fel Tab), Andre Virtue (Whole Life Sports) and Nel Blanken (New Generation) they form the new Board (seen here at their first meeting on April 13th)
New Member Camps/Ministries
The Church of God in Jamaica and the Moravian Church are the latest to join CCI Jamaica. The Moravian Camp Hope, at the beachfront of Collodun, West Moreland, bordering Sandals Whitehouse, has sleeping &meeting accommodation for 100 persons. You may contact their head office at 928-1861 for bookings. The Church of God in Jamaica runs its summer camps at a different school each year. We welcome both new members and look forward to working together in the area of Christian Camping.
Training and Summer Camps
Camping ministries are preparing for Summer camps and staff training dates are (being) set. CCIJ, through its network of experienced camp staff trainers, may be contacted to assist in your staff training day. Early notice is however a must! Contact us via email or call 920-1045
A Word from the Chair
God has provided us with a powerful tool (‘a temporary community using the outdoor setting and trained leaders to meet spiritual objectives’). Let’s work together and use this tool to the max, providing opportunity for life-changing experiences. To Him be the glory! |
