CAMP UPDATE
Antonio Welcome Home: We had a large group of about 40 that were able to meet at the San Diego Airport and welcome home our Family member/Brother in Christ Antonio. It was a great reunion as he was greeted by many. We were all able to welcome him home and spend an evening in Denny's fellowshipping and Thanking God for Antonio home safely.
We would like to Thank Anastasia for creating a FACEBOOK for Julian Oaks! Anyone involved with Julian Oaks can stay in touch and communicate there on Facebook.
ALUMNI GATHERING
We had many past Campers/Counselors attend on that day it was a fun-time had by all with many activities and food and fellowshipping to enjoy. We even had husband and wife couples that attended as well as some of our younger moms. The campers were very excited to reunite. Adult campers that were not able to make it this year’s alumni camp are already preparing in advance for the next one to take place. Thank you Nitro for all the photos that you have taken over the years and put them into photo albums. This meant so much to the campers who can look back and see how they have grown over the years. Many of these campers are often moved home to home and they don't have photos of when they were growing up.
