Published 3:40 pm Friday, May 23, 2008
Special People In Religious Education will hold a one-day camp at Prairie River Camp near Bricelyn, on Saturday, June 7, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
In place of the annual Gilbert Kuyper Memorial Picnic at Edgewater Park, the S.P.I.R.E. board of directors is offering an exciting opportunity of all-day outdoor activities.
A hayride or golf cart tour of the grounds will kick off the morning, followed by chapel and a concert featuring Deliver Me and a petting zoo in memory of Karen Thisius.
Lunch will be provided for $5, which will include the all-day program.
There will be bingo and crafts and field games of choice in the afternoon, closing with a snack and singing around the campfire.
Sponsorships and donations are being requested from friends in the community to assist with camp expenses. S.P.I.R.E. volunteers are not paid, and the group is a 501-c-3 organization. Donations may be sent to S.P.I.R.E., 803 Madison Ave., Albert Lea.
Caregivers are expected to supervise during all activities. For more, call Judy at 373-2795, or to register, contact Myrne at 377-7568. Registration is needed by Tuesday.
