Dear PAL Families,
I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter weekend. Thank you for attending registration last week, including those that used mail-in registration. We are already hard at work organizing all of the registration forms and will soon be placing campers in cabins. Once all of the camper's information is complete, this email group will close and all current PAL Camp families will be added to our 2019 email group. I am so pleased to say that all 8th grade campers who attended registration last week made the cut. However, we are definitely full, and will not be accepting any new registrations for that grade. Some of the other grades do have some available spots but not many. Armada PAL is a small town organization made up of volunteers, and we are always looking for ways to improve. Included in this email is a short survey that we are asking our PAL families to fill out. The link is below and all responses are confidential. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSceENZ4H8q2WHMJarU7ySc-V-adIZgk0rTXhBe6p-DDaSx1VA/viewform?usp=sf_link Have a great week.

Dear PAL Camp Families,
I hope all of you have been enjoying this beautiful spring weather. It is a sweet reminder that PAL Camp is just around the corner. We are excited that Early Mail-in Registration is up and running. Avoid those long lines and register by mail for current grades 5th - 7th. Remember, when filling out the registration form, write down your camper's current grade, NOT the grade they will be in next school year. Also, make sure you have included the Registration Form, Health History Form, Online Waiver, and $50 nonrefundable deposit. Be sure those forms are properly filled out and signed. All forms must be postmarked by April 13th. Have a great week. Shirley Frederick Assistant Camp Director shirley@armadapalcamp.org Dear PAL Families,
I am excited to let you know that PAL Camp 2019 registration forms are now available on our website. We have upgraded our site to include a couple more items that will make the registration process easier and to allow you to stay closer to our mission all year long. You can locate the registration forms for download and print on our site in the Parent Portal at armadapalcamp.org. Remember, early mail-in registration is for current grades 5th thru 7th only. Because of limited spots, those campers registering for the 8th Grade High Adventure Program, must register in person. For mail-in registration, the following forms must be included:
The window for early mail-in Registration is April 8th - 13th. All forms must be postmarked by April 13th. Registration forms received after the deadline will be held until in person registration has closed and will be added in pending available space. When filling out the forms, your camper may choose one bunkmate. Make sure that whoever your camper has chosen as a bunkmate, has chosen them as well. All perfect matches will be guaranteed cabinmates. When mailing in your camper’s registration form, please include a $50 non-refundable deposit. The balance is due on or before orientation, which is May 21st. As mentioned in the previous email, we do have a credit card option this year. Please make all checks out to “Armada PAL.” and send all forms and deposit to Armada PAL, P.O. Box 564, Armada, MI 48005. You will find all necessary information and answers to many questions on our website. If you have any questions on navigating the site, please do not hesitate to reach out to myself or Anna Shea Becker at annasheab@armadapalcamp.org. Sincerely, Shirley Dear PAL Families,
Spring has arrived!!! That means we are getting ready for PAL Camp 2019. This year we will be celebrating our 35th year providing Armada youth with one of their best weeks of the summer. PAL Camp dates are Sunday, August 4th until Saturday, August 10th. Registration will be held on Wednesday, April 17th, 6:30 p.m. at Armada Middle School for all current grades 5th thru 8th. To avoid those long lines, Early Mail-in Registration is once again available for current grades 5-7. Because of limited spots, those campers registering for the 8th Grade High Adventure Program, must register in person. All necessary forms will be available on our website beginning April 5th. The window for Early Mail-in Registration is April 8th - 13th. All forms must be postmarked by April 13th. Registration forms received after the deadline will be held until in person registration has closed and will be added in pending available space. The cost for camp is $325. There is a $50 nonrefundable deposit required at registration. The balance is due on or before orientation, which is May 21st. This year we also have a credit card option. Unfortunately, it comes with a cost. There is a surcharge of 3.5% + $0.15 that will be passed along to you. To keep the cost down, stick with cash or a check. If you choose the credit card option, I recommend paying in full. Otherwise, you will pay the surcharge twice. The surcharge for paying in full equals $11.53. I will send you a follow up email with additional information the first week of April. Know that after registration, this email group will be closed. So, if you no longer have a PAL Camper, you will no longer receive my emails after registration. If you have not been receiving our parent emails and would like to, please comment below oe reach out to me directly at shirley@armadapalcamp.org. For more information, please continue our website and follow us on Facebook for the latest updates. I hope everyone has a great spring break. Shirley Frederick Assistant Camp Director shirley@armadapalcamp.org In collaboration with Center Lake Bible Camp and Retreat Center, Armada PAL Camp is helping support the build of a lodge to support our program and we are dedicating to past PAL volunteer, 8th Grade counselor, and family member, Cody Pagan. Standing on the previously tented 8th Grade campgrounds, The Cody Lodge is a three-season housing unit and is approximately 112'x18'. It has four camper cabins, a staff cabin, 24 permanent wooden frame bunk beds with a total capacity of 52 people. It also has a covered porch running the length of the lodge that provides campers a protected place to gather. Armada PAL is so thankful and excited for this new building in collaboration with Center Lake Bible Camp. We know our campers will love it, and there will be countless memories and friendships formed in it this summer.  |
