ARRIVAL INFO Please arrive between 5:30-6:30 pm on Friday evening. Upon arrival, you will check in to receive your keys, turn in any necessary paperwork, and receive students’ POIs.

HEALTH AND SAFETY We are committed to your safety now, as much as ever. Crossings continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely. We have implemented a new Health and Safety Plan that includes a rigorous screening program for staff and participants, more stringent cleaning measures, a thorough hand sanitation program, and more. We are working closely with our local health department officials to follow the recommendations set forth by the CDC and the Kentucky Department of Health to equip our staff and guests to minimize the spread of germs. If best practices or restrictions necessitate an adjustment to the Fall Renew program, we will let you know immediately. For more information on our Health and Safety Plan, you can visit https://gocrossings.org/health-and-safety-plan/.

SUMMER MISSIONARIES We are bringing the best and brightest college-aged staffers to love your students, share the gospel, and bring the fun.

BIBLE STUDY BOOKLETS We will not have Bible Study booklets for this event in order to help keep your cost down and to keep the event simple.

BIBLE STUDY TOPICS God will renew all things. Join us this Fall, escape the distractions of the pandemic, reset, and be refreshed by God’s word. Come to taste, see, and hope in God’s great promises to renew everything from the souls of men to the foundations of the earth. “5 And he who was seated on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true’” (Rev 21:5).

New Heart - Ezekiel 36:22-32; 2 Cor 3:6; 4:1-6 New Command - John 13:31-35 New Mindset - 1 Peter 1:1-9 New Creation - Isaiah 65:17ff

CHURCH GROUP STUDY In lieu of small groups, YOUR group will be leading a time of application with your group after each of the first three worship sessions. We will assign you a location and a Summer Missionary host for your group to use throughout the weekend once you arrive. You may use this time as you see fit: have fun, build relationships, apply the Bible Study, teach the gospel, etc. We will provide you with stock discussion questions and our 3 Circles Gospel teaching guide for your use. These are both attached to this Survival Guide. We will also have some easy-to-run group game explainer sheets ready for your use.

ACTIVITIES Our activities will include: Arts and Crafts, Bazooka Ball, CrossBowl, Disc Golf, Hatchet Throwing, Hiking, Minute-to-Win-It, Kayaking (JC), Laser Tag (JC), Team Building, Zip Lines (CM). You can read activity descriptions at https://gocrossings.org/find-a-camp/student-camp/#activities.
