Our group will be participating in the Connect version of Camp Generate. Connect is the prime option for community building within church groups, and is all about unity through team building, problem-solving, and celebrating victories together. Each day, we will have several themed activities to do on the connect field within Bible study groups. While Generate staff will be present to assist us on the field, our own adult chaperones will be teaching the Bible studies and small groups! The hope is that our students leave camp changed, knowing they have a responsibility to be discipled and make disciples of all nations!
Here is an exhaustive list of what to bring to Camp Generate:
Your Bible, pens, and note-taking materials
Modest Clothing for 5 Days, including athletic clothing
Dark Colored shirt for Water Day at CONNECT Recreation
NEON NIGHT - bring some Neon Gear for "The Get Down"
Tennis shoes
Pillow and bed linens for twin-sized beds
Towels and washcloths
Any toiletries and medication (medications do not need to be turned in to GENERATE Staff)
Personal snacks for travel and the week
Spending money for traveling meals, and snacks/souvenirs while at camp

Here is what NOT to bring to camp:
- A BAD ATTITUDE
- Weapons, tobacco products of any kind, alcohol or drugs of any kind (DO NOT BRING A VAPE.)
- Fireworks

Camp Generate staff and Briar Hill adults will make judgement calls on all of the aforementioned banned-items as well as clothing violations. Items taken up will at most be held until we return to BHBC after camp is over, with exception to weapons, tobacco products, drugs, alcohol, and vapes. Adults are expected to and will be held to the same expectations as the students. We do not anticipate having issues, but in the case that anyone exhibits consistent and deliberate disrespectful behavior, we will be contacting parents and further measures.
How to Prep for Camp:
> Pray : for our camp leaders and staff, for our adults, for other students going on the trip, and for God to do something huge with our camp experience (i.e. that people would be changed!)
> Pay off your balance!! (PLEASE)
> Get your needed things together EARLY and be ready to roll at the proper time!
> Get your forms turned in by the required times.
We're going to have a lot of fun! Recreation, Bible Study, Worship, Student Talent Show, Neon Night, Fellowship, and MUCH MUCH MORE to come!
