Family Camp Pre-Camp Health Screening (pdf)
Dear Family Camp,
We are so excited that, in spite of these unprecedented and uncertain times, we continue to receive reservations for the 109th Annual Family Camp. The Family Camp team is working hard planning and preparing in spite of the COVID-19 virus. If you have attended the event in the past, you have come to expect, “a certain way of doing things.” I would invite you to let it all go! For those of you who have never attended the event before, good news! You are not burdened with “how it’s always been done.”
Isaiah 43:19 says:
“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Bay Shore is doing a new thing; making a way through the “wilderness.” It will be different, but we believe it will be good, special, memorable and life-changing. And we invite you to be a part of it.
We have reviewed all the health and safety guidelines and recommendations provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC,) the American Camping Association (ACA,) and the Michigan Licensing and Regulatory Agency, (LARA,) and we believe we have designed operational protocols to help mitigate risk.
We are still finalizing those operational details, and Family Camp could still be impacted by decisions from our State government, but here are some of the details that you can expect.
In the coming days, we anticipate our planning and procedures will be refined even further. Please be patient with us. Check here for updates.
This year is the 109th Anniversary of Bay Shore Camp. We are pleased that we are able to find a way to continue the tradition of meeting together at Family Camp in these uncertain times. Over the years, the Bay Shore ministry has grown to become so much more and we are pleased to report that we are moving forward with our mission and have opened our overnight children’s and youth camps for the summer. (Already, young lives have been changed for Jesus.) However, the COVID-19 virus has created unprecedented economic challenges for the ministry at Bay Shore Camp. Now, more than ever, the continued financial support of our Family Camp supporters is essential. Your registration fees and offerings at Family Camp are ways we’re able to sustain the ministry.
We recognize that attending Family Camp this year may not be the right decision for your family. We’ll miss you! And, we know that you’ll miss being here. In your absence, would you consider supporting the ministry, with a gift similar to how you’ve supported the ministry in the past? Any financial gift will help minimize the negative financial impact we’re currently experiencing. Thank you in advance for your help.
We look forward to continuing this long-standing tradition and can’t wait to provide a life-changing family camp for you this summer!

Peace and Blessings,
