MEMORANDUM FOR CARAVAN DIRECTORS

Subject: South Carolina District Nazarene Caravan Round-Up 2016

Dear Caravan Director:

Caravan Round-Up will be held at Midland Valley Community Church of the Nazarene in Clearwater, South Carolina on Saturday,March 19, 2016. Registration will be from 9:30 – 10:00 a.m. in the Family Ministries Center Midland Valley campus.

As you know, the purpose of Caravan is to help our children’s spiritual, physical, mental and social growth. I encourage maximum participation. There will be races and games that will focus on teamwork and working together to achieve a goal. There will be team building activities for 3rd – 6th grades and an arts and crafts project for 4 year olds – 2nd grade. This will encourage our Caravaners social and physical growth. There will be a devotional time that will focus on spiritual growth.

Registration will start at 9:30 a.m. This will consist of turning in your completed Caravan Round-Up participants list, picking up the local Caravan director packet, and receiving any changes to the schedule of the day. I am asking that you please bring along adults to help supervise the kids and events for the day. It is suggested that the ratio of children to adults be 5:1. There will be a $5.00 per person fee for Caravan Round-up. This cost will cover the lunch that is provided. Lunch will consist of hotdogs, chips, drinks, dessert and the fixings.

Your cooperation in making this day a wonderful time for our children is much appreciated and I thank you in advance for your help in making everything go as smooth as possible. All children are winners!! If you have any questions, please call the District Caravan Director at home at (706) 228-4072, cell phone (706) 339-0508 or email: . I look forward to seeing you on March 19thfor a great day of fun with our children. Your prayers are much appreciated. May God continue to bless you and your Caravan ministry!
