2024 Amazing Race Camp:
Race ACROSS DC
A Camp for Rising 7th-10th Graders
July 29 August 2nd 9:00a.m.-4:00p.m. with pick up and drop off at the Franconia/Springfield Metro Stop
Amazing Race Camp will be a week long experience racing through Washington D.C based off the hit TV show. Campers will start at the Franconia/Springfield Metro Stop each morning at 9:00a.m. and be given clues to begin their journey of navigating around D.C. Each day will center around a service project or faith formation adventure across the city. Campers will bring their lunches and we’ll find a spot to eat together each day. Then, we will heed back via the Metro to Franconia/Springfield for pick up at 4:00p.m.. All campers who will be in 7-12th grade for Fall 2024 are welcome to join us!

In addition to your student’s registration, please go over this list of expectations for youth behavior. Each camper will be asked to sign a copy of this covenant on the first day of camp!
10 Commandments of Youth Ministry at Lutheran Church of the Abiding Presence
I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other gods before me.
Enough said!
Do not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
Foul language, curse words, etc. have no place in our youth ministry activities.
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
We will remember to rest when appropriate and work when appropriate. When the opportunity arises, we will worship together and remember that we are representing Abiding Presence when we worship at other congregations.
Honor your father and mother.
Remember this covers all in authority, especially the pastor, event staff, and adult youth leaders!
Thou shall not kill
No guns, weapons, knives, etc. will be permitted. Further, no negative comments or insults about activities or people.
Thou shall not commit adultery.
All participants will act appropriately and respectfully towards one another at all times. Separate sleeping areas and personal boundaries will be respected.
Thou shall not steal.
Keep your hands to yourself and your own stuff.
Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
No gossiping or speaking negatively about people.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house.
We will treat everywhere we visit with the utmost respect remembering that we are guests.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his cattle or anything that is your neighbor’s.
Ok, so hopefully we won’t have too much trouble with the cattle thing!
I promise to abide by the above 10 Commandments for Lutheran Church of the Abiding Presence Youth Ministry. While I understand that there is grace and forgiveness for my sins, I will take full responsibility for my actions.
