Green Bay Bible Camp COVID-19 Update – March 23, 2020
Dear Green Bay Family,
We are thinking of you in these days and recognize that these are unprecedented times and that with changes happening day by day and hour by hour we are living in the midst of the unknown.
Here at Green Bay we are continuing to follow the wise council of our Government Officials and Health Care Professionals and choosing to put our hope and trust in our Heavenly Father who is over all, in all and through all. God is good and he is in control and our prayer is that you may experience peace and joy in the midst of COVID-19.
We recognize that these next few weeks will look very different than we all imagined and so we have put together a variety of ways in which we hope will serve you and your families during this season.
We are diligently working to make 2020 an amazing experience for all!
We wanted to assure you that, with the current COVID19 situation if camps are unable to proceed because of government restrictions this season, we will fully refund your prepaid camp fees for the affected camps.
Auto payments for camp are due to be processed on April 1 2020, however if you would like us to defer your April payment at this point we are happy to do so. Our regular cancellation policy is outlined on our website for Overnight, Day and Family Camps and if you have any questions or concerns please contact our office at 250 758 5884 or email Cheryl at fun@greenbay.bc.ca.
We encourage you to register for camp to ensure you have a spot for the 2020 summer. Can you imagine how fun camp will be when we are all done with social distancing. We have said it numerous times….we wish you could all be social distancing at Green Bay with us.
