The Fair Havens Team is delighted to present the 2014 Fair Havens Summer Program Schedule in the enclosed pages!

2014 promises to be a very exciting year of ministry for Fair Havens & its staff. During the summer, we will delve into the ‘character & attributes’ of our God with the intent of awakening & renewing a desire in each of us to get to Know God in a more personal and intimate way. He IS All-Powerful, Ever-Present, Holy, Our Creator, All-Loving, Merciful & Just, Ever-Faithful, Good and Cares about us personally. He IS Awesome!!

Our desire for each one of our guests is found in Ephesians 1:17 “I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of Him.”

There are a variety of experiences awaiting you at Fair Havens and our prayer is to see families being encouraged and experiencing JOY! Please join us this summer for life change!

As well, our Fair Havens team is excited to host you and your family and trust that you will be blessed as you invest in time together – discovering who God is in the beautiful setting of our well— equipped facility.

“A time to reflect. A time to look at what it means to glorif� God.”

Family Camp OverviewWhat a wonderful way to spend a week or two! Join us at Fair Havens Bible Camp this summer for a time you will not forget. Located north east of Beaverton on the beautiful Trent Waterway System, you will make memories that last a life-time!

At Fair Havens your experience is sure to meet the needs and interests of you and your family. Each week offers quality programming for all ages and interests based on Biblical values.

Typically your week will start on Saturday with our community BBQ and it continues from there. We have programs for infants to seniors and everyone in between.

Our Campground sites are equipped with water and hydro and some with water/hydro/sewer and campfire pits for family marshmallow roasts and sing songs.

Never camped before? If staying in a tent or trailer isn’t for you we offer motel style rooms for individ-uals and families. We can put a package together for you that will suit your budget. Our dining room offers meal packages with the opportunity of three meals a day. For lighter meals and treats, enjoy an ice cream cone from our Connexion Café.

Other features on our grounds are: 9 hole golf course, splash pad for the little ones, swimming pool, volleyball, beach, tennis and much more.

You will find a great book to purchase in our Christian bookstore, The Word Shoppe, with books, bibles and gift items for all.

Community and hospitality is what we believe God has gifted us to do best and we are sure you will feel blessed as you participate.

“We love Fair Havens as there is something for all ages and is a fantastic place to build

on our faith as a family.”

Adult Ministry Adult MinistryAdults can look forward to a schedule of Bible Teaching seminars and worship experiences designed to feed your mind and soul, equipping you for life and godliness.

From Morning Watch devotional to daily morning and evening chapel services - you will feed on the truth and inspiration of God’s Word. After morning chapel, enjoy what is known by parents as ‘treasured gold’ - a period of about one and a half hours when your children are participating in a safe, engaging program and parents can relax and rejuvenate.

Family Life Application SeminarsFair Havens and Relationship Support Ministries are partnering to present this popular seminar series every Monday and Tuesday throughout the summer from 10:45am-12pm. There will be topics that will help couples and families in their day to day lives that focus on Oneness in Marriage and Family as well as focusing on life's issues.

Relationship Support Ministries (RSM) exists to encourage and restore unity in relationships.

Plan to attend these important Family Life Applica-tion Workshops. These are real life bible-based presentations with David & Linda Halse, RSM Directors and Dianne Nolson, RSM Program Director.

Your children will be nurtured by experienced, motivated and enthusiastic staff that have been chosen for their care and love of children, and serve under the direction of the Family Ministry Director.

This is a great opportunity for children to share in this memorable camp experience as seeds are planted and their faith grows deeper in the One who came to give them Life.
