The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is hosting two Weekend of Champions camps at Solid Rock Christian Camp in Eastland this month, and FCA Big Country East representative Paul Johnston would like to see all interested high school youth attend.

“God will change lives at these events,” said Johnston. “If you are in high school, you should come. If you know a high schooler, you should send them.”

The boys camp will be this weekend, Jan. 17-19, and the girls camp will be Jan. 24-26.

“I’m hoping that kids will attend, though I realize that is will be hard for Moran and Albany students, with Albany’s Winter Formal this weekend and the county stock show next weekend,” Johnston said. “Still, I’m hoping that we will have at least a few who can attend.”

Johnston added that flyers with all of the information about the camps have been posted at area high schools.

“The Weekend of Champions is the FCA version of a Disciple Now weekend,” Johnston said. “It is not exclusively for athletes. The boys camp will be led by an all-male staff, and the girls camp will have all women ministering to the young ladies.”

Registration fees are $100 for the boys camp and $120 for the girls camp. 

Half and full scholarships are available, according to FCA tri-college representative Aleah Dillard.

“I don’t want money standing in anybody’s way,” added Johnston. 

To register, or to find out more information, contact Johnston by email at pjohnston@fca.org or by phone at 325-660-2347, or email Dillard at adillard@fca.org.
