Our Story S. Truett Cathy of Chick-fil-A founded WinShape Camps in 1985 with the hopes of creating a camp experience that went just a little deeper. Since then, WinShape Camps continues to shape young people through awesome camp experiences
In 2007, WinShape Camps partnered with Connect Ministries to help take the WinShape Camps experience to communities all over the nation through WinShape Camps C3 Day Camps. WinShape Camps C3 combines sports, recreation, arts, bible study and worship into an unforgettable week in local churches and communities. Summer 2011 will bring the first-ever WinShape Camps One Week Overnight Camp for Girls at Young Harris College. Located at the base of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Young Harris College promises to provide all of the same life-changing adventures campers have experienced at Berry College for years; only in a brand new setting for WinShape Camps. At the core of WinShape Camps is the relentless pursuit of providing a camp environment that challenges campers to sharpen their character and deepen their Christian faith and relationships.

Staff Developme
i2i: Play. See. Become.
With so many voices trying to tell us who we are and what our lives should be about, it’s easy to forget what God says about us. And yet, His voice, His eyes, and His touch are what really matters. So join us in 2011 as we stand eye to eye with God and discover who we really are. Come and play and find that the One who knows you better than anyone here on earth loves you and values you more than you could ever imagine. Come hear God speak into your life. Come feel God’s touch on your heart. Come look into God’s eyes and see how much He cares. Come talk face to face with God like you would talk with a friend. And as you do, come uncover who you could be as His child. It’s game time! Will you play?
2011 Summer Theme
Let’s play a game. This isn’t just any game. It’s a game about life. It’s a game about you. It’s a game that brings each of us to a faceoff. Only we’re not just facing off with another player. In this game we’re facing off with ourselves. It’s a game we call i2i.
Gamers wanted.
Theme passage: Exodus 33:11a “The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend.” 3

O Bring comfortable shorts to wear while running around with kids and on the weekends. Mesh with pockets are good. Bring at least on pair of BLACK Mesh shorts O Bring any recreational clothing item you have that is the color of your village. Your camp director will let you know which color you have.

Housing Information
Housing Information
54
WinShape Camps C3 will be responsible for all of your housing as you travel this summer. Each of the teams will either be staying in dorm style rooms on college and university campus or in a hotel room. You will be rooming with other teammates at every location. In the dorms, you will need to make sure you bring your own linens (towels and sheets, etc). Each week you will have an opportunity to wash clothes either at the church or in other facilities. Each team director will be giving you further information on your housing as you go through the summer.
Special Events Team Time
Connectreation
These teams meet on 3 different occasions during a normal day of camp. The purpose of each team is to provide a time to get to know each other, get the day started, recap yesterday’s events, etc. During team times a leader facilitates an interactive and fun bible study that speaks to all 5 senses so that the message of Christ might be understood through the most creative avenues. The last team time meeting of the day is a chance to recap the day and give a challenge for a way to interact with their families that evening. All teams are broken up by age group and are no larger than 20 children per team.
Welcome to WinShape Camps C3’s version of Recreation! This time is jam packed full of fun, outdoor, team building and thought provoking activities…there is nothing like Connectreation! Here you will see first hand the legend that is the Village Culture. Our 3 Villages (“Ocean” for 1st-2nd graders = blue, “Safari” for 3rd and 4th graders = Red, and “Alpine” for 5th and 6th graders = green) will face off each day in fun and memorable competition.
This is the hub location at WinShape Camps C3. All campers meet here with one of the WinShape Camps C3 staff before they head to the next place on the schedule. It is a place to make sure each staff has all of their campers, an opportunity to make any announcements and a chance to get everyone on the same page before spreading out across campus again. Skills Each camper will choose a total of 5 skills options and will be given 3 of their 5 choices to learn about during the week of camp. Some are active and others are non-active...there is something for everyone. Each camper will spend 50 minutes a day on each of their 3 track times and will have the opportunity to show off what they have learned on Friday (Chick-fil-A Friday Family Fun Day).
Each day begins and ends with celebration inside of our auditorium. This provides all campers with a unique and exciting way to open and close the day on a great note and with lots of energy. Wake UP does exactly what it says! Power surge is sure to send all campers out the door with more energy than they arrived with. Worship One time per day every camper attends a WinShape Camps C3 worship service. With a combination of a live band, camp pastor, comedy, drama, videos and creativity – the hope of Christ is woven through the story of multiple voices on stage. Chick-fil-A Friday Family Fun Day On this day we not only invite every camper, but also every one of their family members. Fridays are the best way to truly connect the church and Chick-fil-A to their communities by providing someone for everyone. Campers show off for their families, families learn what’s available to them in the life of the community and every one eats FREE Chick-fil-A!
