Both Girls’ and Boys spots for Darling Downs Winter Camp filled very quickly.  LYQ is hoping to open additional camper spaces as more leaders join the camp team.  If your child has missed out, please head to the LYQ Darling Downs Winter Camp registration page and join the notification list in the “Pricing & Registration” section.  Families on the list will be notified first if more spaces become available.

LYQ is currently still looking for additional leaders, at least 3 more, to support camp.  There is also an opportunity for someone interested in serving alongside Max Mayer in a Camp Director role.  If you or someone you know may be interested, please contact Aimee or the LYQ team for more information.

Motorist’s Prayer:

Have you heard of the motorist’s prayer?  It’s asking God to keep watchful eye on you while driving yourself or your friends around.  They are a sticker, $6 each.
