Once again we will be hosting summer camp at IPC! Whether you are a returning member or have never been to summer camp before, we welcome all who would like to give a little bit back to IPC while meeting new people and learning new skills.

What is Summer Camp?

Summer Camp at IPC is a week-long program where we help improve the school in exchange for room and board, so you just need to show up and help out. We do different projects from building gazebos, painting, cleaning up the forest, general maintenance, whatever the school might need. This year, our primary projects will be painting rooms in corridors, refinishing the dining rooms tables, repairing broken furniture, finishing the bars, and general forest clean up. You don’t have to know how to do any of these things, we just need willing hands and we can teach you the rest. If you do have skills in any of these areas, all the better!

When is Summer Camp?

It will take place from Monday July 14th to Sunday July 20th. You can arrive any time on Monday, though we will have some afternoon/evening activities to get to know each other, so best to come early if possible.

What does an average day look like?

We start out the day with breakfast and morning fellowship, then get straight to work afterwards to avoid the hot sun. We end work at lunch time, and then the afternoon is either free time or planned activities. We all have dinner together, and then night time is hangout time. Some years we cook for ourselves, other years the school does the cooking for us.

How do I sign up?

Sign up will end in May or when Summer Camp fills up, whichever comes first. Please note that signing up does not instantly guarantee coming to Summer Camp. Once you sign up, we will confirm with the school who is coming and then notify you by email that you can come. This year, we will send a list to the school every month of the new participants that have signed up, so you should know within a few weeks. The earlier you sign up, the earlier you will know you can come and book your flights!

Who do I contact if I have questions?

You can contact either Paige Skrypnek or Benjamin Mertick. We can be reached by email through pskrypnek@gmail.com or find us on facebook (note that Paige is Paige Simone on Facebook).
