INFUSION
Ingrain, Ignite, Inspire
Dear Parents,
This year Mt. Bethel UMC will be holding INFUSION at Camp Evergreen at Camp Winfield. We are so
excited that your student will be joining us this year for an amazing fun time where we can worship Jesus,
play a lot of games, learn about how to live like Christ, fly down the slip „n slide, and more! Please read
this entire packet and return the Dispensing Medications/First Aid form with a copy of the student‟s
health insurance by June 15, 2011.
At Camp INFUSION it is our desire to ingrain, ignite, and inspire your students in their relationship with
Jesus Christ. Our theme this year is “Love2” where we will look into the words of Jesus Christ when he
gave the Greatest Commandment. Our scripture reference for the week is from Mark 12:30-31 “Love the
Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
The second is this: „Love your neighbor as yourself.‟ There is no commandment greater than these.” We
will have TONS of games and recreation activities (including the blob, zipline, relay races, and a hike to a
waterfall) for your student as well as worship sessions.
Drop Off: Parents, please drop your student off at Camp Winfield on Sunday, June 19th. Directions are
included in this packet. Last names A-L check-in from 3:30-4:15pm; Last names M-Z check in from 4:305:15pm (to disperse traffic on the narrow camp road).
Please have your child wear their swimsuit to camp, after you check in and assist your student with their
luggage to their cabin to meet one of their counselors you will then walk them down to the lakefront
where the lifeguards will administer their swim test. You may leave after you have checked your student
in with their second counselor at the lakefront.
Return/Parents‟ Day: Parents, please arrive at Camp Winfield on Friday, June 24th at 9:30am to
participate in our closing session. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to be involved in your child‟s
spiritual growth and one of the most important parts our week. You won‟t want to miss this worship
experience with your student! INFUSION will end at 11:00 am, at which time you can take your
student(s) home.

Directions to Camp Winfield:
Total Est. Time: 2 hours
(MapQuest and GPS sometimes send you to the wrong place – so use these directions!)
Take I-85 north. Take I-985 north from I-85 in the area of the Mall of Georgia. (Which is on rt 20 actually,
between I-85 north and I-985) This has signage toward Gainesville, Ga. Follow I-985 to Gainesville area. I985 becomes Rt 365 (you do not turn - just go straight ahead). Rt 365 will become Rt 441 north. (Again
no need to take any exit or turn). Follow Rt 441 north to Clayton, Ga. In Clayton look for the WENDY's sign
on your right, turn at that intersection taking rt 76 WEST toward Blairsville, GA.
Follow the mile markers along the road, until you're at mile marker 5, going west on rt 76. There is a well
marked intersection taking you to the left on rt 197 south. Travel about 4-5 miles south on 197 until you
see a sign for Moccasin Creek State Park, which is located on your left. Directly across the road from
Mocassin Creek State Park you'll see a sign for "Camp Winfield" where you turn RIGHT onto
Andersonville Lane. This quickly becomes a forest service dirt road. It's just 1/2 mile up that dirt road to
Camp Winfield on your right. The dirt road has a dead-end parking lot just past the camp entry, so you
can't get lost on this road if you stay straight ahead to the Camp Winfield sign.
We are looking forward to seeing you and your students up there!
Sincerely,
Children & Student Ministries
