I got this invitation to the Norwegian Youth Camp, the summer of 2000. Since it is written in Norwegian I've taken the liberty to translate it, so that YOU can be able to read it as well. Feel free to come. The invitation is for YOU!
Dear Christian friends,
Dearest greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is
a pleasure to invite you to youth camp 2000 which will be hosted at "Agderstrand
Leirsted" in Søgne - Norway (the same place as the camp in 95 &
96), from Monday July 24 through Sunday July 30. Youth from several
countries in Europe, possibly Canada & USA as well will gather for
fellowship in 7 days, and we have great expectations for this convention.
Our main purpose for gathering is always the word of God, and Brother Barry
Coffey from Ohio USA will come and minister the Word of God to us.
We've invited another preacher as well, but currently it's not settled
who that will be. In addition to the services we'll take you on trips
and activities. The south part of Norway (Sørlandet) has many
places worth seeing, and the campground itself has a lot of possibilities
for outdoor activities as well.
We are planning a possible trip in the southern skerry yard ( on the
ocean close to the coast among small icelands and water inlets etc). A
trip to Møvik Fort (castle), Ravndalen Nature Park, and Gimle farm.
We're also working with possible alternative trips. Ex Setesdalen Mineral
Park.
We would like to ask you to come as early as possible July the 24th
to register.
Various information about the camp, prices etc.
The total price for the whole camp, everything included will be NOK 1900,- (Approximately 235 USD, 460 DEM, 150 GBP (Translator's calculations))
We will have to ask you to pay a deposit on 400 NOK (50 USD, 96 DEM,
32 GPB) before June 1. Mark the payment "Camp 2000" !

The rest of the payment will be paid the day you arrive and register for the camp. We will also ask you to fill out the "Sign up" form, and send it to us as soon as possible, and before June 1 2000. Your "Sign Up" will only be valid if you've completed the form, and sent it to us before June 1, as well as paying the deposit fee. Every person under 14 years old will have to come along with their parents/supervisors. Every other "solution" will have to be arranged in advance with the camp manager William Reiersen. Staying on the camp ground in tents is no longer allowed. To be able to partake in all the activities (trips etc), you will have to be registered and stay on the camp grounds.
