Rebates are offered to individual campers who are participating (attending church, Bible study &/or confirmation, youth activities, etc.) members of CTR for one camp session per person per the 2016 summer season. Please fill out one form per camper. Remember to send your registration to Camp Lutherhoma as soon as possible. When you receive your registration confirmation attach a copy to the rebate form and return it to Christ the Redeemer in the Lay Ministry of Youth drawer in the Volunteer Office. The amount of the rebate will depend on how many youth apply by June 1 but will not exceed 50% of your costs and will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. Forms submitted after June 1 will be considered with any funds that remain. Please check the April or May edition of the CTR Cornerstone newsletter for a copy of the rebate form.
