This past Thursday, 5/8/2021, the DCCYC Board met and agreed to put more safeguards for camp in place. We will have ongoing discussions in the coming weeks to discuss Covid-19 safety procedures. 

With the Board’s willingness to implement safety measures, DCBC will participate in DCCYC this year. Before registering, we ask that you evaluate the safety risk/danger to your family or those in your household, particularly to those who are unvaccinated and/or part of the vulnerable population.

Registration information:

You can register your teen and pay online at www.dccyc.org. If your family has a financial need, please email clement@dcbcsite.org for a scholarship form before registering your teens.

1. Early bird registration ends on May 16. To lock in the early bird price, pay before May 17. After the 17th, you will have to pay the regular registration rate. 
2. Release forms do not need to be turned in at the time of payment. 
3. Please print and physically turn in release forms to Clement’s mailbox in the church office.
   Note: due to Covid-19, there may be more release forms to come. To help expedite the process, wait to turn in all release forms at the same time.

The DCCYC board and leaders will do our best to enforce safety measures. At the same time, we humbly acknowledge the difficulty in the task. Please pray for wisdom and unity among the leaders, for the safety of everyone going and for God to be gracious to work mightily at DCCYC this year. 

If you have questions and would like more details about DCCYC this year, please do not hesitate to connect with me through email: clement@dcbcsite.org or cell: 214-663-9489.
