Zephyr Kids Camp is 4 days of excitement and non-stop fun. We have a block rotation schedule that allows you the most time at as many activities as we can fit into the day. The Zephyr staff takes great pride in making sure that your completed third through sixth grade students have an awesome time here, while learning truth from God’s Word at the same time. Each night has a dynamic worship time followed by some wild and crazy special events…fireworks, games and fun! The camp theme for this year is Jesus The ROCK.

Camp Zephyr is in Sandia, Texas about 3 hours Southwest of Austin.

Cost for Preteen Camp is $250 per camper.

There are 35 spots available for camp on a first come first serve basis. You must register and pay the $60 deposit by Sunday, March 24 to guarantee your preteen’s spot.

If your preteen would like to fundraise towards their camp balance, there are 2 opportunities. One opportunity will take place over Spring Break with the Flamingo Explosion and the second opportunity will be selling Mother’s Day Corsages starting on Easter Sunday (March 31). If you would like to participate, please email me at stephanie@woodlawnbc.org.

The FINAL Great Flamingo Explosion

WHEN March 8-March 16 (Spring Break)

WHAT IS IT? People pay to put flamingos in other peoples’ yards!  Those receiving the flamingos pay to get them out of their yard!  They pay more to send them to a specific person!  We even have people that pay for flamingo insurance, so they won’t get flamingoed!  The best thing about it?  Students and their families who work the fundraiser earn money that goes into their family account to be used on future camps, mission trips, retreats, etc!  The more members of the family that work the fundraiser, the more money the family earns. 

HOW IT WORKS

Each night, beginning on the Friday before Spring Break, the flamingo flocks will be placed in bunches in the front yard of families who have been “flamingoed.” In addition to the birds, a sign will be placed in the yard and a door hanger on the front door informing the homeowner that he/she has been “flamingoed” with instructions on having the birds removed. Each homeowner will have the opportunity to make a donation to the Woodlawn Fundraising Fund in order to have the birds removed the following evening.

Suggested Donation Amounts

• $25 to send flamingos to a specific homeowner

• $20 to have flamingos removed from your yard

• $30 to have the flamingoes removed from you yard and have control over where they go next

• $45 to have flamingos placed in the yard of someone who has already been flamingoed

• $60 to have the flamingos placed in the yard of one of our ministry team (Russell Allen, Lane Northcut, David Wall, Robert Baldwin, and Stephanie Shouse)

Flamingo Insurance

Of course, not everyone appreciates the stylish additions of flamingos to their yard. If that’s you, you may purchase “flamingo insurance” (the flamingos will not visit your yard during the fundraiser). Flamingo insurance must be purchased at least 1 week before the fundraiser starts. Suggested donation is $35.

Respect For Private Property

While we want to have fun and encourage some good-natured ribbing and competition between Woodlawn regulars, families and friends; we will respect the rights of homeowners to control what happens on their property. We will not place flamingos in the yard of anyone who asks us to refrain from doing so ahead of time, whether or not they have purchased “flamingo insurance.” You may call 512-442-7858 or 512-497-5255 to have you name put on the “do not flamingo” list.

In addition, if we have placed flamingos in the yard of someone who does not want them, we will promptly remove them upon request at no charge.

Who can you “flamingo?”  Anyone! It’s a great way to have fun and at the same time let others know about Woodlawn! In addition to other Woodlawn regulars, flamingo our neighbors, co-workers and friends (who have a sense of humor)!
