When: July 4 thru July 9, 2010 Check in on July 4 after 4 p.m., check out on July 9 by 12 noon. (5 nights total)
Theme: “Re-energizing the Church in the 21st Century through Relationships in Christ.”
How much will it cost: $114.00 per night per room. This includes the use of most of the activities on the property. You will remit your payment to Cloud Nine Church of Christ and we will pay the total with one check to receive this discounted rate and avoid the room tax. The rooms are two queen beds or one king. A limited supply of roll-a-way beds is available for an additional charge of $30/stay. There is a minimum stay for 4 nights per room at this reduced rate. Handicapped rooms are available.
We also made arrangements with the resort to offer this half-price room rate for up to three nights either before or after the camp, if you want to enjoy an extended vacation in Colorado Springs. These extra night rooms will be booked along with your camp reservation.
The conference room is available to us for the entire period of our stay. It will be used for our general assemblies, and can be a common gathering room anytime we chose to gather for studies, visiting, singing, games, etc.
Food: Resort restaurant, or area dining
There are two nice restaurants available at the resort. Children 7 years or under eat free when accompanied by a paying adult. Children 8 to 12 are half price. There is a limit of two children per adult. This food is very good, ranging in price from $7 to $25. There is a wonderful buffet. There are many fast food and sit down restaurants within a 10-minute drive of the resort. The rooms each have a refrigerator (no microwave), so cold food can also be brought and eaten in your rooms. They do not allow us to bring in food to eat in the public areas of the resort. Food can be paid for at the time of purchase or charged to your room; but will be paid directly by you at checkout (not added to the Church tax-free account).
Activities: There are many activities available to us at the Resort, which are included in the cost of our room. These include volleyball, basketball, racquetball, tennis, swimming, full fitness center with exercise classes. There is a wonderful playground area for the children, and a beach beside the lake. There is a large lake on the property with paddle boats, sail boats, catch-and-release fishing. There is a large golf course on the property for an additional cost. Some of these activities have limited free access. Details will be available at the camp.
Registration: There are two steps to registration. You must complete both to get the tax-free status of your room.
1. Call Cheyenne Mountain Resort (800)428-8886, tell them you are with the Church of Christ group on July 4, and how many rooms/type of rooms you want. Specify if you are staying July 4 till 9 or July 5 till 9. If you desire extra nights before the July 4th or after July 8th, also book them at this time. You will need to give them a credit card for incidentals at the time of booking. If you are sending your money to Cloud Nine, disregard the amount due shown on your reservation confirmation notice from the Resort.
2. Mail your Payment Coupon (last page of this document) with money to Cloud Nine Church of Christ, 4960 E. Hwy. 90, Sierra Vista, Arizona 85635. At least 20% is required at the time of reservation; the balance is requested 45 days prior to checking in. Or, of course, you can pay in full.
We have reserved 32 rooms. After these rooms are taken, you are not guaranteed a room unless we add more to our contract, which we can do as long as rooms are available. So, it is highly encouraged that you make your reservation ASAP, as they expect the resort to be filled to near capacity over this holiday week. THEREFORE….BOOK EARLY.
RV spaces: There are numerous RV camp facilities in Colorado Springs. Camper hook-up spaces range in price from $30 to $45 per night. Here are the names and phone numbers of three facilities: Garden of the Gods Campground- 800-248-9451; Mountaindale Campground-719-576-0619; Goldfield Campground-888-471-0495. You are welcome to stay in the campgrounds and attend the services at the resort; however the extra amenities at Cheyenne Mountain Resort are only offered to registered guests.
Schedule: There will be services beginning Sun. evening (July 4) at 5 p.m. The Resort conducts Colorado Springs’ major fireworks display over their lake that evening. We will have front-row viewing from our balconies or the large deck! Services will be Monday evening, at 7 p.m.; and from 9 a.m. till noon Tuesday through Friday. On Wednesday afternoon, there is a Park Day planned at a nearby county park pavilion. We will grill burgers with the fixings, and enjoy fellowshipping, singing, and the many sports activities there (volleyball, basketball, tennis, horseshoes, playground) till 11 p.m. The cost for this is being covered by contributions. We provide our own balls and horseshoes.
Financial aid: We checked on several places to have this camp, and this seemed to be the most desirable for the least cost. However, we realize it may be out of budget for some and do not want cost to be the factor in preventing anyone from attending. So, we plan to establish a fund to subsidize the cost for those who need financial aid. Local congregations are encouraged to assist their local members privately; but if there are others who need assistance, we want to make it available. Some congregations plan to contribute to this fund; and if there are individuals who would like to make a contribution, you can designate that on the payment coupon. If you need aid, please indicate your need on the payment coupon.
Additional group expenses: There are additional expenses, above the room cost, that we are incurring. ie. audio/visual equipment, park pavilion rental and food for the park day, room set-up fees, etc. These will probably total around $1200-$1500. Some congregations have agreed to contribute to these costs. If you as an individual choose to contribute towards these charges, you can indicate this on the payment coupon. If your congregation would like to contribute, contact Duane Cogburn – 520-378-1878.
Contact Information: If you have questions that have not been covered, you can call Duane Cogburn at 520-227-4984, or 520-378-1878, duane.cogburn@coopermed.com. For items concerning registration, contact Keith Moore at 520-456-9778, keithalanmoore@msn.com
If you know of others who would be interested in attending this meeting, please pass this information along to them, or send us their e-mail address and we’ll forward it to them. cogbda@msn.com for distribution.
