Wisconsin Teens for Life Convention 2011

jlittle — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 23:22:21 +0000

It’s that time of year, again! Join us in LaCrosse, WI for the Wisconsin Teens for Life Convention! Saturday, April 16 will be here before you know it. Register now by going to www.wrtl.org for more information.

Special teen workshops will include: Abortion and Human Rights, Speaking Up for Life and Never Apologize for the Truth! We will also have separate workshop sessions for tweens — ages 9-12, with rumor of a Narnia theme in the works.

Other activities will include games (with prizes, of course), the annual teen pizza banquet and, perhaps even a bit of swing dancing for those who would like to learn.

BUT… the most important part of the day will be YOUR chance to learn more about how you can help save lives. And we’re pretty sure you’ll make some great new friends in the process.

Join us in Onalaska, WI (right by LaCrosse) on Saturday, April 16, and be a part of the most pro-life generation in history!!

Camp Nehemiah – North

jlittle — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 22:11:40 +0000

Our advanced camp is even MORE fun when it’s held “up north” in the woods of Wisconsin. Join us for three days of advanced training in the life issues, along with great food, the opportunity to meet new friends and a few games that will challenge your mental abilities and leave you laughing until you hurt. Camp Esther (Sunday through Monday) is a pre-requisite for Camp Nehemiah, but don’t worry — you can do both in the same year. (We even have a special rate for the full week!) Join us to hear exciting speakers in sessions like: “Bioethics: Interview with a Creeper,” “Abortion as Genocide,” “China’s Deadly Policy,” “Aborting America in 2010″ and much, MUCH more! Check out our events calendar and our “Leadership Camps” links for more information! A fun time will be had by all — and you’ll learn how to help save lives. Does it GET any better than that???

Camp Esther – North

jlittle — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 22:06:13 +0000

Join us “up north” for three days of fun and facts relating to the life issues. Camp Esther, our basic camp, gives you all the information you need to start advocating for life in your school and community. Along with great food, fun games and new friends, you will learn about such topics as: abortion and prenatal development, euthanasia, the history of the right-to-life movement, stem cells and cloning, how to debate and much, much more. Campers who wish to have the whole camp experience in one summer are encouraged to choose our “full week” option and stay for Camp Nehemiah, our advanced camp which runs Wednesday morning through Friday afternoon. Before attending Camp Nehemiah, campers MUST attend Camp Esther — but don’t worry, you can do them both in the same year! (We aim to please… and to train the next generation of right-to-life advocates, of course.)

Camp Nehemiah – South

jlittle — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 20:51:25 +0000

Camp Nehemiah is our advanced camp — the place where you learn even MORE about how to become an advocate for the unborn and the medically vulnerable. Nehemiah builds off of the information you learn at Esther and takes you to an even greater level of understanding in the fight for life. The food is just as delicious, the friends are just as awesome, the games are even more fun… the only huge difference is that the sessions are amped up quite a bit. But that’s cool, because more information makes you better equipped to save lives. Right???

Camp Esther – South

Camp Esther is our basic camp — it is held two times every summer, once in the southern part of the state and again in what we like to call “the north woods.” Esther runs for three days, starting Sunday evening and ending Tuesday afternoon. This camp provides teens with all of the basic information they will need to share the right-to-life message with their peers. Topics include abortion and prenatal development, the history of the right-to-life movement, stem cells and cloning, euthanasia, how our government works and much, much more! Campers who wish to have the whole camp experience in one summer are encouraged to choose our “full week” option and stay for Camp Nehemiah, our advanced camp which runs Wednesday morning through Friday afternoon. Before attending Camp Nehemiah, campers MUST attend Camp Esther — but don’t worry, you can do them both in the same year! (We aim to please… and to train the next generation of right-to-life advocates, of course.)

Wisconsin Teens for Life Leadership Camps!!!

jlittle — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 20:35:45 +0000

You are invited to our eighth annual WTL Summer Leadership Camps! All you have to BE is a teenager who supports the right to life and is serious about making a difference for the vulnerable. All you have to DO is click on the link to our registration packet, fill it out and send it in with payment. It’s really that easy! If money is the only thing standing between you and this wonderful opportunity, please contact your local chapter of Wisconsin Right to Life. Many chapters are eager to sponsor young people to attend our camps. We guarantee a good time filled with learning, new friends and good food — but all of that really is secondary to the learning and the chance to be a part of something so much bigger than yourself!

If you want to make a difference for the cause of life in your school and community, join us for a week of education and opportunity! One past camper was heard to remark “This is awesome! It’s like being on an island full of people who agree with me and understand my passion! I wish it was like this all the time.” We do, too, but we recognize that we all have to live in the real world. And the key to making the real world represent our right-to-life values is to share them with one person at a time. It’s truly all about changing hearts and minds to respect life… from its very beginning to its natural end.

If you want to be a part of this incredible experience, click here for a copy of our registration packet. If you’d like to share the information with your friends, you can get a copy of our camp promo flier here. Please feel free to share it with anyone who might be interested in joining us! And be sure to check out our “Events” calendar for dates and our “Leadership Camps” for even more information!

If you have any questions about our camps, of if your parents would like to ask pointed questions of the adult in charge, you can reach her at jlittle@wrtl.org or 715-378-4302.
