        <p>Fall is coming, which means the SBC fall retreats aren&#8217;t too far away!&nbsp; We have retreats for people of all ages and we hope you&#8217;ll take advantage of one.</p>

<p>Our <a href="http://www.somersetbeach.org/index.php/sportsmans_weekend/" title="Sportsman's Weekend">Sportsman&#8217;s Weekend</a> is a weekend of Christian fellowship, pre-hunting season tune-ups and good ol&#8217; fall fun!&nbsp;  We make every effort to provide you with an outstanding recreational program!&nbsp; We believe that if you enjoy the outdoors and hunting or fishing, then you will love this weekend.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.somersetbeach.org/index.php/family_fall_festival/" title="Family Fall Festival">Family Fall Festival</a> has become a new tradition for so many families across Michigan!&nbsp; Cool evenings around a campfire, a hayride and hot dog roast, and our Family Fun Fair on Saturday are all things that give families a chance to get a short weekend away before winter hits.</p>

<p>At SBC, we know that senior citizens are in the prime of their lives, so a few years ago we started our <a href="http://www.somersetbeach.org/index.php/prime_time" title="Prime Time Retreat">Prime Time Retreat</a>!&nbsp; Activities include crafts, fishing, rifle range practice, prayer, Bible studies, sing-a-longs and more!</p>

        <p>We&#8217;ve already had some crazy weather this summer . . . after last Friday&#8217;s storm we were without power for almost 24 hours.&nbsp; There were many trees down, and two of them were on staff housing units!&nbsp; Thankfully, no one was in either of them and everyone was safe.</p>

<p>Monday night&#8217;s lightning storm left us without a phone system or Internet, but those things were both restored today.</p>

<p>We praise God that no one has been hurt during these storms and that the damage has been minimal compared to what it could have been.&nbsp; As we look at the skies darkening even now, please pray with us that our campers will continue to have a great time and that in some way, even the storms will be used to further communicate the gospel!</p>

        <p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/sarawiety/reduced-cost-3.jpg" width=90% /></p>

<p>As a response to the state of Michigan&#8217;s economy and the tightening budgets that our families are facing, SBC camp prices have been reduced!&nbsp; No matter when you register for an SBC camp, you will receive the lowest early bird price listed in our brochure.&nbsp; This reflects a savings of almost 13%!</p>

<p>Your child&#8217;s spot can be held for $55 and the balance will be due 2 weeks prior to his or her arrival.</p>

<p><b>What does this mean?</b><br />
Here&#8217;s an example: If you register your child for Young Teen Camp 3, $55 will be due with his or her registration. You would have until July 26 to pay the remaining balance! You could make bi-monthly payments of less than $35, or pay the lump sum in July. We&#8217;ll work with you to accommodate your budget needs.</p>

<p><b>What else does this mean?</b><br />
You&#8217;re getting a bargain! Your child&#8217;s camp experience will be worth significantly more than every penny you pay!</p>
